More pics from today. Fixin to go to town for lunch 😎

Yup. Mine was light saddle & very different

I sanded it down to bare metal, disassembled, wet sanded, reassembled. And I had to ask that many pieces be redone, some of them SEVERAL times. The lack of attention to detail was really surprising from someone with such a good rep. I could detail the issues but I will refrain. The end product after all the issues is solid. But it seems to me that doing it properly THE FIRST TIME would save labor, material & reputation. But what do I know, I’m just a customer

May he find peace with our Lord.

After being at paint shop for over a year the old girl is home

Howdy! Looks great! Welcome. I know a guy that might buy those wheel covers if you are interested.

When I put mine back together recently I had to put about 4 fender washers a side on the core mounts to get everything lined up correctly. How do your fenders, extensions, hood & door lines look? Everything line up good?

Yup. It’s working great!

Got her put together except for mirrors & hood latch. Bringing her home tomorrow! Woo hoo!

Por 15 will kill the rust. But you’ll need prep work on it. Then paint. You can patch with sheet metal if you have a good body man. But like others have said, you can buy replacement metal to fit.

I thought exactly the the same on the clock.

Howdy! Looks like you got a good project ahead of you! Take your time & ask questions. Like you, when I got mine 6-7 yrs ago it needed lots of work. I’m almost done now & have learned a lot. Lots of knowledge on this forum I wish I knew about back on day one. glad you are here

Everything is for sale I guess. If the money is right. If someone were really serious I can give him your number. But I’m not posting it to sell it. Just found it interesting. There can’t have been too many made like that.

Not for sale. Friend of mine bought it recently

4 speed 402 stock big block no power steering no a/c

Finishing assembly this week.

It is a time consuming task. I pulled my whole dash out to take care of rust & a fried printed circuit board. I also got rid of the clock. You can get LED light bulbs for the dash / gauges & replace all those as well. Like cbolt said, take your time. I too am unclear if the change in gauge is advisable.

Getting close to done. I’m putting rear bumper on this weekend & fenders next week. I’m getting excited!

Great advise. Good ideas. I wish I would have found this place 6 years ago when I bought my money pit. 😎

Sweet!

Catch, spring...I don’t know what it’s called officially. I’m looking to break this down, clean it up, powder coat or paint & reuse it. I don’t think the spring pushes the hood up far enough when latch is released. has anyone dealt with that issue? I know it has a straight slot adjustment & I’ll try that. Just looking for any do’s or don’ts folks might be aware of. Thanks

DA sander & 80 grit will get her done at least that’s what worked for me i look forward to seeing your progress!

Hood painted! Extensions painted!

This is what back of that looks like. And I only dealt with one of my connectors melting. I assume there is another 3 pronged connector

@NicAtNight2262This the thing that melted?
