Thanks Robert. For me the inside is one of the most dreaded parts. Just need to get past the color sanding a buffing on the inside then it should get a bunch easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Car is looking great Don. Hoping my family and I get out your way again next year. If so, I’ll see if we can meet up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, I am honored you mentioned me in the same context as MP&C. He inspires me to do better also. As far as the p-hammer frames they are just black pipe. I get it from my local weld shop and it looks like DOM quality outer finish and not the typical box store rough finish. For the two...

Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the great comments. My plan has been to keep it simple and not do the traditional Corvair van paint scheme. So I missed the boat on the roof. Now I still plan to keep the sides simple (don’t want to overdue it) and will likely do a little more flashy stuff on the inside . Sent...

I don't have a picture of it on the truck. I decided to take a long break from working on customer project then the owner of the Mack (same owner of the COE and model A I previously done) convinced me to do him a favor and clean up this bed and get it in primer so he could drive the truck. The...
