Welcome aboard John. Sounds like you have tons of experience to share. Looking forward to pics and descriptions of your build. I have a feeling you'll be doing a lot of custom fabricating. Post a pic of your 62.

Welcome, nice to have you at the site. Good luck in your part search. No doubt it will a nice car when your done.

Feel free to let us know about your experience in bodywork.

Lots of us would like to know more about that. The various paint lines like ppg vs DuPont, store brands and sealers and primers, fillers, weld through...etc. Stuff like that.

Look forward to your progress.
