Man I can't wait to see Robs face or post with my car on a rotisserie :thankyou: :rofl:

So when you coming for it.

Ok so I'm back on it full steam ahead!!

It's not as clean as we thought it was:confused18: but they are 40 year old cars! So it needs a left qtr and lt fender and rear body panel. :shakehead: I have few details worked out but more on those later, first here is where I'm at now.

Stupid iPad, it says my pictures are to big?? Really I took them with my phone! Oh well I'll have to jump on photo bucket! Be back soon!

Glad to hear your back on it Rick,show us your pics:thumbsup:

Way to go Rick! Oh, and

:ttiwop:

:cheers: :D

Sorry we just can't wait for you to post up the pictures so it looks like I am going to do it for you. :lmao: :lmao:

invoice is in the mail. It took me 2 minutes @ $75.00/hour so it looks like you owe me lunch at Los Burrito on Ogden.

Thank you Marty... that's what we require. :bitchslap:

Ah and it was just a year ago when our here Charley Brown set off so make a few quick changes to his great Pumpkin and vowed to keep it on the road.:rolleyes::lmao: :lol: :lmao: :lol:

Rick I'm just glad you didn't sell it and you are back on the project again.:thumbsup:

I hope you got the property also in addition to keeping the car.


:cheers:

The sign above the bead blaster is awesome!! Priorities!!

Thanks you Marty, lunch is well worth it!! Maybe Friday??

Yes Rob back on it full steam ahead, oh and it still runs and drives :thumbsup:

As for the property it's mine or ours!! We have some time before anything gets built over there! It's the last place I'm going to live in my life so we are going to get it as right as possible so no rush.:relax:

Thanks Brett!!

You are right my kids made that for my birthday when they were 6 years old now they are 12, they asked me the other day if I was going to take it down I said NEVER!!! I can build all the cars I want when they've gone on into life but I spend as much time as I can with them because some day they won't want us to!!

btw, trunk drop offs are cheap and easy to do. :D

Um :stirthepot: pot meet cattle!! :innocent:

Yup I just ordered the trunk drop today!! Just waiting to hear back on the qtr and now that I'm in this far I'm going to mini tub it as well!! :D

:lol: we are cattle!

Atta boy! :cheers:

Now I just need to decide on the rear suspension?? If I'm going this far in the back I really don't want to put leafs back in??

So much for the "it still drives part" lol....

good to see ya back in this section......

no you don't, but that is an expensive road to start down.

Have a Stielow Bondo sale
 

Cool project. Was just thinking that if you sold off 1/4lb amounts of genuine Stielow bondo you could raise money for the car. Solve two problems in one. Remove the bondo from your place and fund the car. Been reading through the thread and like your approach. I think my vote for suspension would be Ridetech as it's less invasive and keeps the car close to being on the road while you finish the body and paint. Just a thought. Good luck and realizing your dream.

Late Lunch could work

Rick what did you do!?!

I like the sounds of the new rear suspension and mini tubs! :welder:

I know aftermarket fender are not the greatest but this thing is the biggest piece of SH!T I have ever seen!!!

Wow! That's pretty bad. Where did you get them?

Rick, that fender must be made by the same manufacturer that made mine. I bought a new front clip basically, and my right side fender looked a lot like that one. I am NOT a body man, and it just about drove me crazy trying to figure out how to MAKE the stupid thing work. There should be a law against taking new Sheetmetal, and cutting it and welding it, and using body filler. Junk isn't cheap, either!

please tell me those are not AMD's.


Call me crazy but thats why I try to fix my old crap.

Are you doing full quarters Rick?

It's from "Goodmark" who is owned by LKQ now which it us made by Legon!!

Yeah I hear you, the thing is I am a body man, well I've been in the collision industry for 25 plus year any way. Not my day job but still!! I had my own resto place and have done ALOT of restos so you think I would be used to getting this crappppp!!!


Nope Goodmark made Legon. It was only $100 my org was smash real bad in the front, so now I'm just going to cut them both up and use the back of my org fender and the front of this patch panel.

I haven't decided yet on the otr, I only need one on the driver side my passenger is is perfect. Only need the rear lower section, but my window channel is junk as well (which is why the lower rusted out from all the water running down there). It's $320 my cost for a Goodmark (Legon) so I really don't want to spend the money on a full one so I'm not sure yet:headspin:!! Most likely I will replace the full qtr!! :weld:

Same Issue with those aftermarket fenders I got for my second gen! They look identical to those problem areas. Have you put the hood on? It is not even close to matching the crown on a original hood. I am surprised AMD hasn't done any front fenders for the second gens. The 1st fenders don't fit to bad.

Rick I think I have both of my old fenders that you can have to use as patch panels of you want.

Ok so tonight I though bull this fender can't be that bad?? 😜

So after I changed out the bent rad support for a new one and about 5 mins of messing with the fender it's MUCH better and I will be able to use after all!! :headspin: :relax:

Funny how the right little tweak changes everything. :thumbsup: Rick, glad it worked out for you!

Glad that issue worked out for you Rick,everything you do on these cars is so time consuming which is hard to get for our own cars:thumbsup:

oh man you aint learned your lesson? AMD is $280 my cost plus shipping.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/amd-7003570l

It's NOT an AMD part; it's a Legon in an AMD box!! :poke: so I paid $100 for your $280 fender that is the same :bitchslap: :lmao: :mock:

Thanks Ron, sometime you need to slow down to go fast!!

You are soooo right Jeff, I hope my work load stays the same for a few months :knokwood: but I keep hearing that's most likely not the case :badidea: :shakehead:

My name has been mentioned for another position at work and that requires 7 weeks of training :disgusted: and that's out of state!!

Ok quick question; marker lights or no marker lights??? And yes I know there are laws about it, I'm sure that's NOT what I would get a ticket for when it back on the road :D

Ahhh aftermarket garbage gotta love it! Funny the Golden liegion quarters fit my car the best! I went through GOODMARK and AMD . The more expensive AMD's fit the worse! Go figure. Rick just take it to Troy he will get those gaps perfect for you!!!:G-Dub:

UMMMMM NO!!!! I see what happens when you take a car to Troy for gaping!! :poke: :weld: :thumbsup: :superhack: :G-Dub:

Yea maybe its not a good idea!:)

not fender Rick, quarter panel.....Legion? are they? AMD usually has an X in the part number if its an offshore.


To date, I haven't had any issues with AMD. Depends on what part you buy I suppose.

Oh gotcha :headscratch: I didn't even look at the link :innocent: $280?? What shipping cost??
