sixtyfivebox 21st-January-2009, 08:34 PM Not much to report. Finally got the car home from the body shop (2 1/2 yrs.) and have had a little time to install some pieces. Splatter painted the trunk yesterday. Started to install some molding. Had the glass company out to install windshield. Its starting to resemble a car now. The BBQ this year for sure !! Sean

acd65post 21st-January-2009, 09:02 PM Man that is looking nice:yes: It looks like you have a pretty neat set up in the back for moving the body around. I may look into something like that myself.
David_H 21st-January-2009, 09:24 PM Is that a hood on the roof:eek:
Looks good:yes:
sixtyfivebox 21st-January-2009, 10:10 PM Hey Dave - The hood is on a blanket and the blanket is on the roof. Not only that it is a glass hood. I tried to put it in the house.:devil: Boy, that went over like a fart in church. Sean

I think in cost me about 25.00. I left the leaf springs in, welded the casters to a cross bar, and u-bolted the whole thing to the leaf springs. Works bitchen. Sean

63 Pro 22nd-January-2009, 11:29 AM Sean, the car is really looking good!:thumbsup: Cant wait to see it at this years BBQ!:yes: Keep us up on the progress!
greasemonkeychef 22nd-January-2009, 01:37 PM Looks great man:D. Whats next on the agenda? Front end ? Motor? That had to be a hard waiting process on the body work. They gave you too much time to change your mind on things. It only helped me and may other out though:cool:
73NovaMan 22nd-January-2009, 03:41 PM Do u mean the car was at the body shop for 2 1/2 years!!?:eek:If so, why was it there so long?
None the less the car looks fantastic, keep the pics coming! :yes:

2 1/2 years is correct. The shops around here don't want to do full restoration paint jobs anymore. The guy tells me he can get in a late model car or truck, that has been in a traffic accident, fixed and down the road in less than a month and make just as much. So anytime he got overloaded with gravy, mine went to the back burner. Its done now and it looks great so no use cry'in over spilled milk.

Thanks Casey. I'm going to install the side glass next. That ought to be fun. Sean.
skrymir 22nd-January-2009, 08:38 PM Wow, looks really good. Your making me rethink what color I want to paint my car.

Lets see it!:eek:
Well Dave, A little but, as you know never as quick as we would like it. I did get the trunk and tail light dilemma resolved. I'm now mocking up the trunk for the battery, cell, fuel pump, etc. I did get my cluster back together with my new 64PRONOVA SPECIAL tach. Jeff did a great job and I cant wait to get it installed. I got a few other things done that are not photo worthy but, I'm plugging along. Sean

I also picked up the newest double "D" steering shaft from CPP. It is now available nickel plated. No need to paint and no rust. Very nice piece.
