Why don't you throw those ugly ass wheels away.
I will send a garbage pick up truck to get them out of the way for you!

Looking good. I always liked this car. I like the wheels that you got with the car.

Rick didn't actually get the wheels with the car.
They are on my 73 shark.
However, I would be willing to make an exchange for those butterflies:+

Back to the real world..........................

sanding/priming/sweating........................

Definitely not as fun as Carlisle, but exciting in a different way !!!

As usual, found another crack that has to be glassed........ it never fails. Thought it was a hair stuck in the primer, but it became more prominent when I jacked the car up to pull the wheels................. definitely not trash in the primer ! Amazing what a little flex in the body can turn up.......better now than later !!!

Fantastic Job Rick!!! Hopefully, you will get all the gremlins out of the 'glass soon and be ready for final finish and silver base. Before you paint...drive the dickens out of it for a week to see if any more stress cracks show up. Besides...it's a good excuse to leave it primer while getting a few break-in miles on it...;)

I'm having a heck of a time just getting to putting a radio in, so you're my hero for actually showing us that some great work can actually get done...:D
