I don't recall if there are younger kids at your school and if so what seems 
to be their feedback
on this cooooool  car.  Any future 50s in the making?

What is the hard part that you are referring too.   The rust is gone,  what 
could be more beautiful than
that?      Suggest that you tap all the nut and bolt holes and the screws 
will go in like butta. ;  )
And your local Ace Hardware store has all the SS fine thread screws that you 
will need.
