This is my first build in almost 50 years ( GOD, I'm old !! ).............. Thought I would be a bit further along than this, but I'm having trouble getting/deciding on the right frame. It is going to stay the "flat red" color, showing a bit of "arm wear" & body cancer -- (done with the "salt weathering" technique, and artist's oils) I plan "wide whites" on retro tires, and a "flattie".............I'll update again when I get it "up on all four"  Might not(??) beat Milner, but I'll give him a run for his money  |

I like this. I'll be following.
And like spacecowboy said, the build skills come back, maybe slowly, but they come back. That and I have to use a magnifying lamp now when I didn't "back in the day".

Kidding aside if you'll keep a one of those micro fiber towels under what your working on no kidding the fibers will catch all those small pieces that end up getting lost when dropped.
