RobertKB Posted May 3, 2018 Report Posted May 3, 2018 Great project and you are moving ahead quickly. Please keep us updated on a regular basis because this is already really interesting. Looking forward to seeing the new roof in place. I mentioned in an earlier thread on this project that I have always liked the '55-'56 Pontiacs! Quote
RobertKB Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 Very impressive!! You are moving ahead at a very rapid pace! I'm loving this thread. Quote
casper50 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Posted May 4, 2018 Thanks Robert. Some of these videos are 7 to 10 days old. Last one that I've done. I have to do another tonight. Quote
casper50 Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Posted May 5, 2018 Started grinding the rust off of the frame. Makes sandblasting much easier when all you have is a small blaster. 1 Quote

RobertKB Posted May 8, 2018 Report Posted May 8, 2018 Great videos. I enjoy the background music in many of them! Quote
casper50 Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Posted May 8, 2018 Some Pandora station songs. Half of the time I can't hear what they are playing. LOL Quote

casper50 Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Posted May 11, 2018 The frame and all that hangs on it have been blasted. Tonight some primer goes on. Quote

Never been replaced. Never could replace. Great old cat but I don't think she left with my tongue.......last time I checked. Please keep the updates coming as this is a great thread and you are doing interesting work! Quote
casper50 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Posted May 15, 2018 The next installment. The paint is drying slow. It's a little chilly up here still. Going to start the stove in the garage tonight and see if it will speed things up. Quote
casper50 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Posted May 20, 2018 had to rework the rotisserie. It would turn much easier if the the large round ends werent bent when I got them. Still saves crawling under the car. 1 Quote
casper50 Posted May 22, 2018 Author Report Posted May 22, 2018 Did some bodywork last night. https://youtu.be/D-4AHFRY7-M Quote
RobertKB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Posted May 23, 2018 You are making big headway. Some pretty serious damage caused by the tree. Way outta my skills and abilities. Hope you can get the damage repair to where you want it. Great videos! Quote
casper50 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Posted May 23, 2018 Things will slow down Robert when I get to the big money items. Will have to wait on saving the cash. Quote
