Getting closer!!
I finally finished filling the sunroof hole. It is not perfect, but I am extremely satisfied of the outcome. This was my first foray doing fiberglass work. Unless you count my botched attempt to fix my surfboard tail and fin from smashing into rocks in Satellite Beach, Florida when I was 16.
The top repair also included fixing a rusted rain gutter corner and some damage due to an impact to the left side panel to the top. If I had the funds, I would of bought the whole rain gutter from CCOT.
Looks great - well done!! Thanks for the update.
Got it nice and clean
New tire and wheels, fixed all the light. Tore the wiper motor apart and fixed, new mirrors, new Bezel.
Put bags on mine few years ago and love them. Got them to level the sag but found out they are great for when I pull my tubby trailer.
Yep. Small investment. Big results

Installing AC in a 64 with the original engine.
Talk about fabricating. There are no mounting features on a early 1f. No lift hook holes, no alt bracket holes.
Had to heavily modify the provided bracket, and created (after 2 tries) an additional bracket that uses the thermostat mounting bolts to anchor it, then it wraps around the passenger side of the head and provides a face for two 10mm nuts that are welded on.
Hard to describe...

But the ac is so nice. Worth all the effort for sure.
can you post a few more shots like the front and passenger side angles ?
this is SOLID TECH !
Nice my fellow Greek friend
Got my mirrors so they sort of stay where I adjust them to, got several body gaskets replaced- Kick vents, hood hinge gaskets- and got a quote on a new exhaust system. Going to try to get the carb adjusted this weekend, if I can find enough information on the carb. (Warn carb with an electronic choke- haven't found a model number but I have found a serial number). Going to try contacting Warn tomorrow.
Weber carb? or Warn carb?

Back to driving it daily, stopped for some pizza and beer.
I respect your journey.

Efharisto!!! My friend!!
Here's a shot from above.
Forgive my booger tack welds...
This should give you an idea of how the bracket works. There's also support coming up from the bottom so there's no real weight pulling down on it.
Oh.. and you will really like my custom one of a kind knob set I'm putting together for this AC unit. All matching to the OEM style. Fan, Temp, Heat, and Defrost.
Here's a shot of the HEAT knob in the smaller "WIPER" style. Two are rotary, (Temp and Fan) the other two are pull.

using the same techniques , and moderns materials application approach as my Illuminated Pull switch , back lit polycarbonate
knobs faces , i was pleased to be able to transform the ravages of age and time dingy & yucky to simply Bliss once again ........
Stupid mistake on my part. Weber carb. Thanks for pointing that out.
