Thanks Cliff.

I have to admit to lowering my standards near the end. When I was redoing the running boards, I ran out of 5/16 square nuts. I have used no hex nuts or hex head bolts during the entire project, unless they were original Cadillac. However, I ended up using 5 hex head underneath the left running board. Is it any wonder I can't sleep nights now.

I have since found 5 square 5/16 nuts that I could use, but have not found the 20 minutes required to rethread them and install them.

Looks very nice Rob. Great work. Im sure it will be a real attention grabber with the crowds, once on display. I look forward to seeing it in person one of these days.

WOW, what a fantastic find and preservation. It looks stunning. A credit to you and your team.

The colour looks off with the flash. In person it is a very good match to some of the protected areas of the original paint.

The curator also didn't want the dents takenout of the fenders, nor the wing edges re-built. I have to say that suited me fine.

We also did not touch any of the paint below the box. That area will be preserved as is was found.

Here I was worried about trying to find some extra hours to complete it on time. I forgot all about the 2 hours in the morning from when you get up until you actually start work. Eating my pancakes now and then off to work.

Well done. Great work. Hours in the day? That's what they're there for, aren't they?

PS. Although I'm not a restorer, I work on the basis that the best work is done tomorrow - I'm in awe of you guys who do it, and more, today.
