Pretty good shape id say! Looks like it did come from somewhere else besides the rust belt were in.. Good deal.

 

[ahmincha]

Well blasters running behind will not get back till next week

 

[flypaper]

i have a hood that came off that car.
the red paint on it was really thick
all the metal on the hood was in great shape
i can probably guess the rest of the car was that way also.

 

[ahmincha]

I have not started sanding any of the body parts. Only sent the shell for blasting. You wouldn't want to give me my hood back would you haha.

 

[flypaper]

it wasn't the hood that came on the car originally
it was a air grabber hood
and no you cannot have it back.. lol

the hood had gunmetal blue paint on it originally and
i would guess it was off a gtx because a 440 aircleaner was with it
not a 383 one....
i have spent a fortune on missing hardware,nuts,studs and bolts for it.

 

[ahmincha]

Yeah my time for spending on all the little things is coming. But I am no body man so what I liked about this car is it is fairly clean. I enjoy mechanical work so here I go, I'm in no hurry so I figure I can be a little choosy on things it needs and hopefully a bargain lol

 

[Ron 73]

Patience is a virtual. and a big plus doin these cars, Taking your time, finding deals, being picky in most cases, all a good thing! Good luck.

 

[ahmincha]

Well got it back from blaster on sat.Here is some pictures

 

[wahya]

Wish mine looked that good to start with.

 

[ahmincha]

Anyone know how i can get the roof supports to actually support the roof

 

[Ron 73]

Im sure someone here can help with the supports.. I have to say you really are going to town on this.. Its in better shape then i suspected. I found a few pictures of your car from the guy i told you about, Not sure right off how many, as there on my computer at my desk and im not on it right now but if you want what i have for your records, Just let me know... Good luck, it is looking good!

 

[ahmincha]

Thanks yes that would be cool when you get a chance

 

[SureGrip]

Thanks yes that would be cool when you get a chance

If you don't mind my asking, about what did it run you to have the body blasted and sealed?

That's a pretty clean machine.

 

[ahmincha]

$800.00 blasted and epoxy primed Place is called newbury sand blasting good dude

 

[Ron 73]

Do you want these in a email? You will need to PM a address, There is approx 10-12 pictures... Two many for one PM...

 

[ahmincha]

Well Its been awhile since I have done anything to the car. But now with the weather change its time to start working on it. I am going to start with the suspension parts sandblasting and painting was wondering best paint to use spray cans good enough or not

 

[moparmarks]

I have alot of sheet metal for these cars. Looks like you can get away with patches in most of those areas. I have the cowl drain area patch if you don't want to change the whole cowl plate, which I have as well.

 

[Wookie316]

Great looking car. Keep the updates coming.

 

[dangina]

typical areas for rust - now on to the fun part!

 

[Ron 73]

Glad to see you back with it! Or at it
