Thanks.

So far I made new doorskins to all doors and replaced them.Mounted a shawed door handle kit. Replaced the rockerpanels,I made them a little fater, for a lower look. I weld a plate where the rear side window use to be. And no rails on the roof.
When the bodywork is finished, I will paint it black that make it easy to see if I need to do any adjustments before I do the final painting.
I change the color on the interior panels from blue to gray metalic/pearl with flat clear. And the fabric I change to black crushed velvet.

Future plans: Airbag or Hydraulic suspension, 18-20" wheels and a nice paint work.

Great looking family and the auto art is exactly that, art. If I could do it all over again, I'd have loved to work with you and learn this style. Very very nice work. The chrome on the 57 is airbrushed,,correct ? Last time I was this impressed was in 1971. :muhaha:
