Finished the hood up. Only got two runs in it. One was barely noticeable. Spotted the other one rather quickly but it wasn’t very noticeable from some angles of view.

No, I just painted them

Fenders are all done.

K frame is all stripped down and painted with Epoxy paint.

Got the doors all painted up

Inner fender wells painted, body work done time to take her home.

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.

Hood scoops needed a little body work so I decided to give it a try knowing full well they would probably not turn out very good. I would have to say they looked fair. Did them a second time and they turned out a little better. Going to keep practicing it till I get it right. As bad as the...

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

Thanks, body shop did a nice job

Thanks, body shop did a good job.

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.

Drivers side door. Looked pretty good until I stripped it down. Whole lotta dings and dents.

Looking really good! Can’t wait too see it finished.

Nice progress. Almost ready for the car show/cruise season.

I’d be willing to bet that they probably did. Would be interesting if someone restoring one would find it. One would have to carefully sand it down. I didn’t notice mine till just recently, like 19 years later while looking through my old pictures. The fact that my car is red and the grease pen...

Thanks for the compliment!!!

Got this trunk lid from a fella in Arizona I believe who originally sent me a different trunk lid but the carton got damaged at some point in southern Pennsylvania so he had the option of sending it the rest of the way to Erie, Pa in which case it would not be insured. Or he could collect the...

At first I was just going to replace the right side of the radiator core support but later decided to get a whole core support. Cut off all the excess material and cleaned it up real good. The upper portion was a little beat up, my anger management wasn’t working to well. The body shop took care...

Looks good!

The left fender was a little worse for wear on the inside. Had to replace the dog leg and brace. Body shop did a nice job on it. Fortunately I had a donor fender I was able to use for the brace.
