Pugsy, looks good with a little color on there! Hopefully I'm not too far behind you. :D


Thanks Robert.

I got the floor in and hit with epoxy as well.

Very nice, good to see primer I bet-seems like you're taking big steps now compared to all the metal work that takes so long.
 
Nice headers, most people will never have any ideah how much time and work it takes to put these things back together.

Thanks. I'm sure I'll hit 10,000 hours, maybe more by the time I'm done.
 
Pugsy, been watching some of your progress lately. Very impressive, wish i had skills like that, anyway Happy Birthday my friend and enjoy your day.

Pffffft. They do it on television in an hour.
 
But according to all the "car builder shows" they can do it in 5 days. My Ass.

Those cars are what I call 30 yard cars. That's it. Anything closer than that and I need a note pad and TWO pens to write down all the discrepancies.

Looks like you tapped off the seams before the seam sealer.

I love attention to detail like that. Separates you into a very small group of people who take true pride in their work.

The time to tape came back for sure. It went real quick.
 
Damn computers always lying, it was in the bottom print saying it was your b-day, well happy late or early one anywayFind a Ice cold one and enjoy it, b-day or not. Dont know what your weathers been like there but it has been in the 3 digits here in southern Oregon.

And here I was complaining about our "hot" 75-80 degrees.
 
Well, how about that? Five years gone by just like that. The old house has been knocked down, a new two story house stands in it's place and I pushed the Mopar back into the garage.

Hopefully, I'll remember to keep the updates coming. I've done a bit in the last month. It's slow getting back into the groove, but I'm starting to feel it.....

Starting back with the cowl to fender attachments. I had welded new flanges on the fenders about ten years ago. Of course, I had no clue back then as I've never built a rod or made custom shaping at the time. They were nowhere close so I cut them off and made matching new patches.

Pics.......
