Thats got to be one complex car body to sand. I'd be frazzled all the time.

What were your steps on prepping your tranny for paint?

I don't think this forum sees a lot of action. I've posted a lot of progess stuff I've done to my Mustang and I may get a stray comment after about 10 posts by me

I do it more to motivate me, so when I check in and see, oh crap, I haven't done anything in three weeks... time to get out in the garage.

Your work speaks for itself.

oh i understand that. you just figure your stroking someone else on their build thread. you'd like a little back

I don't know how I missed this build. I have a deep love for the 40's and 50's cars. Great work on her so far. I'm in and will be following this build now that I found it. Keep us updated.
