I work on my car one day out of the week (if I'm lucky), so the car should take me nearly 5 times as long as it took George to complete his; I thus project a project duration of 75 months, or about 6 years. Gasp. I'm going too fast! I must be skimping somewhere...

Patrick, you'll probably find as you get closer to the end you will be spending more and more hours in the shop and your wife will forget she is married. That almost happened to me except my wife still has a part time job so she is not at home as much as I am. And when she is home... "I'll be in in a minute honey"...

Here are some shots of the top frame before it went to the powdercoater last week. I just got another batch of clear zinc back from the plater. The bulk of it is for a 1967 Triumph Bonneville (motorcycle) I am restoring for a client and I threw in a handfull of misc. Giulietta convertible top hardware and some new, correct Veloce 10 mm valve cover nuts I just got from S Africa.
