Good memory, Stretch!
here is a thread on the binder planet:
1946 K1 Metro Restoration Thread - Binder Planet Forums

it has some before/during/after shots of the body work
here are a few:









the chassis is still pretty raw... and no real work has been done on the drivetrain as of yet.

oh ... and to stop all the nonsense of the chopped and lowered ... here is what it will look like ... Dan convinced me to go up (a bit) with 4X4 versus go down and lower it. in an ideal world ... this is also the paint scheme i'll have




oh ... and just for reference, the 617 will have about 2X the horsepower and about 30% more torque than the original flathead 6 ...


cheers and thanks to all...
any comments/questions/suggesting/cynics welcome
