Jim, I've been sitting here for an hour and a half looking at your roadster build....18 pages in, but I gotta quit for tonight. Fantastic! You do excellent work, in all areas too!

panelrodder81, He is a local guy in PA. He can airbrush like you can not believe. He did the graphics on my buddies Willys. The little roadster beside his truck is his sons stroller. The paint job on it is show quality. The gauges are all airbrushed with the numbers and pointers and it has graphics on the outside. He does very nice work.

I've seen some of his work,too,and he really has got talent...in many styles. I have his number just in case I can ever get something nice done. I have custom painter friends and I like what this guy does (don't tell my friends)

'75 K-10 running gear, springs, spring hangers, and steering adapted to the original frame. I did this back in the late 70's. It's been a fun project. Still not done...but are they ever??
