So I just realized that I'm about 2mos into my restoration, and don't really have a thread for the progress. I have my Floor Pan thread, but I'm done with that (for now) and need a place to put the REST of the work I'm doing.
I made up a bunch of posts, and will put them here, in this thread. I'll then keep going as I progress. Some of these pics are dupes that you have seen before in other threads, others are new. Here's the starting point, on Jan 12th, 2004. (IMG:http://www.hardman.org/pix/914_progress/914_progress-Images/1.jpg) |

Controversial Step: Coated the whole thing with Herculiner. (Helps seal it from moisture and deadens the road-noise.) (IMG:http://www.hardman.org/pix/914_progress/914_progress-Images/83.jpg) |
