I've always been a fan of the old 'two-tone' paint job, so I'm sure yours will look great if that picture on your signiture is anything to go by in terms of how she'll look in the end!

looking good there dude. fabrication and welding is part of my job at garylee panelcraft. i am not even that indept in my restoration work! (not for lak of trying tho, its just there isnt the money in it for a small independent business like where i work!) i did a partial resto on fifi (see avatar!) which took 2 and a half years on and off. if i knew then what i knew now about fab and welding she would have been totally different. keep up the good work. fifi!
