Thank you for asking. It means quite a bit.

It’s savable. I’m not happy about it, but really the roof is far and away the worst part. I’ll have to spend time shrinking all the sheetmetal into shape and it’ll need a skim coat of filler. But honestly the quarters had a little more hiding than I thought. And while I’m annoyed about the doors I think my dad and I can fix them too.

Otherwise I’ve been having an issue getting head studs for the engine and I can’t put the heads on the engine without them lol. Milodon makes studs. But all the lengths are wrong. They sent me the right length, but the wrong size. It’s been about a month now and I’m still waiting to hear about them sending me the right size and length studs.

Also, it’s been brutally hot and sticky this summer. The car is sitting in a wood garage which wicks the moisture away so the car hasn’t rusted at all. I figure in the fall I’ll be able to get the car in primer and jump into the bodywork. Hopefully I can have an update with engine and blower stuff soon.
