    Great job! The "Earl Schib" jingle/ad was "I will paint any car, any color for $29.95". And occasionally there would be a$10.00 coupon in the paper. The secret to a real good job was to do your own prep and have them just spray the car. did a lot of them back in the day. The "assembly" you did brought back memories of "back in the day" welding together pieces of late 30's and 40 Ford coupes for "stock cars" .

      george parker I remember Earl Schibe as well .Some people that lived down the street from when I was a kid took their 1967 Chevy station wagon to Earl and they painted Everything .Door handles mirrors I don't know how the bumpers did not get painted maybe they ran out of paint.

    I like the challenge! it's nice to see bits from different buys from around the country all come together in the form of a roller "in an afternoon". And come together as a piece you can get back into circulation for someone on a budget.

    That old Merc was incredible. My father had a white 66 Mercury Montrey with the roll down back window and as kids we would stand on the back seat with our heads and arms out on the back deck while flying down the highway. He always joked we had 440 air conditioning, 4 windows down 40 mph AC.

    It must feel really good to be able to roll a car into the shop and not have to move other vehicles around. That upstairs storage is a blessing. Wish I had the extra space to do something like that. Maybe my next property. Keep posting videos and having fun.

    Those parts are more solid than the rough body I built my hotrod out of. That includes the front crossmember of the frame, because mine had a hole at the center from being worn by the front spring.

    I’m really pushing and hoping to get it done and see if I can take it to fall Carlisle along with the 32 Ford truck B model, if I do get it done and bring it to Carlisle I hope to run into you and Mike.
    Take care and hopefully see you then.
