Gettin a few touch ups done on the inner fender wells. A few weeks before I took this picture this fella told me he had re-tapped a couple of nuts for me. I was busy talking to the owner about some things I wanted done and just nodded and thanked him. After they painted the inner fender wells I...

Inner fender wells and radiator core support are in place. Frame rail was repaired where the previous owner had hit a telephone pole and ripped the frame. I didn’t notice until years later that the passenger side inner fender well was a 1/4 inch farther forward. Fortunately everything was able...

Ouch! Had to do a little Frankenstein surgery on quarter panel. Also had to cut the rear valance out to straighten it up. Turned out really good.

Stupid me, just had to follow my buddy into the local dirt track late at night. Like an idiot I stayed close to him till the dust was so thick I couldn’t see. Decided to slow down and when I could finally see, there was a pole heading right toward me. Hung a sharp left and slammed into the pole...

Steering wheel cleaned up nicely with some fine steel wool. Had to fix one crack in it with epoxy. Wire wheeled the whole dash then had to try and figure out where to hang it so I could paint it.

Cleaned up the gas tank with paint stripper to get some under coating and all the gunk off of it. Painted it with Rustoleum chrome to give it that new look. Hung it it my attic to dry for four months. When I touched it after four months I still got a very slight amount of silver on my finger...

Cleaned the seats with Purple Power and elbow grease. Had to figure out how to clean the cargo door and floor piece. I knew the material wouldn’t hold up too well to liquid. After several minutes of pondering how to make it look good I got a brainstorm. It looked like the cargo floor was stained...

Interior panels and sun visors cleaned up real nice. Amazing what Purple Power and a little elbow grease can do.

Thanks

That’s great. I’m sure you’ll have tons of fun driving it.

Passenger door, not any better than the drivers door. Both doors had a crease in the middle like they had been opened really hard when parked to close to a metal sign.
