Rick,
    Welcome!  Glad to see you post something up!

But you "got" me like a flirtatious woman!  Grin 

I saw the subject heading and I got all excited to see pictures of your "one off" car and I saw your message.  Cheesy

Let's see your car!  Grin

So Rick...  How far along are you in the restoration?  Does the car still look like that?

I wish I had an oval sooooo bad!  Grin   But I am happy with my 2 60's cars.  Wink

MY SEATS & DOOR PANELS HAVE BEEN DONE IN MED-TAN LEATHER. ALL MY RUBBERS & WEATHER SEALS WERE BOUGHT AT BFY IN ORANGE CA.. LOTS OF OTHER PARTS/SHOPPING HAVE BEEN DONE & FOUND ON THE SAMBA & POMONA. ALL BY BODY WORK IS HAMMER & DOLLY WORK BY ME & MY BUD's. BBQ & BEER IS A-LOT CHEAPER THAN THOSE SHOP RATES. LOL! I'LL HAVE MORE PIC's VERY SOON.

Wow!  Sounds like you've got a lot of work done there.  Maybe you'll be a future featured gallery here.  Grin

Can't wait to see pics of your progress!

Scott,  The pics aren't showing.  Is it just me?  Or are they not displayed correctly.

Rick, Looks like a fun project!  I look forward to seeing your progress. Wink
