Picked out a couple of doors I had upstairs and fit them to the car. I'll chemical strip the face/skin on these then send them out for media blasting of the inside and the shell this week along with some other parts.

Posting pics from my phone for the first time, SirAndy has made this easy. I'll be able to post more often. Thanks.

Terrific Kent. Glad to hear about posting pics from your phone too. I will have to give that a try. Thanks for posting the door pic.

Jim does amazing small stuff. That seems to be his forte.

I think he worked in one of Santa's workshops in a previous life.....

Wow Lawrence,
What are you trying to say about Jim being used to handling small things... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Looks like you've got the right Guy on the car now, and after what youve been through you deserve it

Thanks cal914. I am very appreciative Jim, Andy, Kent and I spoke. I believe my car is going to come together pretty rapidly now. And as I explained in earlier posts, I will hide nothing.

Those two doors look great. I had my original doors replaced with late model doors but upon inspection it was determined correcting existing issues would be more costly than replacing them with nice doors. Now we have two great doors going on my Six. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Ben - I really don't know. I just know that it will go as fast as Kent, Andy, Jim and maybe a couple others can go. I will not be impeding the build in any way.

When it comes to major parts still needed, I am not aware of any really. I know I need a new windshield (tinted), suspension blasted and powder coated, upholstery done (we already have the leather), carpets, bumpers finish metal and body work and then chromed, almost all weather strips and seals, starter, fuel pump, battery, new F&R bumper pads, license plate lights, CV joints and axles, a clear lens high-mount LED 3rd brake light custom fabbed into the top of the "Targa" bar in the SS trim, and a few other items. I did have new large tube SS heat exchangers and muffler on the list, but now that is handled (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I am really excited about that.

So hopefully this will go smoothly and we will see it come together nicely.

Jim sent me these pics tonight. This is an example of the attention to detail, terrific work he does. That headlight assembly bucket is perfect. The windshield washer bottle looks killer too. At the rate Jim is going he is going to have all my parts sorted and restored before I even return to Torrance CA at the end of the month.

I'd like to know how he got the bottle so white also. Bleach? Ajax? Peroxide gel?

OK, so Jim has been a busy dude lately working on my windshield wiper assembly. It looks terrific of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Uhhhh, I may have forgotten to tell Jim I have a GT Hockey Puck for my steering wheel. I hope he did not spend a lot of time on this. Of course I am keeping it as I may change back and forth between the butterfly and the hockey puck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
