Ok..... my hood had 3" taken out of it and it was just dropped off at the paint shop with the rest of my 57. My dads is the 58 that was blasted and is in primer that has a long road ahead. The custom pickup is another customers at the shop that has the 55-56 hood that is also lowered.

No worries. I know how busy things can get. I've missed posts in my thread before and then caught then and wondered how I missed it. Thanks again btw. Always look forward to seeing your progress.

Got my frame back yesterday. Made up a little rotisserie and started filling the unwanted holes.
