Hey Wheelz, after seeing the pictures of the frame off you're doing I wish I had the time and space to do a frame off on the "X". But I want to have 'er drivably ready for the GSX reunion in August. Keep in touch.
YeaWell Jay..all is not what it appears sometimes. I have not worked on this chassis in over 8 weeks. I am out of funds once again. I WILL get back to it soon...I just know it!.. .. ..meanwhile.....
I've been working on the car as much as I can. I've done alot of the body work and polyester spray filled the car. Next step is to block sand and re-prime.
Until Sunday it has been a one man show (me). But Sunday I inlisted a secret weapon (dad). He's pushing 70 years old. He's one of the hardest working men I've ever known.
You might be a redneck if......you have a tractor like this and you live in the city. It's my neighbor Steve's tractor and he helped me pull the motor with it. The motor is on it's way to his place to be dis-assembled for send out. Then he will reassemble. He helps me on all my Buick's. I am very lucky and thankful to have him as a neighbor and a good friend.
Doon a FINE job there Jay! Keep the pix coming. Take your dad to dinner friday night....surprise him by taking him to his favorite place...:TU: Wheelz, Tampa bay
Hello all. Been busy at work last week but still finding time to work on the X. Sorry the the pictuers dont look much different but the car has been blocked and reprimed with tinted primer.Next step is to block one more time and put one more thin coat of primer on it then fit all my body panels then take it back apart for paint. I got the transmission back from the trans guy, one of the best in Maryland I told him I wanted it to shift hard. He said it's going to knock my teeth out when it shifts. My neighbor told him "good he needs his teeth knocked out" nice guy.:laugh:
My 10-10 is #103. Looking for #102 and #104 to park between. Who's going to organize that part. LOL To line us up in production order would be a real trip and a half.
Nice job, are you going to lay the stripes on yourself or use a stencil kit. I bought a kit from Phoenix Graphics but still am worried about getting them on right and making sure they look correct. I'll to Paint all the other parts on my car this week, and post more pics. Still working on the 585 mystery.
Thanks to bignastyGS for posting stripes demensions im going to lay them out with blue fineline.I did my clone by eye they came out okay. More pics coming soon.Thanks you guys stay on me.
Jay...for obvious reasons, I especially, am interested in seeing the "X" progress.:TU: :kodak: Keep em coming! Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Jay..just a reminder:...SHUT DOWN the garage early friday evening and TAKE DAD to his favorite restaurant...SURPRISE HIM! Just YOU and HE. Spend a little "quiet time" with him. DO NOT TALK ABOUT CARS...Life is short and getting shorter anymore! ou: Both You and HE will be blessed by this simple little gesture. :TU: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
I talked to Jay Friday night and his plan was to paint the "X" today. I didn't get a chance to stop by . Jay painted my Wagon 5 years ago . His Red 70 GS 455 conv is outstanding!
