Update, finally... Well, It's been a couple of months since my last update on the Bayou Bird project. Work has taken over all of my time & I've been swamped with getting a huge water plant upgrade installed at the plant where I work. Plus, several people have recently transferred or left and...

Nice 68 vert! The car is looking great! Your body shop friend looks like he does a good job. Braced up the convertible like it needed for panel replacement work. I have a 68 RR that's originally GG1 in color and I think the dark green metallic look good on these cars. Nice car! Greg

Nice 68 RR Very nice 68 Roadrunner & welcome to the site! I am kinda partial to 68 RR's since I'm working on restoring one myself. Great work you're doing on the car! Took me a while to go thru your photobook album, but it was great stuff. BTW, where did you get the cosmoline paint for the...

Dust Protection Yes, Donny, I know what you're talking about about regarding breathing this crap. Lead, zinc, cadmium, cobalt, etc. were all in the paints used "way back" then. I used a 3M damn good respirator rubber facepiece w/ particulate/vapor cartridges that I get fit tested on annually...

It depends... I haven't yet tackled a rusted up torsion bar member. I've seen someone use the caps on this site, I think. It fits over the cross member outer area outboard of the T-bar sockets, I think. In the photo's of the repair, they also sectioned out & replaced areas of the original...

Thanks++ Appreciate the compliments, roadrunnerman & Swede! Yea, both my wife & daughter think I'm crazy. Especially when I had the "Dirt Factory" in production! Here's a picture she snapped after a grit blast session! I tried wearing an old Bullard helmet someone gave me years ago, but...

Doors #6 A few more on the doors... Shot some of the rattle-can chrome paint on the instrument bezel I had that was already painted w/ silver paint. Yea, from what I can tell, it will still probably look cheezy. I'll take a look at it tomorrow to see if it looks better after...

Doors #5 More pic's of the doors... A few more following... Greg
