Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have also just now created a new photo gallery detailing the entire restoration process and those photos are here.

Wow, what a beautiful car, numbers matching, fully rebuilt, interior done right, chrome all redone. All the little details taken care off, I love cars that look perfect underneath. I remembered reading the authenticity cert and that the color was changed and questioned why you did that to such a well restored car. Reread it and saw original color was CREAM. Makes sense haha. GLWS.
