yes I hear you.... this started out as simple restoration, nothing crazy. Remove sheet metal, etc. Then for whatever reason he went toward the moon, honestly as much work as we have spent on it we did not realize until lately just how nice it really is.
Over past few days a few people have seen it inside only, only day it was out was return trip from paint shop. In the shop only, it looks over the top. Can you even imagine what it will look like outside. lol
I guess from my point of view, this project was/is in honor of my dad and will be for the rest of my life. Really looking forward to seeing it completely finished. Should be all done tail end of next week.
Going to spend some time after putting together video, pictures etc of this project. Already have some magazines contacting me about doing an article :) that's cool. Don't worry I WILL be talking about the forum here on YT, you guys have all helped!
Considering printing out the posts and putting them in the book too.
See anything we missed??
few other little surprises coming... I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks
