Project- Bills Buggy
Been a little while so I figured I would give a progress report.. We have been moving along slowly but surely on the Buggy.. Been working on getting the bodywork on the new quarter done, and we seem to be getting close. Also we have been doing body work all over the car.. had to put a patch in the drivers side rocker panel. I also spent the better part of a week cleaning the front and rear window channels.. Whoever had this car before messed up the clips when they pulled the original vinyl off.. so.. they used sheet metal screws to hold the reveal moldings on!! (ran the screws straight down through the trim.. so I have had to find replacement trim) .. and to insure the car didnt leak, the FILLED both window channels FULL of at least two differant types of silicone.. dear lord what a mess.. at any rate, got it all cleaned out and got the channels into primer.. also sometime in the buggy's life, the trunk springs let go, causing two nice updingers at the base of where the vinyl top ends.. so that got fixed as well.. Hopefully this weekend the guy that does upholstery work in this area will be able to come and put in my new headliner and put on my new vinyl top.. I wanted to wait until after all the body work was done to do this part.. BUT.. with the way things are these days, I want to get it done while I have the money.. after those two things are installed I will put the glass back in and cover the top real good with plastic and go back to the bodywork and paint.. Hopefully things will be moving along even faster now.. enjoy the pics.. more to come.. Oh yea, I got my dash all out so i can give in a quick repaint while the glass is out lol..
