Most painters won't guarantee work that doesn't include them spraying the primer/sealer. Add to that any questionable filler/panel replacement work and your results may not be so hot.

I agree with both statements above. Buy the timing light, get a vacuum gauge and learn to tune the carb. It will benefit you in the future. Also, spend the summer driving it and then decide which direction to take with the "looks" department.

Every cruise in I have taken the '49 to, it draws more attention than any of the usual stuff that is there. Baffles me, cause the bed has no paint...or a floor for that matter!

Patina is the new "flat black" hot rod.
