Builds Previously known as the 'One Week Resto' now Pathetically keeping it alive... 500k

yes the rims were white...i like the look better...however...the black hides the rust better....and is easyer to touch up LOL

the kids have been helping me garden as well ... got 3 yds of stone ... with their help its only half in the garden where it suposed to be... the rest is all over the driveway now

I really got to get them to listen better

for the interior light...i used a dome light from a hardtop...didnt want to drill into the oem bows...sooo...i made a simple bracket to hold the light

 

[JohnnyC]

and mounted ...now the kids can see where they are going...maybe they'll stop stepping on the rear heater

That sounds familiar.

BTW thanks Big Daddy for the light...the kiddies will be happy

It's either the rear heater or the center console. Take your pick. It's the only way from the back to the front where all the action is.

I know you are not taking votes, but I like your 40 with the white wheels the best!

NICE WORK MAN!!! Nice to see the old girl back to 'er former glory like when I met you outside Molly's wayy back when! I sent you a PM awhile ago, never heard back..did you get it? I wanted to get together soon, when getting around our respective family obligations, etc..I WILL see you soon with my red 40..I've still got it. I'm a clutch fork/flywheel cut away from putting the trans back in and running it once again. Next time around, I buy one with the F/2F engine!!!

That really is some killer work you've done there...Hats off!

[JohnnyC]
