LS5 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 personally, I like the 8's I am liking the 8's as well, might put the Derby caps on it though and save the disk brake caps for the 7's and put them on the other 4spd as it has plain jane steel wheels on it. Derby's just keep it looking oem somewhat more so. Sam your car is coming along nicely....very nice actually.... Darren. Quote
overdrive Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 "Sam on the trim on the lower part of the door panel did you have to install it?" "No, that's original on a 1970." And that's another reason the '70 is the king. Dan Quote
Leghome Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I thought he had replaced the trim panels was the reason I asked if he installed the moldings. I ordered new Panels for my 72 from Legendary and I have to remove the moldings form mine and install them on the new panels. Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 nope, these are the original door panels, just fresh dye Quote
Rock Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Woo hoo.....my new lower moldings showed up today. I can't believe how much I have spent on this car. Some day my car may be as nice as some of your guys cars, I am not worthy yet! 1 Quote
black07ss Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Woo hoo.....my new lower moldings showed up today. I can't believe how much I have spent on this car. Some day my car may be as nice as some of your guys cars, I am not worthy yet! IMO your car looks great Glen, that new trim should send it over the top!! Quote
Rock Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 IMO your car looks great Glen, that new trim should send it over the top!! Maybe in a couple years I can hold my head up high....someday I hope to go to a meet on the east or west coast. Quote
72jrfan88 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Agreed! I think you got a great color combo and a great car Glen! Quote
Canuck Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Woo hoo.....my new lower moldings showed up today. I can't believe how much I have spent on this car. Some day my car may be as nice as some of your guys cars, I am not worthy yet! Your car looks great! Photos hide a lot of flaws on our cars too. You have a first gen, that makes you worthy of the club. Quote
LostnFound Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Its a great looking car Glen and wouldn't look out of place at any of the meets, shows and cruise nights. Quote
Rock Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I do appreciate it guys. When I look at some of the cars here I can't help but feel envious of the treasures you guys have. Especially the SS guys...the pride you guys must have! Priceless IMO...never let them go. One day I will attend a meeting but that is for a later date...when I feel I won't be embarrassed. It's a work in progress and slowly but surely the puzzle starts to come together. Quote
LostnFound Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 My car is far from perfect with a 30 year old paint job but I show it anyway Quote
Canuck Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Don't let how you feel about your car stop you from attending a meet. Lots of guys bring cars that are not restored or in progress to the meets. I've seen cars with primer, cars with rust, cars with torn interior at the meets and they are every bit as welcome at the meets as cars that are restored. The meets are not about the cars, they are about the great people in this club. The cars just brought us together. Quote
cbolt Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Your car looks great, nothing to be embarrassed about. I have seen lots of cars that look good in one area, terrible in another, and at shows with people making positive comments. Heck my car got an award for best interior with a hole in the headliner! Oh by the way, the hole is still there today, and several other flaws (The patch panels jump right out at ya) but it still shows very well and I get lots of comments. I hope to see your car in person one day because I am pretty sure you are harder on it that the rest of us will be.... that's how I am as well. Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 once you attend a meet, the cars really don't matter! I know it's hard to believe, but ask anyone who has attended a meet! you meet these people for the first time, and it's like seeing old friends you haven't seen in years, almost like you've known each other all your life come to a meet without your monte, and I'm willing to bet someone will invite to to ride with them to the show, that's how it's been to every meet I've been too Quote
Leghome Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I'm with Sam on that. Last year was the first time I had met Capri and Greg. I took Greg to a cruise in north of Somerset KY and by the time we got back to the motel we had already made plans for most of the day that was left much to Capri's chagrin. It involved a couple of cases of water we took back to the motel. Quote
72jrfan88 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I am very interested in attending a meet at some point as well. All I here is tons of positive things about the people and activities and enjoyable beverage consumption. Hope to get the custom out to one someday! Quote

Leghome Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Finished stripping the passenger bucket seat to the bare springs. They sure did use a whole kittenkaboodle of hog rings. Hog rings on the burlap, hog rings on the foam and then the seat coverings. I do not think I am ready to start on the drivers seat as of yet in case I need to take it somewhere or just move it around in the garage. The kit for all of the plastic rollers and guides for the quarter windows is supposed to be here today. My hand is tired of trying to cut those danged hog rings so come on mailman. Quote
Rob Peters Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 this year's meet would be ideal!!!! Sam is right. Great time to meet a lot of members at this years meet. Rob Quote
footballubet Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 My first meet I was without a car. Had such a good time I knew the next one I would have the car with me. As everyone said, the meets are about the people and the cars are a bonus! If you go to a meet you'll be hooked. Quote
Rock Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Started it up and thought about all the things I want to get done. 1 Quote
Malyc Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Ordered up the last few parts I need to get the engine together. Soon! Quote
monte70car Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Benn pricing the third member for the 72 so I can button up the rear end. Got my eyes set on a Moser 9" third member with 3.89 gears and a truetrac Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 finished up the interior today (except for that wire hanging down) glass gets installed tomorrow Quote
