Work in progress. My brother and I have been working on this car for a LONG time! Since 1999.

We had all sorts of people walk up to us and just laugh at the car. And the City of Chicago didn't show us any love either.

Then we decided to put the car in primer. After we did that we actually had people walk up to us and offer us vehicle trades.

Had the car primered for a long time. This was all the way back in 2002.

Stripped it down to bare metal. I got tired of seeing the primer peal off the car. Decided to redo the work and do it the right way, or at least what I thought was the right way. I know better now.

Looks like you have the project moving along. Just be patient and take your time. Once it's done and you turn that first corner, you'll forget all about the work, sweat, blood, etc. It'll be well worth it once complete. Good luck!
