If you feel like doing the cutting & welding, then have it!
A lot of stuff in the engine bay was polished up before this happened, but now that I've got the motor out, I've taken polishing to an almost OCD level. Engine bay should be looking a little nicer when it's all said & done [knock on wood]. Nothing the average person will notice, but a little of little things.
I can honestly say that most everyone I've gotten to know from NJFBOA has had, or will have, a hand in this rebuild, in one way or another.
Sent my filler panel off to get polished by someone who has the nicest paint I've ever seen on a T/A; BLS.
I'm going to have a make a huge "Thank You" post later on, to acknowledge everyone for their altruism; Maybe even get one of those large posters/summary sheets printed to display at car shows with the car.
I can't wait for this thing to be done.
