Keep after it. you come up with amazing rescues and fixes.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I'm moving past the last obstacle. I've stripped the paint job, replaced and relocated the hinge on the door and have primed and repainted the door trim panel. I've also added a filler/ seal strip at the rear of the flooring so that you can't see through the floor at the body/ floor joint at the end of the flooring. Additions to the interior include an issue of Hot Rod magazine on the coffee/ TV table and a pair of John Lennon sunglasses that I applied chrome BMF to the lenses on. Sorry....you just can't be too cool when you're builin' a street rod.

Now all it needs is an appropriate (inappropriate) female...

LOL.
Well folks I'm still plugging away on this one and am down to the last stages so I had to do what I normally do and put it all down on paper so I could do things in the proper order. It may not seem like a whole lot but it is. Here's what's left to do:
1. Install Rear door hinging assembly
2. Install Windshield, Rear View Mirror and "Tree" Hanging from the Mirror
3. Steering Wheel-Choose, Paint and Install
4. Dash installation
5. Install Filler for R/H floor area (to hide glaring daylight caused by gap at R/H rear well and flooring)
6. Interior Door Trim Panel Installation
7. Headlight Bucket Alclad Application
8. Headlight lenses and Headlight Bucket Installation
9. Install Rear Bumper Mounts
10. Install Rear Bumper
11. Install Rear License Plate Assembly
12. Install Radiator Core Support Assembly
13. Install Front Grille to Include Painting Park / Turn Signal Lamps
14. Build and Complete Battery Cable Installation
15. Research Battery Operated Interior Lighting-(This one I'm not sure about how will turn out)
16. Install Body Onto Chassis
17. Install Front Bumper
18. Install Door Handles
19. Gloss Coat Hood Assembly

Holy crap! "Not a whole lot"? That is quite the list! I'm looking forward to seeing it all done soon.
