You are welcome Peter.

This forum is unique in that people here are interested in how to actually do these kinds of difficult tasks. I belonged to an international "Vintage" Chevy club for over 40 years and almost nobody was interested in learning the difficult to master skills like body repair without bondo, painting and mechanical tasks like setting up differntial ring gear and pinion sets. They simply "Took it to the shop" to get that done. Here on Stovebolt that kind of stuff is part of the daily discussions.

It's nice to be able to pass on what others taught me decades ago. Most important is the concept that it can be done. An old timer said to me 35+ years ago regarding body repair and painting of my '36 Chevy pickup "YOU WON'T LEARN ANY YOUNGER". If I knew how, I would post pictures here of what that 35 year old restoration looks like today to show others that a motivated amateur can indeed get 'er done.
