It can't be any worse than that $4 a gallon kerosene for the torpedo heater.

Are you saying its not safe to have a torpedo heater going in a garage full of various automotive chemicals, paints, and aerosol cans? Lol!

Definitely; just the fact that I can set a thermostat and it will cycle on its own is a huge improvement.

Made a small change this week. The Fiero pedals worked ok but were just a little short. I got the pedals from a Jeep and was able to make them work in the Fiero pedal assembly.
I also got this...

Lol! Thanks. Now if I could just get my wife to call me master.......��

Got my floor mat in. Calling it done!

Thanks! No, I haven’t put it up for sale yet. Nothing coming up for myself but the drummer in my band just inherited his late grandpas 1977 Grand Prix and is wanting me to help him get it roadworthy...

All back together, road test successfull, and it passed inspection. Couldn’t get plates today cause the license office is closed but all I have left is hook up the beacon light and put down the...

Just about road test ready. I put all new brakes, brake lines, and shocks on the back. I got my hydraulic clutch conversion finished up and it works good. I had to get the pinion side of the...

That’s for sure! Not that I have anything muscle cars but I always preferred the weird and different builds.

Got a bunch done today. Hood is on, set the pinion angle on the rearend and welded the spring pads on, and replace a broken spring mount on the frame. Rearend back in tomorrow and start plumbing all...

That's it exactly! Lol! That thing broke me of ever wanting to paint a car again. Building 6 good doors from 10 junk doors was pretty intense. Gave me a new appreciation for patina.

Nah, no desire to dive into all that body work and sanding.

Well, the color is off but it is flat red and at least now it’s solid and that was the goal. Should have it back on this week.

Ready for some primer tomorrow. Also made my glovebox and stashed the radio and volt gauge inside.

Got the front patch made and tacked in; I’ve been using the Dakota hood for patch material. Hope to get it finished up and in primer this weekend.

Last bit for this weekend

Got the back of the door patched; now for the front

Back to life!

Finished up the wiring and everything works. Now I just have to wrap it. It worked out good using the Dakota harness. The old Motorola radio was in a box in the back when I bought the truck; I think...

Thanks. I don’t think so; I think I’ll stick with the beater look on this one. Just want to make it a solid driver.

Got more stuff put on and the rust in the fender cut out and patched. Now I’m going to go ahead and start wiring; just needed an inner fender to run the wiring on first.

I got lucky, right after I bought the truck I started looking for a door and there was an ad on Craigslist from a guy that was parting out a 59. All that was left was the cab and some odds and ends...

Started getting the front clip back together. I got this grill off the other truck; it’s a 1959 but it’s in better shape and I like the look. I’ve got a little rust repair on the driver’s fender and...

I’m not going to paint this but I am going to address a few spots where it’s rusted through. I found a core support and another passenger door that will help fix the serious cancer.
