Thanks for the encouragement y'all . I have to admit I was a little unsure how it would look myself, thought it would be OK, but wasn't sure. Once I set it in, I saw it looked pretty sharp and knew I had a good thing. Once all the work is done, I have a heck of a lot of cleaning to do. Then we'll get some good pics going.

I'm getting a lot of my parts at the salvage yard Benzman, it just takes a while to find the good stuff. Spend enough time at any particular yard, and before long you'll know where the good stuff is. Plus you'll know when a new arrival has been stashed in the back lot. Those are the ones you want to scope out ASAP.

I'll keep the work documented as I go.
