That statement is certainly reflected in your work...

Good to see the word conviction is still known in some circles...

Superfreak Yes, the customer sees the car quite often as he does not live to terribly far from me. He's excited to see the car coming back together...

Great work Steve. You saved that one. You might want to dry fit the gas cap and trim ring,(if you are using a flip top cap) before paint. There are fitment issues on the repop quarters when using flip top caps. Make sure you fit it with the filler tube in place. Pete

I'm curious to why you painted the underside, inside and so on before doing the exterior body work/primer. Now you have to mask it off multiple times, be a lot more careful and take a lot more time in doing so. Looks good though

chargervert Thanks! I already checked out the flip top fitment issues. I dont know if i got lucky or what, but mine fit just fine, compared it with an original quarter and its just fine

Silver70 Even though i painted everything its going to have a minimal effect on everything else. Ill assembly it once, fix all our problems and then disassemble for priming. I would still have to mask everything off either way, so i didnt really see it as a problem...

paironines At one point my dad owned the car, but he sold it to the gentleman that i am doing the car for. Now we wish we had it back

Hey guys, i know its been quite some time since my last post. Progress is still underway, although its been slow. Between moving shops, changes being made on the cars design, and an injury it has set me back quite some time. But now everything has been set in stone and will be working on her! I have a few pics on the computer that i will post, just some of the parts restoration...

Reinforced the K frame by welding her up solid...



Made up some gussets and boxed in some areas...



Made up a skid plate...



Had several parts powder coated, the k frame color was going to be silver but is now going to be black (one of the many changes in design i was talking about)...



Dash assembly fully restored, still waiting of a few parts and pieces...




Steering column restored and ready for reinstall...




Ill get ya guys some more pics of the car here shortly, like i said a lot of things have been going on lately so progress was minimal. Now that everything has been sorted out will be back on her. Hoping to have color by the new year...

Steve

just read through the whole project, looks great. I am curious how you go about making a new patch panel. Do you use a hammer and dolley for most of the odd shapes or a brake? How do you get the holes in the panels so nice? body saw and grinder to clean them up?
