Thanks for the compliments guys. I had lots of help from my mentor with the Merc, but all the work was performed by me. I am very proud of it and agree that it flows very nicely. Sure I'm a little biased, but there do seem to be some really ugly chops out there. There was lots of talking and looking, then more talking, then work. . . repeat! Unfortunately the customer ran out of money and had to pull the car. I hope the car will get to be finished someday!

David- I did not make the quarters and skins for the '33. I wish I could. Our shop doesn't have the necessary equipment for a job like that, nor do I have the skills to make something like a quarter in a timely fashion, yet.

One of the quarters came from Steve's Auto and the other from a fella in the mid west named Don Smart (I think that was his name), which was hand fabricated and was quite nice.
