I say where, I say where the heck is the money coming from to do this very extensive restoration? I took my '71 all apart had some of it media blasted and painted inside and out. It took me 14 months to complete. I would NEVER have tried to do this Z. What a monsterous job. I have passed the movies of your resto onto a buddy of mine that has shorted, sectioned and chopped a '36 Ford tudor sedan. He will fully appreciate the work that you are doing. Keep the movies coming. Can't wait to see it when it is completed.

Philip, those clips were great. The music was great also, made me dig out an old Prodigy cd and throw it in the truck!! That was better than any fabricating video. It really helped my welding and now I see how to do my battery area. Thanks for the posts, really enjoyed watching each one. My wife now thinks I am insane!!

The money? Oh, armed robbery of course... :rambo: :lick: Just kidding. I put

down just about every penny I make on this project. Hope your friend enjoys

the movies! Believe me - I can't wait to see it when it's completed either :classic:

Don't "all" females think that of us who love our four wheel friends? :love:

Speaking of which - I got a little something for my sweetheart today. All the

way from the US. Order was shipped this monday - and arrived a couple of

hours after lunch today, wednesday. That's fast... Thanks FedEx and PBZ :)

Nice work... the videos are very entertaining :D

The guy who sold you that car under those pretenses needs to have his arse kicked. REALLY.

Thanks man!

Duh, tell me about it ... I was pretty frustrated when I got the car back from

the sand blasting company! Not a whole lot to do about it though - but to

clinch my teeth together and deal with it :)

Stumbled across your excellent videos yesterday. Two things:

1) They are incredibly well done

2) We definitely need more.

1: Thanks alot :classic:

2: More is definetly coming... From start to finish. Promise!
