    I just wanted to say thank you for your help. Your comments the way you state them make good sense to me. If mine is ready by Sept 8 I have a date to get it painted. The plan is to use the Blitz Black. The shop I have chosen is going to show me my mistakes and help me fix them. He will let me paint and help me there. I'm looking forward to this to learn more. You once suggested a book for me. It didn't as good as the one I use. I use "Revive your Ride" by Larry Lyles. The only reason I mentioned this you help a lot of people, this book speaks well to people with different skill levels. Thanks again you are one who has helped me the most.

    I am AMAZED by what you do! You push me to another level. I was the guy Customizing the motorcycles. When it came to cars I would do my own paint jobs, maybe a button tuck here and there. Stereo installs all of my own wrenching. Like you and I have talked about, I like to build something that I can jump in and take a 14 hr trip with no problem. Owning a Elco you have to be creative! You have space restrictions, You have to up grade or replace almost everything on it if from nothing else but deterioration. I have changed I don't know how many things, with more change to come.

    Man, you hit the pin stops with the black elky you posted in reply to my questions about the mirror positions. It looks badder than Batman's ride! Slick, cool, and tastefully done - not over done. You are a master. I'd love to see more pictures of the bed lid? Can you PM me some or send me a link to a post with images of the bed and the lid?

    Again, you found your calling in life my friend, and anyone can see it!

    Hello, I like the hood hinges. Did you make them? Will they work on a fiberglass hood? I am Putting together a big block 87 and would like like to have a hinge set up like that. Please let me know where to get one or if you have a set for sale. Thanks

    Man I gotta say you have one SICK ride!!! That hood is totally awesome man. not to mention that front end! i saw an El Camino with a 68 Camaro front end and thought that was cool till i saw yours. Did/do you do all the work yourself? My town is too small for customs like yours I guess as I never see any customs besides cars where people just turned them into BoomBoxes on Wheels lmao, and that's why I want a lil flare like what you've done, for at the carshows every Saturday night, really more like a club though. Did you also redo your interior? I'd love to bounce an idea or two off of you. I certainly don't want to copy your ideas but rather talk a lil shop and get some good feedback on a few projects I want to do, if ya got time for a new member lemme know. Peace.
