bump! time for an update!

I want to win the lottery & buy it when it's done. What Awesome talent & Awesome nice guy & family. Yes we meet several times.

​Man, that is going to look good!! I have been following this build and am very impressed with it. going to be nice when it is done. You going to use those wheels?

Any updates?

Thanks for the complements guys. Not sure on the wheels just yet.

 

Well the last few weeks I've been finishing up the frame bracing. The Braces fit very well. It was roughly 20' of weld. Took my time and jumped around to prevent heat buildup. Also took a bunch of measurements and the frame is within 1/16" of being square. Can't believe how square the frame is.

 

To be honest I'm seriously contemplating selling the car again once all the metal work is complete. I just have so many projects and interests it's tough keeping them all going at the same time. Every time I work on it I fall in love with it again. Ugh

That will be the beauty of it when it is finished!! I could not see you selling it after the transformation. It would be a heartbreaker if I had to sell mine after it was finished. I just keep doing different things to it along the way now. Just about got it finished the way I want it now ....and that was 8yrs ago!! ....go figure.

Well I have to report that the convertible was sold a few weeks back. It went to a good home where it will be built to a very high standard. I will post photos here if or when I get them from the new owner.

 

Now it's time to continue building the triple black '70 SS.
