    I would have never thought of using that for windlace. I'm not found of it but excellent out of the box thinking.

    Hey there Ratatouille!
    What an awesome job - Congratulations!
    I've always liked Fregates (and Peugeot 403's), but you have really made this one much more than the original ever, stil kept the best character of the original job. Really talented custom-build!

    Ratatouille, this has been a cool thread to follow. I love how your car has turned out. The finish of everything you have done is very nice. If my truck turns out half as nice as yours I would be happy. The only suggestion I have is maybe we need a separate thread for the postal girl. ;)

    Oooh la la
    I only stumbled on this thread a couple of days ago - been reading through each post and RT I am so super impressed with what you have achieved using basic tools in primitive conditions. It's awesome.
    Your vision to turn an ugly 4 door sedan into a cool 2 door chopped coupe is spot on.
    There are some details many of us would want to change, but it's your own car and you are the only one who needs to be happy with it - I hope you enjoy it and that it is soon filled with lots of very lovely femmes.
    I look forward to seeing you get it registered and then drive the wheels off it.
