Went over 1000 miles for the year this morning and happy to report the car is running well and a pleasure to drive.

Lots to due once winter comes but it is in the "nice to have" category rolleyes

 Great mileage too as it drafted your truck?

Sadly, NO. No flattener, so it's all gloss and the A pillars have very visible sand scratches under the paint. NO WAY can I sit in the the seat and see that crap. The ocean, called the hood, was bad enough to attempt to overcome, from the last exterior paint job. Current painter has 5 VERY nice SS hoods but won't sell one...angry

Sorry to here. You have put a lot of effort into getting that body in condition to paint.

 Mitch, I missed the story. What’s going on with your 66, I followed your build but you stoped posting.
