Thanks! If you have a chance you should swing by the new shop in Napanee.

Getting more done slowly lol, finishing up the vinyl roof, got the rear windows back along with the window seals.

Once I have some automobile issues completed, I'll ping you via this thread and you can give me you new shop address and I'll pop over.

I figure 3 weeks I should be sorted out.......

Just Amazing work and what a labor of love and art with a welder! I'm curious. When seated in the backseat, will a person be able to reach the door to shut it? I can't wait to see the finished car all shiny and glowing like new.

Every time I see a 77 resto I start wishing I never let mine go. Great work man! Can't wait to see it finished.

My days are always fluid lol (happens when you're the boss) just give me a text or call 613-827-0603 when you're coming down to make sure i'm there.

The new address is 108 Dairy ave unit 14 in Napanee, you'll see all the old cars in the fenced compound :)

Now we get to button up all the underside stuff, park brake cables, speedo cable, tighten all the loose nuts and bolts, install the trailer hitch, tailpipes and fab up the bumper mounts as I want to tuck in the bumpers and do away with the filler panels.
