Convertible body with hardtop roof grafted in. Shown lowered with '61 Pontiac 8-Lugs. The series of transplant pics can be seen in the "How'd Ya Do It?" section of the forum.

Yep, there's literally no substitute for fresh plating!

The pleat-embossed paper was a paper sample I received for a graphic design project. Fortunately I've got several sheets – they're press sheet size; 23" x 40" I think.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
