omg, that metallic green with silver stripes looks just like the one I had when i was 16!!! I really miss my car! When I traded it in in 1979, it was bought by a used car lot in Boonville, NC and sold to someone in West Virginia!! today my husband put an electric fuel pump on out car as it kep vapor locking every time we drove it anywhere and would refuse to start after acting like it flooded out!!
Walked past it with its hood up in the garage for 57th time since it's been in there, patiently waiting for me to get the cam kit and header kit ordered, and GET GOING WITH THE PROJECT! I promised I would as I turned out the light.
Bought a center console from eBay (the one with all the holes drilled in it, in case anybody was looking). Also bid on some decent-looking hood hinges (my left one was broken).
I pulled motor and tranny over the Thanksgiving holiday. The car is a bare shell except suspension. Need to keep it a roller for now. Preasure washing it this weekend.
Put the last of the filler in the trunk. Now time to sand it down in preparation for Spectrum application. Once that is ready, will finish strip down of interior and shoot trunk and interior floorboards.
I finished my roof. I want to punch the guy on the assembly line that installed my original roof drip rails, he did a horrible job on the original holes and I fought with the passenger window for hours drilling new holes to get the alignment to work. Finally after over a month the project is done.
I spent the last two days putting the rear axle back on the new springs. Now, I'm reassembling the rear drums. Bolted the axles in and installed the restored rear cyliinders. Ordered more parts from the big parts store. Found a source for OEM bolts locally, as the bolts for the rear sway bar attachment to the frame were way too rusted...
Pulled engine apart today. Bearings shot, rings shot and cam flat. Bact to the drawing board. Hope to have it back together for Fla. if mid February. Hope Hope.
