long time no post here
going portable......... just ordered a new miller 180...been using my friends 252 for the last bit... the thing is a pain in the **** with full size bottles.
should be here by the end of the week...
Paint has finally been decided
HOK Candy Brandywine over black how much candy we will have to see since I just want a hint of it
Floors are done, firewall is repaired, bucket seat and console brackets done
Front channel repair almost complete rear still needs some attention...
Passenger fender and door done. Drivers fender still needs brace replaced
Car still needs to be dropped back onto the frame for final alignment and fit
I`m taking a jump and painting myself....what the hell need to learn sometime
Still need to find some vintage Crager SS rims... roller rims will have to do for now
still havent decided on body trim.... I really am leaning to none other than the C/S emblem on the sail panel and trunk Cutlass wheel well trim
Oh and yeah.... I have another kid on the way so I really am feeling no pressure lol

my panel is a little thinner gauge than I would like mine is the Taiwan panel but I know they stamp a U.S. Panel but I don't know how it would fit
When you do it it will take multiple test fits
Stan I have met Terry multiple times it won't be in the mag just posted on facebook . Best car mag around by far !!!!
Ben it is getting there .... Slowwwwwly lol
Did you get that filler panel alright ?

A bit of an update started to strip the whole car to prep the body found some small dents and one crease at the passenger jam of the quarter was filled with a half inch of mud so going to section it out when I get a chance
Still can't figure out how to post pics through my phone but will post some when I get chance

Bit of an update
Between work and family this car is not going to get done so I'm putting it up for sale
I have no time for it.
I will probably just end up buying a driver
I would rather have someone finish it and drive it

Wes, there are 2 ways to look at it. Easier quicker and faster to sell it and get a driver. Think it over good so you are not sorry its gone. If you can keep it, do so as things eventually will improve. My kids are still home but one is out of college and the other a few more years to go. It did free up my time and did give me some bucks to play with. My project would not have happened a few years ago. Nor would I have had the bucks to buy one already done, and I still cant do that...
