That's a familiar sound I haven't heard in almost 60 years, tech's good old "Bouncing Betty".:D:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

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.
Reduce Reuse Recycle.. Hot Rodders been doin' it for decades! 8-)
Ready for some primer tomorrow. Also made my glovebox and stashed the radio and volt gauge inside.
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.
Great work! The red being off a little is way better than free ac and weight reduction where you don't want it. :LOL:
The door looks good, your thinking about painting the rest aren't you? Lol
Nah, no desire to dive into all that body work and sanding.
After the van, I don't think I blame you
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.
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 the brakes.

Looks great, going to be a really unique toy! At least you won't go to an event, then wonder which red camaro in the parking lot is yours! Friend of mine has a sign in his shop, "Unique is what we seek, but bizarre is what we are"! You seem to be fully qualified for a sign like it!!!!!
That’s for sure! Not that I have anything muscle cars but I always preferred the weird and different builds.
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 driveshaft changed to a small Chrysler unjoint and should have that back Monday. Then just a few odds and ends and we can call it done.
