Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window

Glen, She's looking good. Somewhere online I saw a picture of a REALLY nicely detailed slant six - is that what's under the hood? I should have kept the picture. I was truly impressed with how great it looked.

Joe, Yeah, it's truly non-metallic. It's the same red you see on Hondas all the time. It's their very dark red. No poop on the bubble wrap comment. I took this build WAAY too far. My bank account is shrieking in protest.

Status:
I picked up wiper escutcheons, gaskets & squirters today along w/chrome tail light brackets, wire harness covers & poly tailgate trunions from The Car and Truck Shop. Dropped off the wiper stuff and the rear fenders were being masked to have undercoat sprayed on them. (I thought it had already been done) Marcos wanted to do it before final polish and mounting. I'm going back tomorrow to keep the pressure on and to take pictures.
