Trust me it looks like poop brown. It won’t.
 
Looks good man nice clean joints well done👏👏
 
Off to a great start!

Is that an old Mercury behind you? I can't see enough of it to tell what it is exactly
 
Everyone has a Merc.!! 😁 Well not this guy. It’s very rare what I have. If you find one it’s cancer city. This still in the works hint 1948 and I’ll post a pic from few years ago. Just now it’s kinda stripped redoing all upgrades to air ride watts rear link fuel injection ect. Just been in the dirt since my incident getting sick. I’m back at work and hope by fall it will be back and going on the road. I can drive it now but it’s getting cut down mods ect.
 
I have a ton of other builds I have done just ask lol I might blow ur mine. I sold a full custom 61 uni about 4 years back, 65 well 64 and 1/4 slash 65 and 66. Full drag mustang I crashed and sold to a guy in Michigan. I have some pics and info that’s just a couple I will throw out and I can vouch for anything.

Its a Dodge isnt it! It looks like the DC24 or whatever it was called....although I thought those were 4 doors with suicide doors on them... If thats not what it is then I must know! :)

Damn man. I wish I was your next door neighbor. Id get you to help me build up my 392 T/A :)
 
Ding ding!!!! It’s a Dodge 2 door spit hood.. What you can find today good condition yes the 4 door suicide. But what I will tell you from business to how do I say this look and pay attention to body lines. Front fender draw back to foot board. It’s going to be hard to find. All coups cut off at the door.

So I’ll give you the win on Dodge but it’s a 1948 Custom, PCP.. 😁
 
Here is a tip other than our toy life, just thought I would throw this out there. Who welds? Mig, Tig, Sick, Air Arc, Lancing? Something will blow your minds what will kill you with in 24hs you use to clean steel/metal. I have done this myself and scared me. So I’m sorry it’s trivia.. 😁
 
Been still working on it

I just remember the dodge with the suicide doors having a gullwing hood. I'm super jealous, you have no idea. I wish I could restore cars liek that but I'm more of a driver rather than a mechanic. lol Either way that car is going to be badass one of these days when you're done with it!!! Leave it to me in your will! lmfao!

I have no idea, I'm more of an electronics guy than a mechanic/welder lol
 
Man it just take real knowledge what your doing and what you have to work with. I know ur no dummy. I been the streets fast cars my wife and I been together for many years she fell in love with me for some crazy reason I almost died in a illegal street race. Fox body wasent set up for 200 shot. I was young and dumb. Well end of the story I fell in love with her and she got in accident C5-C6 I’ll never give up on her she’s life she’s always my Dollface real poop
