Terry did an outstanding job on his chassis.Wanna come work with me

 

Thanks a bunch guys..

Thanks Don,
I was just thinking about you the other day when going through some parts and was curious how the car was coming along and where you ended up getting the upholstrey done if you got that far yet.

Thanks Joe,
I would come work but the commute would suck and every project would be way over in hours and parts..lol

After downloading the paint pics on a larger screen other than my phone, wow did it really did come out nice...awesome job.

Terry

 

Wait til shes done

 

Thanks for sharing the restoration with us. It’s great to see and very inspiring.

 

Body is back on the frame and the car is finally completed (Paint/Body) and is now home waiting for some warmer weather to actually start back to work. Car came out really nice.

 

More Pics....

 

All cleaned up outside pics...before it came home. Working on speedometer assembly and steering column next - Will post updates as it progresses.

 

Saweeeeeet this is the way to do it, beautiful work. I love the detail work.

 

wow

 

Unfortunately no updates for the body but just finished the speedometer assembly and sent out the bezel and parts for plating so hopefully in a couple months that can be ready to go and winter will be gone. Really surprised by the amount of corrosion and crap inside the speedo housing when taken apart, lots of condensation taking its toll I guess.

Blasted/Painted and Re-Assembled

Pics..

 

Installed NOS Clock and Gas Gauge and final Assembly...very happy with how it came out.

 

The work is top notch, and you will be proud of the car when it is done.

 

Amazing patience and attention to detail here. You're really doing a great job. This car will be newer than the day it left the factory.
