Well we got a few donor cars and are gonna use the best parts out of those cars.
One is a 1975 ln and one is a 76. The 75 is a bucket seat and console car. the interior is alright but it has been sitting for 10 years. My personal prize possession out of the cars is in the trunk of the 75 was a complete interior minus dash pad and bezel. we also got all glass except for the front because we will just get new. we will take the roof off of one of the cars to put on mine. Any questions just ask.
Ok guys the long awaited time has arrived!!!! The car is now all painted and cleared and we are very happy with the way it turned out!!!:yes: im really anxious to get her in the sun!!!!! this is a huge step towards being finished!!! its still a long road but it will be a great looking car when we are finished!!!

hats off to both of you.. your 4th gens are outstanding..
Also, just have to say this the bond between you guys over this car, the love shows in your meticulous detail and work. That car is a physical manifestation of your relationship between father and son. :yes:
Sorry guys our progress is kinda slow moving but we are getting there. This weekend we will have the trunk splatter painted. Also my weatherstrip cam in today!!! :yes: ill post some pics of the trunk on sunday. then our next goal is to paint the door frames and start putting the doors together!!!
Question: What brand do youguys suggest for inside door handles? I want nice ones but not too expensive but not cheap looking!!!!
looks very cool! Noticed you guys are in IA as well! nice to have some fellow Iowans on here. Im in Cedar Rapids. Just started on a 65 more door project myself.
Finally got the trunk completely painted!!!!:yes: Sorry it took so long but we ran out of paint so today we got some ordered and in and here is the final!!! hope you guys like it as much as i do!!!!
Before:
Thanks for the complementsguys.We used a product called Zolatone Trunk Splatter paint(Black/Aqua).Its suppose to be very durable unlike some spray bomb paints.
A friend painted his whole truck with Zolatone splatter paint. He went to some remote fishing holes and got tired of the scratches in the original paint. After 6 years it still looked the same as when he painted it, a very tough coating.
got a lot of work done tonight and a few nights ago also. but here it is as she sits tonight!!!
List of things done:
Door frames painted
Quarter window trim painted
windows in
door mechanisms in (on driver side)
a big order from classic industries also came today!!!
