AggieZ Posted May 17, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2008 Howdy, Its been a while since I've posted so I'm here to update the project. :classic: The car is completely tore down. The parts from MSA are comming in. MSA is great. I wanted to post pictures, but I dont know how. Anyhow, This car is better than I expected structurally. It has never taken any damage to the shell. There is only surface rust, if any, from the seats back. The foorboards have to be replaced. I'm shocked. The engine and head are good. I have a bet with my boss that it will be done by August 15. I think he is going to buy me a steak dinner. AggieZ p.s. As much work as it has been so far, I've enjoyed every minute of it!

AggieZ Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted August 16, 2008 I have not even gotten close to starting the re-construction. I underestimated the Texas heat. The heat basically shut down my restoration. (and the humidity.... Anyway, here's what I found under my battery tray. Since I will be doing the welding, my thought is to cut out part of the front right fender (scrap because of rust around the edges) that will be the same basic shape and weld it onto place. I already have an original battery tray to weld in place. Thoughts?
