So gang, I will be returning to the PNW in the upcoming week and change and would like to organize a party for those intersested to finish a few :laugh: items on my 71.

Things on the list include-
*Final smoothing /matching of rear soft flares
*Replacing 71 seats with 72+ cores for the meanwhile, I am sourcing the components presently and have one lead.
*Welding in replacement section for the hellhole area. This is also being sourced.
*filling front marker holes.
*Lastly the bodywork and engine bay cleaned, smoothed and sprayed.
*Hang FB bumpers front and rear. Still need these however.

Prior to my deployment I had the exterior stripped to bare metal and worked the rear fenders. As time ran short I covered the body via rattle can enamel which seemed a good idea at the time. It should sand off fairly easily. and the car has been under a cover in my garage since then (A year as of yesterday)Regrettably I do not have a current pic to aid us.

The end state I am shooting for is to bring the car back to presentable condition as I will be moving to VA in July for my next service school.

Facilities available to me are the hobby-shop on Ft Lewis(tacoma area). If anyone has a better venue available it would be most appreciated. Laying the material is the most problematic to working here as regulations, scheduling, etc.. would affect the timetable. We are also not able to actually use the equipment, the foreman does all spraying. I see this as a problem but i may be wrong.

If interested please post below and perhaps amongst us local guys this may actually work. I am not striving for a marathon build as that would be unrealistic with family duties, it does seem reasonable that in maybe 2-3 weekends a group of several could make some awesome progress.

Thanks gang!!
