Im going to come down and meet you soon ,Im back to driving now.
I've been using a place in Cartersville called Steel Products. They do a great job. I only have the frame and a few pieces left to do. They have a 30 foot oven that will fit my frame. Where is your guy?
I used Doug @ American Supercars to do the ceramic coating.
I may be interested in the windows & gaskets. I am going to refurbish my hardtop, but haven't even started thinking about what i may need.
Hope to see you soon.

Re: 72 Jimmy "Colonel Mustard"
Received the wiring harness and programmed ECM from Speartech earlier than expected. Looks like they did a really nice job building it. I have a pretty big pile of parts. Now i need something to install them on. Should be getting the body and frame back next week.

Thank you. Funny you say that, because it's something i've been thinking about.The pictures look interesting in all black. I have two black vehicles already and I think I'll end up with Ochre/White. I always wanted a red one, but we just painted my sons 86 K-5 red. It's gonna be black for a while till I save up the $ for paint.

Nice. I like the looks of the red square body in the background also.

Don't know if I care for the Ford towing it though !!

I knew I should have photoshopped the Ford out of there The red one is an 86 that my son and I bought together when he was 12. We did a frame off on it. He turned 16 in April and has been driving the heck out of it.

this is the day we bought it.

That thing looks awesome. I bet your son loves it.

Those types of projects are the best. Some of my fondest memories with my Dad were wrenching on some summer vehicle under the car port.
