You car looks nice, Fred!View attachment 1715406848 View attachment 1715406849 Had a bunch of anodized nuts and bolts and thinking of using them instead of painting the factory ones looks cleaner to me and won't chip the paint when putting them in.
Thanks Ron but a long way before it's done.You car looks nice, Fred!
Haven't been able to do anything on mine, too much life stuff getting in the way. The wifey let me apply for a tractor supply card though, as I can spend $300 and if we pay it off in 6 months there's no interest. The card should be here early next week, so I can run to the next town over, get a gas bottle for my welder and some square tubing to brace it with, and get the front clip off next weekend. Hoping, anyway, lol. Seems lately every time I try to earmark time for it something else gets in the way.Messing around tonight to get the center stall of the garage cleaned out enough to get a car into if I need to work on something this winter.Thanks Ron but a long way before it's done.
You able to do anything on yours.
I here you buddy been there most of my life. 8 kids all by myself and now retired and hope I live long enough to enjoy my ride.Haven't been able to do anything on mine, too much life stuff getting in the way.

And as far as my car sure would like to have some of you guys close by to help me figure things out I'm not real smart when it comes to putting it together and wiring is my biggest problem.
