the project continues i just purchased 2 convertable quarters with inner and outer wheel house off of ebay last night
Ok Dan how about I trade you a lawn tractor and an old dog with a new dog house . And I'll throw in the 71 GS and all the GSX stuff after you get it finished of course
WELL I DROVE 1100 MILES JUST TO FIND TWO RUSTED OUT QUARTERS THAT HAVE BEEN WRECKED CUT ON AND JUST NOT USABLE
That &^%$in ebay sometimes it just don't pay to believe what you read . At least you didn't get them delivered and find out what you bought was junk and were stuck with them !!!
How is the project coming Dan ? Want those 4 spd parts yet ? I know it hurts but you mnow you will love that 71 GS I have and I'll pay you to finish the convert . Hell I'll even let you drive it .... well maybe not I probably would never see you again . HA!! Lookin good man !!!!!!!!!
Got one of those rotissieres about 2 weeks back from a local guy here who sales them in Hemmings. They loaded it on my flat bed and away I went on a 40 mile drive. While not paying attention, a 3 inch 10 ft. long piece of steel tubing slid out into oncoming traffic and I almost took a guys head off!!!:jd: He got stopped and I went to check on him. He is an older gentleman who knew my father and a deal was worked. Had to pay him $800 to repair a $1000 dollar truck, but I still was very lucky. Have too much money in that thing now. Hope it is worth it. You can guess what I thought about doing to the guy who loaded it!:spank:
Did anybody see the episode of Hot Rod TV when they put that El Camino on the rotisserie? It appeared to me that the first time they turned the car over on it they busted off the driver's side mirror when it hit the floor going around. I hope I can see it again some time to be sure.:shock:
Well mine will be coming off of it this week i just welded in my last panel. Its time to go back on the frame so i can put the quarters on. The floors were easy i hope i dont mess up on them. You cant see mistakes on the floors like you will on the quarters. Iwould pay a body man to put them on but i want to be able to say i did this car from head to toe. any body can pay someone else.
I am doing a 66 Caprice for my father right now. I have the frame out of it and am detailing everything. Found hidden (repaired) rust in the rear floors and trunk. Pissed me off!! Your doing it right by putting metal in. Don't know why they didn't. I rented a pull-behind compressor with sandblaster attactment and it rocked. The frame was clean in about 2 hours where it would have taken 8 to 10 hours with my little pressure pot.
Nice car that caprice ! Hey Dan !!!!! I have a line on a GS convertable.... You done with that ROTISSERRIIEE THINGY ???? Or are you gonna cook dinner with it > I have that 70 GS 455 that is dying to get on for a ride not to mention a future project that we talked about !!!
