Thanks! I know i got a long way to go still in some areas but id like to think its a decent driver

[poboyjo65]

Looks great! only thing, it puzzles me how it has the same shaped paint chipped on both sides of lower fenders. But I'd say it is a few notches above a decent driver.

[62Cometman]

Those arent paint chips theyre rust holes luckily i have another set of fenders waiting to be reworked an mounted, which is a shame because the fenders on the car are neigh on perfect other than those rust holes
