Sometimes, you just hafta do that. . . Don't worry. Things will look different a little later on.

Take care of those bezels. They are extremely fragile and near impossible to locate. A full, NOS set, offered individually, recently sold for almost a $1000.00.

I would like to add a mirror matic to my '61 but they are expensive and very rare. There are a couple on my watch list on ebay. My motto if I do not have the cash I do not bid but I watch to see how much it sells for

My dad is doing the welding and fabrication.When he is using the mig welder I am not allowed in the garage until he is finished and then I can take more photos of the progress

 

[cantflip]

If you have interest, now may be a good time to practice on a couple of the scrap pieces. I cant wait to see this car finished... the work is coming along nicely and you started with what looks be an excellent car in the first place. Keep up the good work.

No better time for Dad to teach you how I say.
