We got some time in on this one the last few days. The door and trunklid jambs are painted and we hung them back on the car. Over the next few weeks we'll finish up a little work on them and get them painted; then start on the front clip.

It's definitely been a long haul, Dave. I was looking back and I started this thread 4 years ago. Just adding up costs in my head it will probably be another year or two before this is done. But I think it'll be a nice looking ride when it's done.

Heck, that's a quick build for me on my stuff!!!! Started on my Ranchero a few years before that, it's still sitting in the little garage being used as a storage shelf and waiting for it's turn on the chassis table!!!!

Dave, I thought that little Bronco you started on was way cool! Put that ahead of the Ranchero!

Been giving that one some thought, keep thinking a 105" wheelbase altered style chassis might make it a fun bracket car to play with. Sold my '83 Horse a couple years back, got no toys to go play bracket racer with anymore.....

Thanks! I'm anxious to get it out to the local shows; there's very few late 40's Mopars around here that I've seen.

It's time to get the front clip done and painted so the first order of business was to figure out how it all what parts to use and how it all went together. I've got tons of parts for this thing but I wasnt the one who disassembled it so I was scratching my head on how it all went together. I had the fenders on it before but never had the full clip together with all the little inner panels and braces. I painted the insides of the fenders and grill with POR 15 a few days ago. After rooting through several boxes I got all the good parts sorted and figured out which ones were going on the car. I also made a trip to Lowes and bought all new bolts rather than trying to clean up the old ones. Finally it's all together and we can start getting it ready for paint. I think I'm just going to build new inner fendrs and mount the battery in the trunk. The factory ones wont even come close to fitting around the engine.

Lookin' good! You managed to work the plan far better than I, escaping to the shop and accomplishing something on the car today! Good work!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
