I'm sure everybody else will agree with me. If that's not a confidence builder I don't know what is. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Thanks Dennis, there are a lot of BoZo's rebuilding cars. I just don't have the capital to get it going. I also don't want to borrow any if it was possible in todays economy.

But then who is'nt now a days. Livin day by day and loving it.
Trying to keep the dream alive. Had another person call today. He has a 72 Suburban that needs redone. I don't have the room right now. It would be nice to have 2 projects (paying) going at the same time. So when one is hung up for something I could move to the other.

Is that your final answer? Also don't forget to tell me mouldings or no mouldings.

Using 180 for now. Then reprime and block with wet 400. That's the minimum I do. What your steps? The block is not that heavy, it's my exercise program.

I'm at a stand still right now. Ronnie called me while I was blocking and mentioned he might not want side mouldings. I'll still have to block everything except around the moulding holes.

I hear ya. Is it possible to work from your garage like me? That cuts way down on expenses. As far as equipment, I had a shop before, and have been collecting tools for a long time. So that wasn't a problem for me. Your doing real good the way your doing it right now. Like you said get a couple going at the same time. That's why I don't have much time to do my own.

Same steps. But I prime and block, prime and block, prime and block, more than once.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Here's that Nassau Blue I was talking about. It's a little lighter than the Marina Blue. Both colors are a great choice.

Owning this vehicle basically makes the statement: "If I can't get laid driving this thing, I'm the most disgusting creature on planet Earth."

Nice movie. From now on screw the pics we want movies. I did turn Obama off to come watch you sand. I figure you'll help me more than he ever could. Is there anyway you could talk in a more western voice

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Instead of a how to video, I could do a how to hour 1-2 times a week via webcam with a membership if I knew how to set it up. It would be cheaper than any school and you could ask questions and sit back and drink you beverage of choice. $30/month with a video of the session for sell to members for about $10 just throwing out some ideas.

It was cool meeting you as well, how did the carb fitting work, or have you had time yet?

After a total of 6 hours (last night and tonight) of blocking here are the stages it went thru. Only the outside of the bedside is done. I'm saving the insides for Ronnie.
