I finished my car
 

4 Attachment(s)
This is my third and I think I'm getting the hang of this restoration thing. I did all the mechanical and paint myself and it turned out pretty good. It is kind of a rare body. Standard Blindbacks with a plain interior and no cowl lights were built the first three months of 1930 to a total of about 5200 cars. Next up is a '31 Roadster Pickup, but my bank account has to recover first.

Very pretty, Greg. When you say "all the mechanicals" did you do the all the engine work too?

Great looking car !!! Sounds like I should be working on my third car instead of my first. Just like they say your first million dollars is the hardest to earn, so I quit working on the first million and have started working on earning the second million because they say it is easier to earn. This first car is a slow go. But you give me the inspiration that it can be done. Looking forward to restoring my third some day. Thanks for the pictures !!!
