poorboy I Live Here Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 10,670 Freeport IL USA	So what are your plans for the car, besides the chop? I had a 39 Plymouth coupe, but I ended up selling it last spring. Had a 37 coupe project, sold it before I sold the 39 (the 39 was almost rust free AZ car), wish I still had the 37, but at the time I didn't figure I needed 2 coupes and the 39's body was so nice. Now I don't have any. Live and learn. Gene

I was lucky enough to get some other patch panels he had made for his car that he isn't offering any longer. It's nice to find pieces that fit properly and are made by someone that knows what they are doing.

It's great to see his progress, it inspires the rest of use to keep moving forward on our own projects. It also shows that we're not alone in our goals, and that others are supportive of our efforts. It's nice to be able to bounce ideas off each other and get advice and coaching when we reach a job we've never tackled before. Great job Jason. I supplied the patches to Jason and many others, and here are a few pictures of what they look like. Bob 5204170-pp1.JPG (69 downloads)

And I do take pride in making them and packing them per order to ensure the highest quality product I can make. I know what it's like to order parts and not really know what your going to get, so I strive to make sure people get a great product. As far as the spelling correction, to be honest I didn't realize the misspelling until you pointed it out. I can't spell worth a d... so I don't catch things like that, or should I say that I read what I want to hear! Thanks all, I appreciate all the great comments and will continue to make great parts and strive to meet or beat your expectations. Bob
