          Wow
          awesome - what por are you using - seems the standard stuff is black but yours looks gray or silver?
          or are you using rust bullet or aluthane?
          There's always something new to learn.

            The frame is done with black, the belly of the car with silver.......POR-15.

                I like too!

                Amazing......what is the deal with Western Kansas? Does it not rain there? How did this not have rot clear to the door handles?

                  Western Kansas has low humidity and sandy soil.

                      Looks like the progress is coming along fine Ed I don't know which is harder to come by the time for a project or the money. All I can say is Mary is going to have one fine car what a lucky lady. Good luck with it.

                          Wow! What a great find and project. I'd love to do something from the 40s or early 50s, but for the foreseeable future it's just a 'someday' dream. Good luck and keep the SITREPs coming.
