Build 1966 LV “Operation Yellow Submarine back on the road”

[Pics45]

Wow...what a great thread and motivation for my project. Thank you. I miss SLO....Poly Grad 94'.........I gotta pickup those 55 side mirrors from John down there. I sourced a pair of NOS rear tail light assemblies from him. Pricey---but worth it. This LV is added up quickly. Miss Grover Beach too...lived there for 2 years before tracking back home.....Retirement insight.....then lots of time for LV....

Well since Fritz sanded most of the driver side original paint off when he painted it yellow I made the decision to go all in on a paint job. This is such a clean damage free body! Teaser pic..

The final product should be nice. No I’m not going Red/white…

That quarter panel shot looks familiar (and nicely rust free).

 

[CRZR45]

Spa treatment going well

Wow....clean work. That exfoliation is looking quite nice. Shedding some layers. Looking like that skin needs to hydrate with some finish coat.....LOL. Very motivating. I keep sourcing my parts. Wow, no one told me LV's were a money pit---wait---didn't whitey say that.....Ha.

"Wow, no one told me LV's were a money pit?"
Worst kept secret in the world but people keep buying them?!?!?

 

[CRZR45]

Some more eye candy! They are expensive but such neat trucks.. It’s worth it in the end!

There’s a reason I constantly mention the LV insane asylum. I’v been a resident for 6 years with no end in sight for the black hole of money AND time I need to get mine back on the road.

They put me in the padded room….

Here is a calming color to look at in your padded room!

Damn that looks good bud

Good progress…keep the pics rolling out sir. We LOVE pictures.

 

[CRZR45]

hopefully color on in the next week or so.. then re assembly! I want to drive it!!! Roof is nice and straight.

 

[KT40]

Looks great!!
What’s up with the life size Lightening Mcqueen in the background?

 

[CRZR45]

My painters shop does cars and props for the movies etc… needless to say my Lv is in good hands!

 

[JLawson]

All I can think of is the Pepto Bismol commercial..... Although, It does highlight the classic LV lines very well!?

 

[Pics45]

Awesome pics. Good point JL....wish my lines were that clean. Maybe they will be after some rust repair. Heck, I say go all the way and be the first MARY KAY LV out there. Thanks for the motivation. Just picked up some more goodies at our local Swap.......Thanks Valley Hybrids....I'm pretty sure the search for LV goodies is endless.

@CRZR45 …the LV asylum requests some update pictures….please .

 

[NOSAJ]

Yep going through withdrawals! LV stuff has been quiet lately…

 

[onemanarmy]

lottery numbers musta hit!
