If you want to repair it correctly, the roof and gutters needs to be removed, repaired, cleaned up and reinstalled. I’m doing two roof jobs this year. I have noticed that western coastal 60’s roofs commonly rust like this. At least from what I...

The new schedule. My apologies for not making this earlier but it’s been busy at the shop. We could change these meetings to Saturday mornings or some other time/day. I’m not sure what is best for most people, so for now, it’s Friday at about 6...

I haven't touched it since you and I dropped the engine in, as you figured I'm sure. Probably be next year before we start it. :meh:

30 min after work each day. I was able to slowly get my fenders and hood painted.

Ummm, yes. I wasn’t going to mention the 1/4 ton setting that was almost bending the end of the arm. Haha! This is a restoration shop, we don’t have chains and stuff.

Finally. A few hours working on my own stuff. Engine installed. In 3 more years, maybe I will have it running. No, the strap didn't break, and yes I know that was a bad idea.

That would work too

Indeed. They are assets. But more then that they are friends. During this journey of building cruisers I meet these incredible talented and (almost always) extremely nice people. 🙂

Man, Spencer told me about this work... somehow missed the thread. Really amazing work! Also a very handy reference thread for deciphering some of the hidden areas on my Troopy that I should be spraying more fluid film into. Bravo Kelly and Spencer!

The remaining Dune colored parts are now done.

That is definitely what Dune Beige should look like. Great job.

Sanding and polishing is going well. Today we will have the hood, fenders, and doors on the body and all of those parts polished. Painting the rear doors, hard top sides and all the small parts today to complete all the paint.

My pigtails are included so you can install relays without cutting into the factory wires, but buyers need to figure out the wiring themselves. Its been tough for some, probably most, and it would be nice to point everyone in the direction of a...

Sorry you had problems. Can you send a picture? The horn bracket needs to be deleted completely, thats what I meant. Let me know if that would have made a difference.

You have to remove the horn bracket to attach it. Let me know if that would have worked.

Wet sanding the clear soon. A little test spot on the hood today.

It was more of a (jealous) statement. I didn’t realize you owned a body shop. Used to seeing folks painting in their garage with visqueen hanging everywhere. Super cool.

Not sure I understand the question

Oh yes

10:30 PM. Done

So Stoked!

Base coat. Waiting 30 min now before I can spray clear. I missed dinner and lunch.
