Thanks Barry. I never got interested in mechanicing or any type work on vehicles, just always loved to drive them. Now that I spend all my spare time out there in the shop, sure wish I had learned something during all those years. The old saying is you never get to old to learn something. I really enjoy every minute I am out there. I know that when I finish this project it will not be perfect, but I will be pleased that I will have something that the grand sons can remember me by.

Thanks Barry. I think it turned out pretty good for a first timer. In fact it pleased me so much that I have removed the primer I had put on the front fenders and going to spray them so everything will match. Sorry, will have to wait until I can get my Granddaughter over here to take a pic and then I will try to post it. Have a nice day. Harley
