With a name like ''Rusty', it fits that car lol!!!


Man, you must really be desperate or is there a sentimental value to this car?

Talk about a lot of work....

Whew! Keep on patchin! It'll all be worth it someday!

The major bodywork is finished on the cowl. I just need to prime and block sand a couple of times. We are waiting for the apron to cowl extensions to come in than I will epoxy prime.
