"Now to find a crusty old driver."

Well he asked me and I accepted :) You did mean me right?

Anyway, GREAT job Dave. This is looking really good. I do kind of recognize it too. :)

Looks great Dave, and I think it must be hard as a painter, to do a car like this!
I love it!

Wow, I might as well hang up my dremel. That is some detail you put on that. Every time I look at it it reminds me of a 28 Model T that my friends uncle restored. He found the T in a field in the mid west and basically had to redo all of the lower half of the metal work to give the bondo something to adhere to. Anyway, great job.
