You know what you're doing as is exhibited in the photos. And it always stands true, "If you're going to do it, Do it right". I think you've got that part down to a "T" (pardon the pun, referring to an older model) .

Re: Early 1930 Coupe Restoration !
 

Flop- You make it look so easy! I love reading about your projects and looking at the pictures. I don't think there's any car you couldn't save, no matter how bad it was.
Keep up the good work.
