Thread: Everybody that is currently building a car...

Tweet

I'm with ya on that Gassersrule, I think that this car has become a part of the fabric of my wife and my life so much that it will grow with us and probly be rewarded with upgrades all the time, but I enjoy working on it so what the heck. I just don't want to go over board and get too much crap on the car.

Here is my truck as it sits today.. It has looked exactly like this for 10 years. But heck, I have owned it for 32 years so it has been done more than not done (I think).

I have a 65 Buick Gran Sport in the works that needs to get done so I can get back to my truck.

Here is the Gran Sport.....almost ready for paint. What you see is a tintable urethane primer. The windshield posts and rockers in this photo are actually painted, base and clear ready to go. I have everything ready to go, new top, rechromed bumpers, new tires, rubber, carpet, the works. It's going to be a nice driver.

Brian

Welcome Martinsr, you've got two great projects going there. The truck has some attitude now! Nice, keep us posted.

Yeah, it will be lower in the back.

Brian

Great Day!!!! Got the '71 pick-em-up out of the warehouse and started the paint stuff. Got all the red parts for the interior painted and cleared, gonna do the white tomorrow and start putting things together. Hopefully I can get it in the paint booth for the exterior paint in a week or so.... Then it'll be for sale!!!!!

Are you going to air bag it Martin?

Dave, you can send them fords away but they always seem to come home when it's time to die, like elephants to the dying grounds.

I'm proud to say that this is the most read thread on this site, a tribute to you all. Your knowledge I believe has helped alot of people, way to go !

Nope, no bags for me, that costs money. It will be just like in the good old days, leaf springs, just lower.

Brian

Well yesterday I got the white parts of the inside of the cab painted, Maybe this afternoon I can do the cut and buff and maybe even put some of my shiny's in!!!!

As for the Fords coming home to day, they come here to be reincarnated!!!!!!!

How goes the body work on the chebbie, Brick??? Almost ready for paint yet????

Yep, he's saying blocking her by wednesday, paint maybe as soon as friday. The body was alot better that he thought it was going to be so it has progressed faster. I guess the thousands of hours my wife and I sanded and pounded on that old girl did pay off after all!

Can't wait to see it Brick. Dave's paintin' too. Wow, things are happenin'. I got the seats mounted in the "Z" after allot of rearangin under the driver's seat to get the needed helmet clearance. A little welding this afternoon ..... Seat belt tabs and I'm ready to start mockin' up the body. Then it should start lookin' like a car.

So while you were getting that much needed helmet clearance did you get a little race time in??

C'mon, Pro, fess up.....

Nope. Didn't have time. Jeff & I set the body (what there is of it) back on the chassis tonight. It's just layin' on the cage for now.

Hey guys is it just me or is there a faint sound of an engine purring or is that Pro's heart pounding!!! She's looking pretty sweet Pro, and hey ..come on...your amoung friends here....Not one little stab at the ol' throttle?
