Spent the day pulling all the trim and the front and rear glass. The only real rust through I found was the channel for the trunk gasket. Trunk floor is good and solid. Now for a whole lotta sanding.1 Corinthians 1:27

Don't know what triggered the memory, but when I was in the Navy at NAS Corpus Christi one of the guys went home for Christmas, and his dad who had his own body shop, had picked up a '61 Biscayne 2dr post and painted it refrigerator white, or nearly so. Steelies and the little dog dish caps with upsized tires the thing was slick! For the drive from Ohio to south Texas he put in 6V sealed beams, "...for a little extra light late at night." You couldn't miss him coming at you, front or back! Those headlights were white hot, and he said they'd only last a few weeks.....
Sorry for the HiJack.Last edited by rspears; 07-11-2021 at 06:32 AM.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Got the other quarter stripped. I probably won’t get back to this for a few weeks but when I do I’m going to start fixing the channel for the trunk gasket. That’s going to suck the most; might as well get it out of the way first.1 Corinthians 1:27

I really like the look of this one although it’s a two door. Might have to ditch the rally’s and go back with steelies and poverty caps. I’ve got the original wheels but I’ll have to see if they clear the disc brake caliper.1 Corinthians 1:27

Cream. With matching stripe inside upper body reveals..

That was such a great color on the early 60's big cars! Friend of mine just sold his bubbletop with that paint on it. Some colors are just "right" for certain vintage cars, that teal, or whatever GM called it, would be killer on your more door IMO.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Very nice - period correct yet a bit of pop. That's a very reasonable price for the material as well. Originally Posted by falconvan

Potmetalman,
Rumor has it that you are one of the few people that can actually do real repairs to pot metal parts. Real meaning you actual have a welding process (not solder) for repairing and restoring pot metals.
And, now I see you may even be local to me as it appears you are in Vacaville CA?
Would love to learn more!

I had a little time today so I did a small patch. This old furnace front panel had just about the right size channel already bent into it.1 Corinthians 1:27
