Hello All. Several of you have helped me cross hurdles during my 14 year journey restoring Ruby. She's on the road now, with over 600 miles driven this year. I'm working out numerous bugs now 🤞😵‍💫🥴🤞. I hope to see you at a show. Have a great day friends. Thanks!

Very nice! Stunning body work (and black is the hardest to make look good!). Mine took about 15 years too, so I know how good it feels to finally get there.

Thanks. It's a bit surreal.
 
Beautiful job! Now it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
 
Wow, that came out really nice. I'm on year 15 and hoping to have it done for the Conclave this September.

The amount of work that still needed to be done after coming back from the body/paint shop is mind boggling.

Congrats. Yes, every piece of trim is a project. A friend of mine gave me good advice 14 years ago .... treat every item as thought it's going to be the hood ornament before assembling it, and the car will turn out well. I'm not sure I went that far, but I'm beginning to accept that it will be 99.9% complete forever.
