Thanks guy's. Color tomorrow and here are pics not taken with a cell phone

its gonna be yellow tomorrow

First time I seen your restoration thread Andy. Truly amazing craftsmanship! Really enjoyed reading it, and looking foward to seeing it through completion. Love the nos parts you scored as well.

at last, Paint on the car

last group, assembly is right around the corner

Andy, isn't that fun?

What a milestone! That looks so good. I can't wait to see paint on mine.

Looks fantastic, Andy. Get it done by April 5th and join us on Route 66!

Sweet!

I had better send you the engine mount

Wow, looks great, love the progress thread and craftsmanship! Keep it going!

Great talking to you yesterday Andy... That looks great! We'll do lunch when you come up to Tahoe.

Awesome job Andy!! Congratulations!!! It's all downhill from here!!

Car looks wonderful... Not sure if you are familiar with this one that has recently come available...

Not positive it is canary but you will get the idea...

Thanks for the great comments!!!

back to the shop and unwrapped my present and got some pictures with the Nikon and sun flash to see the color better. I cant believe it has yellow on it, It's been a long haul to see point.

Now THAT's what I'm talkin about! We kept the bottom of my car (and the tire wells and the engine bay) black, but it's interesting to see the other perspective with yours being painted yellow like that.

Next thing you know Shea will be painting his bottom Yellow

It looks so good in black but the factory definitely painted over the seam sealing and undercoat so that was the obvious course to take. Next will be to put the suspension back on the car and off the rotiss, I know Shea's GT wheel wells are yellow

Wow! What progress Andy. Always a special day when it get's color

Ready to start on mine once your is off the rotisserie?

I'm so jealous.

Some day.....

Beautiful Andy. Congrats!

So I'm cleaning up the rack and would like to flush it out and and some fresh oil in but need some recommendations

Thanks in advance!!

This if from a post in 2003 I found in a search. Whats inside the rack now is a light grease thats black in color. I think its just really dirty but the rack moves smooth with no slop/play

Andy,

Beautiful build, I love the smell of fresh paint. Now the fun begans with assembly. Keep posting.

Waiting for more paint pic's.

Tom

There's an Elephant in the house Bearings and ball joints are in and waiting to hear back from Rebel on correct P/N for Eibach 140lbs springs for their coil over kit. Should have it on the ground soon.

Time to get her on her wheels again Some of this is coming back off again for plated parts and the coil over kit. Mainly to get the rest of the paint finished

the long haul to a fully painted car is almost here

That looks awesome.

Andy,
You are doing a great job!

Hey Andy, why didn't they just paint in while it was on the rotisserie? Just curious.

Suspension is looking awesome!

Tip: (for the next guy reading this) Put these on with JB Weld before powdercoating and have the powder coater tape them off. The JB Weld will withstand the heat of the powder oven and the end will be finished...

More... MAN THAT"S A GOOD LOOKING CAR! We gotsta cruise together with the yellows!

Nice job Andy! That's looking very nice.

Thanks Guy's!!!

That would have been nice!! These were a tight fit even before the JB weld and I didn't want to have to sand off powdercoat to fit them so it was all taped off. the front end will all come back off and I will brush on undercoat on the exposed areas before final assembly.

The Yellow's will cruise but Route 66 will be here before we know it so I would guess Red Rocks is more likely.

Kent's plan for an off the rotiss paint job is to lay the paint down the way the car normally sits and having it lower makes it easier. We will bag and tape the car to the floor of the booth so over spray wont be an issue. Final fitting the doors now but will be painted off the car with the deck lids.

No cover for the steering rack coupler???


Otherwise way too nice, you're making us all look bad!

nope, just got her on wheels for final paint. It all comes back off. Also missing shock covers, torsion bars and look at those old tie rod ends. I have some jack stands if it will ease your pain

Be VERY careful in final with the suspension. Overspray gets EVERYWHERE. I'd feel better if you had a different suspension for paint.

Beautiful job on this resto. I feel like I am watching "overhaulers"

Doors back on and adjusting gaps. Push it outside in the sun for a look and it started attracting bee's

DUDE SO VERY RIGHT ON MAN!

Car is looking killer, hurry up and get that car out of there so my car can be worked on next

Love seeing all that Yellow!!!!

Good work !!!
