    When Hayes did that song it started out normal as any other song at the concert where the people heard the song and just rolled along with it. About half of the crowd would actually be listening. As he went further into it the crowd listening got more and more into it. I was up on a tower and...

    They used lead on quarter to roof joints well into the 60's and even early 70's on some cars. I too have the tools and have done it. It is a an art for sure. A friend of mine still does it on high end restorations. I love to just sit and watch him work. with a respirator on now!

    I am sure it was brought up somewhere about 25 pages back but I ain't searching for it. With all of the amazing body work you have done I am wondering why you have left the rear panels alone?

    I still check in every day for my daily blood pressure check and a good laugh. And a "Holy Crap how did he do that so fast reality check".[thumbzup] I STILL have the bat nearby to make sure it does not yet turn into an ice cream truck! I am pretty sure we are well beyond that.

    I saw those tail lights and instant flashback to the movie War of the worlds!. The original version. Remember the eye on the snake head? Oh well, it is looking fantastic and that floor is perfect. I love metal but I also love wood. I wish I could work it as well as I can metal. Those old...

    Excellent work Sir. Not knocking your glass painting at all, I figure it takes the same amount of time to remove the paint with a blade as it does to mask it so it is a matter of preference. I was taught by a custom painter who was a perfectionist of the highest order so everything was masked to...

    Now I KNOW you did not paint the windows but it sure looks that way!?

    I was talking about the desert camo pattern to the dirt. Open your mind past the vehicle sir. Relax a bit, drink more than just one alcoholic liquid refreshment today and the he## with the dirt, it can wait. P.S. Most of us worked in the dirt long before we got concrete didn't we? I still don't...

    Post number 899, picture number one. Did anyone else notice the pattern on the ground under the front of the truck? Interesting.

    Did you get that last regulator to yield yet?

    Looking very good, I'll bet that thing is an oven with the windows in and the fresh paint on. I see you have one of those fancy fluorescent air hoses, looks very pliable. How do you like it and where did you get it? I hate mine always looping up and tripping over it. Rick

    That blue paint on the column looks vaguely familiar.

    Not being a WWII guy I will ask, did any other vehicles use the 270? If yes I would say it may have been a field expedient repair. Or end of life repair and that was all that was left. I like the first explanation better. I think the gas pedal was a case of "I can make this thing go faster...
