60Patrol

I FINALLY received my order and at first glance everything looks good. Time will tell. The holdup was the windshield molding, which probably because there isn't a huge demand, took forever to get made.

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes, the diamond plate "just happens" to provide a place for a winch down the road. We also wanted it to look like something that could have come from the era.

Thanks John. I'm going to look at the Trello website as soon as I finish here. I love project/timeline "stuff", which is weird, I know. :D RiverPatrol - I had never heard the term Scrum before. There seems to be a lot on the internet about it. Learn something new everyday. I've also used v...

I can't use a paper and pencil because I usually forget where I put them. :roll: So I use a spreadsheet to do list, print it out, and take it to the garage on a clipboard.

Nice story and welcome to the site. I'm sure you'll enjoy it ... I know I am. Will be watching for updates on your progress.

I decided that after all the work my son has put into the bumper, it would be a shame not to finish it properly, so I've got it out being Powder Coated. Should be done Wed afternoon. One of his goals was to make it look "period", so I'll be looking for input as to whether we accomplished t...
