Chris,
Welcome to LG. Nice to see another car getting the treatment it deserves. Nice to see the pictures and progress. Yeah it sucks to go slow, but it sounds like you're getting some great advice and on track for an awesome build. Keep at it and throw up pictures whenever you can. I'd love to see a few of that 1946 Ercoupe you're restoring...if you get the chance.
See you around the pattern.
