    Great job Bill! To do that level of restoration in under a year is impressive to say the least. Did you do your own welding or farm it out?

    I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.

    My father in law is a retired boiler maker, and an old school car guy. He has all the welding tools and experience. he even does lead work. I've been his student for 20 years now. I appreciate the positive comments. Thanks for taking a look-Bill BTW, Ive found another 73E in similar condition, hopefully about this time next year I will be posting pictures of it-

    I was in Paducah last weekend and had an opportunity to check out Bill's car. Turned out very nice - beautiful paint work. Congrats Bill!
