Re: My First Restoration
I usually hate the late model beds but yours is awesome, very well done. Looks like a lot of love went into it. Don't ever sell it.

Re: My First Restoration
thanks guys. yeah a lot of work did go into it. overall it took nearly five years to complete. Alot of that had to due with school and having no idea what i was doing at first (i was 13 when i got it).
Yeah big_al it did start out as a 72, but i decided i liked the cleaner less boxy lookin fronts of the 67-68. and about the bed, i HATED it at first too, i mean i absolutely HATED it, but it was what i had available and somehow it just turned out good looking. |
