Rear end was re-assembled and put back in after underside epoxied.

Brian before starting on body work

The underside rear of the car will be done when we get some new fuel line and install the gas tank. The engine compartment is ready for epoxy. Tomorrow we'll get to the roof and trunk. Ed will work on the engine and I'll try to get to the suspension. Man I'm tired. Stayed up way too late catching up. Oh yea, the crawfish were delicious.

All that's in 2 days. Man, am I slow or what?

Mind if I ask how much $$ you expect to spend and how many manhours you'll put in?

I'll probably have under $5000 including the purchase price. I have $2150 in interior weather striping and parts. Another $450 in paint. and probably $300 in shop supplies like sandpaper etc. In my spreadsheet I have 175 man hours, but more than likely it will go 250. Remember there is no rust repair and that save a ton. Even the lower 1/4's and area under the battery tray are completely rust free.

Back to work!!!!!!!

Thanks for that.

Got alot done today. Ready for paint in engine compartment trunk and jambs.

Didn't have time to post so I'll catch up on yesterday (day 3).

The rear end is back in the car. Have to put nuts on after painting them.

We sanded the deck lid and cowl to prep for epoxy.

Then we decided to pull the interior before prepping trunk and jambs. How is this for a mint build sheet. Hamatrack plant.

seats

And perfect floor pans. Even I haven't seen them this clean.

Then we pulled the dash.

Then we started scotch brighting the engine compartment, trunk and door jambs.

A little more work on the vent grille and we were ready for epoxy.

We also sanded the roof.

A couple of tips from the pro and Steve was off and painting.

I had to put in my two cents as well...
