Hey guys and girls. Haven't been posting a lot lately. Night shift takes a toll on me and while I'm browsing quite a bit, I don't get a chance to post. Add to that with the gallery change and I'm retarded when it comes to the original gallery, I haven't been uploading photos. Well, work has been going on. I've had a lot of help from my Dad and especially my granddad, Pappy. We've been taking off the rot, ordered new sheet metal, and I'm almost ready to start putting new metal on. I'm hoping to get to my parent's house this weekend and start by cutting out the floors and putting in the torque boxes and new floor pans. Here are some pictures of the progress up to now. I believe the last pictures I posted were when I got it back from the blaster, so I'll start there.
The cowl was the first thing to go.
Then came the radiator support. After it was blasted, we realized that the one on the car had been hacked and 1/3 to 1/2 of a different one had been welded to it.
Next was the right fender aprons.
Finally came the tail panel and trunk.
I was very pleased with the condition of the rear frame rails. Here's the right.
And the left
Now the new metal is starting to be fitted in.
Well, hopefully I'll have some new pictures to add to this after the weekend.
