dezeldoc Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Well here it is first time out since 1973! headed to my kids wedding which we rushed the heck out of it to make, but unfortunately wasn't able to make it to paint just ran out of time. The paint shop mixed me up some poly primer that matched the color it is going almost right on the money. We were cleaning the interior the morning of the wedding! Now to redo some of the quickie things we did and finish it right and get the paint on it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belvedere666 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 That grille!!!!! Did you have to weld in a lip or is that the original opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezeldoc Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 That is a lot of mods on the grill opening and grill. The grill is actually a bumper over rider that i cut n welded. we have about 25 hours in the opening and i still have to reshape the tin behind it to direct the air flow through the radiator. Then on the splash pan have about another 10 hours in that. I am thinking i have about another 60 hours till it is ready for final primmer. Then i need to rethink the hood lady mount kinda looks like i just threw it on their which i did! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Looks good for now......there seems to always be additional work needed when making modifications. Glad it's out and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezeldoc Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Yes it is Bob, been a long time coming. I actually pulled the door latches out and am going to put stronger solenoids in them and connect the trunk one also along with a pull handle on the doors as the wife don't like the button. I am gonna try and make it out to the Gene Winfield show this Saturday if i get the latches done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
