Thanks for the support
Blake I do appreciate the time to walk around and ask questions, I know you are a busy man so I'll catch you at a show or an autoX. Ya know I asked my oldest son if he wanted to go for a ride in Roger's 69 and he said "No, I want to ride in yours!" Atta boy!

Thanks, yeah Bryce Canyon was awe inspiring, the amphitheater gets the most traffic and was stunning in the colors and shear size. Reminds us how small we really are!

Smile Good garage day!

MY goal for today was get that dang quarter panel on for the last time! Mission accomplished, sprayed SPI epoxy to all bare metal yesterday and then prepped the panels to receive 3m panel bond today and clamped it in place. Only took two years to attach the quarter panel ... not planned that way, but yeah it's done now!

Went ahead and sprayed the outer wheel houses while I had some epoxy mixed up, there are next to install for the last time!

















Getting there, thanks for looking .....

Steve, I ordered the radiator from Entropy Inc. Really nice radiator, gonna have to do something about the bling though, black is back!!

Look mom, no grinding down weld puddles!! Heck all I used was 60 grit on a block and then finished it with a flexible sanding block .... done in a half an hour!!!! Now what to do? Guess I could clean up the tail panel some ...






Thanks for looking ....

Cool Good garage day!

Another good day.... getting ready to install the inner and outer wheel houses. I had to get some epoxy on the inner house, and the panel/ roll bar that I can't get to when the wheel wells are in .... figured I'd spray the jamb too!












I used Eastwood's frame epoxy on the rocker panels as far as I could reach with the tube, came out great! I'll let all this dry and then get the tubs installed for the last time, stay tuned!

Thanks for looking ....

Thanks ... doing my best to get this ol girl on the road!



The carnage from today ... I forget how dirty the process of removing a quarter panel was until today. lol

I bonded the outer wheel house in and realized I didn't have enough product to get the inner attached, so I figured I might as well get the other side going, supposed to go faster on the second one, right?



How come GM didn't galvanize more parts on the car???



Little bit of rust ... just like other side, easy peasy!

Still have to finish the mini tubs too!

That's a little better!

I still have to get the roof section, rocker panel, and drip rail off, that's maybe tomorrow's goal. Then start lining up the POS AMD quarter to the GM door jamb, it'll come off after the AMD is grafted in, and then get the mini tub finished before final placement of quarter.

Thanks for looking ...
