69 Cuda resto

First of all I would like to thank everyone for their kiind words....thank you.

I haven't posted anything but we have been busy. We cut out the drivers side rockers and realized we were at a point were the front end needed to be put on. I got in touch with a local guy who does custom car work and he came over to look at the car. He suggested that we put on the doors and get the car straight before installing the front end. Two weeks later we put the driver side door on but the front end is bent so much (the a-pillar and cowel) and the door isn't sable because the rocker's gone we decided to re-evaluate. We decided it's probably best to but on the front end and then straighten the car. Why align the doors with a front end that's going to be replaced?

Aside from that I've been working on the grille surround and grilles in my basement,

I installed some bracing

As you can imagine my house smelled like paint for two days. Jeanette, my wife, was not happy with me. The other day I upgraded my paint booth with more sheeting, a light and an exaust system
