Hell I had a beer belly when I was 12.

Got a little burned out on the bumpers and have lots more projects piling up. I was back on them today though. Tweaking and sanding. Trying to get the first two done. At least as far as I can go with them. I enjoy the shaping and welding, but not so much the grinding and sanding.

By the way, how's that '63 coming along.

Getting very close. Just a little more tweaking on this one. Not perfect, but it fits pretty good.
I'd be proud to hot glue one of those bad boys on my 64' wagon. No one would ever notice!Jim,
I'll be proud to put that on the Shaker!! Can't wait
That is freakin' amazing Jim. I'm in awe of what you did without GM tooling. Just Jim tooling!!!
