What brand of spot welder is that. They have those at harbor fright but who knows if they are any good.New wire clips, again. Got the correct '69 covers so a deja vu moment today..

Probably the same offshore Junk, but from our Princess Auto. Their cheapest model..What brand of spot welder is that. They have those at harbor fright but who knows if they are any good.
That's a real factory like tool to have.
I don’t think my HOA would argue with that! I’m slowly becoming that guy...That's not an A body.... you should just bring it over and drop it off at my house... I got just the spot for it...

Man that's a lot of work, when everyone of us has one of these in the shop that we've never used..Going to have to eventually do this. Figured I’d share it after stumbling across it.
I know what ya mean about off the road. I have told myself " I should have left it in primer and drove the hell out of it " many times. Mine didnt look as good as yours. Check out my avatar pic. thats my dart in my driveway when I used to drive it. I am getting "close" I have friends that say "it looks good when are you going to spray it". I say "not yet it isnt ready" . You know when its ready when you are the one massaging the body work. Its good that people think its there though. I always ay "when it looks good in primer, its getting close. the primer almost has to have a sheen to it or it almost has to shine in primer IMOUPS delivered the DMT flocked door window to quarter window seals for my 66 Barracuda yesterday.
I just finished getting them in. Should help with air and road noise!!!
I know I'm going to regret not tearing the car down and rebuilding it but for now I want to drive. I don't want it to end up off the road 10 years.

For me, it just got where it was time. My car was originally purple,than repainted silver in the 80s,and I had rattlecan primer over the silver which was so faded it looked like primer. I took the car down to bare metal, cut out the rust and repaired .Am just now finalizing body for paint. But its been ten years like you said. Its alot to take a car down to a shell and put it back together. But you are right I will be cautious driving it. I say I will have plenty of power but baby it like an old man.You probably drove the wheels off your car back then! From the picture, it looks like a fun daily driver.
Mine is good 10 footer! But the longer I wait, the distance will grow, lol. It was painted by the prior owners' uncle in 1981. But always garage kept.
Its a double edged sword, I guess. We want our cars to look good. Heck, I even seem to feel better being in a spotless car. But then we tend to drive less cause we don't want to have to park it somewhere for fear of theft or damage. We know the time, effort and money invested to make them nice. There are a lot of Yahoo's out there that can't be trusted for sure!!

It is, but its slow going,then one day you step back and its starting to look good. You have to be patient and not in a hurry. Winter slows me down for bodywork anyway. there is just no way to quickly heat my garage to where the body and paint materials will cure properly. I do get things done on it at a steady pace though and another thing is repainting and reconditioning parts and trim etc. There is always something to do.Congratulations man!! Its got to be a tremendous feeling of accomplishment.
I'm 57 years old now, so if I can keep my car decent until I retire at 67, maybe I can do it 5 years instead of 10, lol. Thats my plan!!
