I had intended to show some of my NEW woodwork, - undoubtably the first new parts on the car since the Truman administration. Unfortunately, I didn't get around to taking the photos, and now I am off the some istan for the next 6 months, so no updates will be forthcoming. I have just begun to rebuild the wood, as preparations and spending time with the family took precedence.

I have rebuilt the driver side rear pilar, and some of the window surround. The center pillar is about half complete, after having spent the better part of two hours removing it very carefully, as to attempt to retain a pattern. In doing this, I discovered that the two sides are identical, not mirrored, so when I get ready to do the other side, full on demolition!

As I predicted, the wood work just takes a band saw and patience...,

I hope to spend some good quality time with the old girl in Novemberish when I get pack. I will check the site often, so my time away will not be squandered.
