It takes patience to build one of these cars. You should be proud of your work.

Been a little while since I've updated, but the work has still been going on. Doesn't really look like much progress but definitely a lot of time. I finally got the passenger side quarter panel and wheel well welding into place over the weekend. Also got the radiator support and the front pass. fender mounted and somewhat set. The drivers side rocker panel is ordered, so I'll start on the other side when that comes in.

Don't look like much, but sure took a lot of time making sure everything lined up right on the quarter panel.

I know it's my car and I am going to build it how I want it, but I'm having a hard time deciding between these two colors. What do you guys think? In the end I think I'm going for more of a resto-mod/pro-touring look for the car when it's done.

Just like they're sayin on FB..........go with the darker color. If you could find a source of this product to mix in the paint you would have one of the best lookin cars anywhere. Its crushed mirrors. A painter here around Detroit came up with the idea and did this guy's 1940 Ford and it turned out awesome. The car will change colors in different sunlight. Its not like the chameleon paint...........I personally think its better.

Same here, the other color is too flashy for my taste and the teal will make it look more sleeperesk (made up word).

Just my 2 cents and I'm not a flashy guy despite all my gold chains, plaid pants, fake rolex watch.
