    Thanks, a guy has to do what he can do to preserve some of this vintage tin.... Heck, they quit making em!!!!! I've never been a "numbers matching" kind of guy and have always enjoyed picking and choosing a few parts from some of the leftovers from other projects and plain old parts cars pieces. Makes the whole build process a bit more interesting.

    About 10 months ago I put up some pics of some random left over parts I had laying around and asked what folks thought should be done with them. Got a couple pages of suggestions, but truth be told, I already had something in mind before posting. I can't seem to find the old thread because of search limits to twenty pages, or it may have been one of the ones that just disappeared into the ether during one of the failures. Anyway, the first pic below is that previous one of the parts laid out, the next three are what has become of them. This is just a side line deal as the roadster in the background is the primary project here, so it will probably take a couple more years to become something.

    Thanks Z, it's still got a long way to go and a lot more dingin' and pingin' but all in all it's really a fun project! Heading for the shop in a little bit and start doing a bit of work on the front fenders.... Still have to do the doors, too. They aren't real bad but will take up a bit of time!!!! As Hot Rodders, we all know what a "bit of time" is, right?????

    This misalignment of the door at the bottom was drivin' me nuts. Final figured out the bottom of the quarter had gotten bent (in the jam). Now I can start the "Other left side" door . It looks like it will line up without much trouble, so I shouldn't have to spend much time on that one.

    Nice bodywork, both of you guys! I haven't started on my doors, either and I'm not looking foward to it. One is OK but the other I'm still deciding whether or not to try and save.
    I did get my grill primered and mounted, along with the radiator. Also got headlights wired and assembled. My rearend should be done this week; the shop got the hubs off for me and they're putting a pinion seal in it while they've got it.

    Hey, I resemble that comment!!!! I'm just too old and crippled to sit on the floor all hunched over working on stuff, upside down is a lot easier. A few more "unique opportunities" to work through on the 'maro and it's going on the rotisserie to do the rest of the work that needs to be done underneath it....


    Looking good Falcon, what's the radiator shell off of?

    Gonna take the rest of the day off and watch the NASCAR stuff on the tube but I did get out to the shop for a bit....

    Too dang cold to go get some more 20 ga. and exchange the empty argon bottle for a full one so I started the rust removal process and dinging and pinging on one of Tom's front fenders.

    Even worked on the 'maro for a bit, cut a big hole in the floor to start making room for the upper arms on the triangulated 4 link and 9" rear that's going in it.... The floor and everything is just about perfect on the car, no rust at all. Almost too nice to cut up, but hey, nothing is THAT nice!!!!!!

    Dave,

    Here's another picture showing the a rear corner.

    Tomorrow I'm going to see some Vintage WW2 airplanes, hope I can remember to take my camera along. The following weekend there's another big swap meet and car show.

    I spent a bit of time in the garage today. Made the 'maro faster, removed another 28 pounds of weight! Did some more work in the back seat area making room for the 9" and upper bars, the 9" sure is a bunch bigger then that puny little thing that GM put in it. Also had to make some room to get the car a bit lower.... Before I came back in the house, did some more grinding on the inside of one of the coupe's front fenders getting the rust off it and applied the first treatment of Phix to it.... Not a lot of progress, but a bit more then I would have completed being a couch potato all afternoont!!!!
