I think it was the Tied House meet that gave me the kick in the pants, but I finally decided to jump in and get started on my car. It's been begging for work for a long time. I'm starting with the rear end sections. Can't wait for it to actually DRIVE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Here's the list off the top of my head.
1. Pull the motor and fix oil leaks, pull the ceramic lifters, clean everything, install carbs (for now). 2. Fix the hell hole and firewall rust, plus weld all the little holes in the firewall. New battery tray and new rear trunk pivots. 3. Fix the 'access hole' some DAPO cut in the rear trunk. The top starter bolt is not THAT hard to get to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 4. Clean and paint the engine bay and rear trunk. 5. Clean and reseal the transmission and replace the speedo angle drive. Here are the pictures from day one. Attached image(s)

More work... months later. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Engine shelf is in and all the holes in the firewall are welded up.
I'm waffling between 1. being thorough and cleaning everything in the engine bay, stripping the paint, and having it all done up nice. 2. being quick and just spray painting everything and dealing with real paint later. I should probably pick #2... right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Maybe create #1.5 Sears sells cheap sandblasters ( under $50.00 ), then off to your local paint supply store, they can special mix up rattle cans for you with the exact color, not super cheap but it will look very nice in the engine compartment. Keep up the great work! |
