Thread: Everybody that is currently building a car...

Tweet

Real happy these days. I finally got the car out of the garage and off to have it balasted and then body and paint. Its been a long time coming for my 67 cougar. I will be updating with pictures soon.

Ted sounds great . Know the feeling has got to be a good one. If i can ask how much is the local blaster charging or who is it maybe i can give them a call. Thinking of farming out the A instead of me doing it this spring . send me a pm please

Brick colors sound great . Looking forward to your pics when you get it back.

I've been looking for a color scheme though out the start of the 31 . Have some ideas but none are locked yet.

Pro how many donuts did you do in the snow.

A little tail light play pic

Well, the window channels didn't show up for the Merc, so I fabbed the reinforcements for the seats (fiberglass floor, ya know) and got them installed and did some more wiring. Nothing left on the wiring now except the reciever box for the remote.

Decided to play with the 'Maro for a bit, made the right side lower panel for the back end. Spent a lot more time trying to figure out what I wanted then I did building!!!!! Couldn't weld it in, my panel flanger is out on loan so now I have something to do next week while I'm figuring out the rest of it. The new panel will stick out 3" less then the factory plastic bumper (I HATE plastic bumpers)....

Dave pics are teasing . Finish it up and get them pics on here I can't wait. Seeeing this is inspiration to all who follow.

I'll get the other lower corner built, then just a matter of connecting the dots between the corners....Hopefully I can get back to it a bit next week.

Looking good Dave, coming along nicely I would say. I am looking forward to seeing some pics of the ol' merc painted, that is going to be sweet heh Dave?

Should be out of my hair for awhile, going to the upholstery shop sometime next week.... The next Merc in the shop is getting a BBF in it with a C-6. It's a coil over car, then one more with air ride to do.... Anybody wanna buy a Merc????

Oh yeah, here's a shot of the front with the headlights in. The bezels for the headlights are still hanging on the small parts paint rack.....somebody forgot to prime them!!!!!!!

Man, you got that right!!!!

A vet with a Ford BB now that should be a riot. Any idea on an oil pan???

They look good, Brick!!! When is it going into the paint booth again???

Got a bit more done this weekend. Seems lately that weekends have become pick-em-up truck time.... Got some more white paint redone under the hood of my '71, and got some primer on that '70 chebby C-10 I've been helping a new to roddin' guy with. Tomorrow is Monday, so back to my own shop!!!!

On the '70 chebby, also installed the factory radio speaker delete option!!! I can't leave anything stock!!!!

SAY Dave whats that white stuff on the other car I dosen't look like OVERSPRAY.

That's PAINT on MY TRUCK!!!!! I've had that dang '71 Ford for 16 years now and never have managed to get it done.... Whenever things got slow in the shop I would bring it in and start working on it, then PRESTO, get new work coming out my ears and the '71 would go back to the warehouse. Originally had a 428 CJ in it. The block and heads had the correct date code for a Mustang a friend of mine was building, sold him the CJ... Built a nice fresh 390 GT engine, Edelbrock heads, good crank and rods, tri-power, the works. Well, along comes this guy building a 'glass Cobra and the 390 was sold. So now it has a 351 Windsor in it, stocker with a factory 4 barrell. Hopefully nobody will buy this engine and I can get the dang pickup done and sold...!!!!!!

And the white stuff on the little car is snow...Got about 6" of it this weekend.... Might even be able to get my annual snowmobile ride in sometime tomorrow!!!!

Brick the dash is looking good. Like the blue and white guages .

i've been looking for a windsor or at least a set of 69 0r 70 heads for one . The rod would look great with a 351 in its rails.
