Bump Still available... Charles

Thanks Charles

I bought this car to do with my oldest son and he has decided he doesn't want to finish the car. It is not something he enjoys. I have decided that I am not going to finish it without him. I have a lot of other projects myself. I would like to sell the whole project before I consider parting it...

I have used Broadway titles before. I had no issues using them except for the fee it is fairly straight forward, but if I remember correctly it took 4-6 weeks or so. Do you have the car somewhere safe while you get this sorted out? Charles

Did we ever figure out what I need to do to move forward? Brackets, bumper, etc.. I was thinking I would work on it this weekend... Thanks, Charles

Scott, No, we didn't have a bumper when we bought the car. I bought the bumper online and it was damaged by the shipper. Insurance covered it. Do the bumper brackets for the 73 space the bumper back the 1" or so we need? Jeff, I believe we have the filler panel we took off the car. The...

Sorry, should have posted up some pics to help earlier 73 fastback Vin# 3F05H2147## Wil's car has this rubber finisher that mounts into the corner of the quarter panel and then the quarter panel extension bolts on over it. When we try to add the bumper the bumper hits the small rubber...

Alright I finally got everything we needed purchsed and pulled together, started mocking up the taillight panel. Went to put the bumper on and it hits the little molded pieces a good ways before it meets the taillight panel. Are there supposed to be spacers between the bumper and the taillight...

Thanks Scott, I will slide it up and check all the details. Thanks for the reply, Charles

I have a dilemma, I have the trunk floor pretty well in and all the welds ground down. I have been working on the taillight panel. I measured how the old panel fit. Dim. from center filler neck hole to top point of bumper cutout on each qtr. 33 3/8"; dim. from each taillight hole straight over...

I was still wondering if those little notches are supposed to be on either side of the trunk? Thanks, Charles

Tnfastbk, Give us a shout if you get close by. We are only about 25 minutes from G'ville. Come by and we will give you a tour of the shop and that brew I owe you. Always on tap and always cold...:P Charles

Made some progress last weekend. My son and I added the spare tire loop on top of the trunk floor and the support that holds the front of the tank to the bottom of the floor. We laid out where the floor panel ran with the frame rails from underneath by outlining with a sharpie. I then marked...

Jay, If you need the dimension sheet that Scott uses for frame alignment, PM me your email and I will forward it on to you... Charles

I need to find a high quality car cover. I have a car that will be coming out of the bodyshop. I don't have anywhere inside to keep it, so I need to get a high quality rain proof car cover. Griots Garage has some nice covers but they start at $169 and go to $299. I wanted to try to get some...
