Hey thanks!

I'm thinking it will be done at the paint shop next week. Kind of depends on how much work they have. Ill post some pics when there is some more progress.

Got it back home! It needs to be sanded and buffed but it turned out great!

It will have a body line painted to match the wheels.

With temps up to 72 today I took the car outside to sand it and knock  down the orange peel while the clear was still soft. The guys at the body shop really made it straight. I don't mind a little orange peel in fact I think it looks a little more natural, but there was more than I wanted so a friend came over to run the buffer.

 My sons digging it big time. And my Daughter say her and 3 friends are going to do some "50's pictures" with it.

The blue is really dark and goes great with the black. At night I'm sure it will look all black.

Drilled some holes in the cowl for the 34 ford cowl lights.

I got one of the rear view mirrors installed. 2 counter head machine screws from the back side.

I glued and stapled 1/8" plywood to the slats on the insert, it formed really good to the shape of the top. Some high density foam and 60s black vinyl top material is on its way,

The dash turned out good, 1 more switch and knob to put in.

I have been working on the floor some more. You can see the battery goes in the stock location.

I got the dome light from a friend of mine's junk pile, not sure what it's from? Anyone know?

Nice tidy job on the top there logride, both inside and out.  No idea where your dome light came from but it looks like it belongs there.  I expect you will be putting in some sort of headliner in future...yes?

[logride]

I am planning on a headliner. I'm planning on having the upholstery guy make one and I'll put it in.

The seat is up there now, 1959 Oldsmobile fabric. It will look great or terrible. Can't wait to see it!

[cocobolo]

If it's anything like the rest of the car...great it will be!

Top notch work.  Won't be long and you'll be driving it.  Keep it up!

I was working on the top today.i glued 1/8 " high density foam to the plywood then trimmed. Then I put contact cement on top of the foam. On top of that I put the top material. I used heat lamps to make it more pliable.

To stretch it over the top I used tie down straps then I nailed the top to the car.
