done it quite a few times on my lonesome

is easier with 2 though

more than anything i didn't feel like painting it, but because i'm a knuckle head glutten for punishment

i thought paint it green flake and continue it onto scallops on the roof

There's nothing 'knuckle headed' about Green flaked scallops, Mick!

Mine's got a light dusting of fine green pearl on it (like the rest of the body will get!

)

GO the KUSTOMZ!

Spent the last couple 'o' day's (between work& rain

) polishing & painting the finned alloy rocker cover I've had

...all I have to do now is clean up the engine bay and get it ready for paint (I'll do it when I remove the front guards for small rust repair this weekend)...

Tempting fate with that rocker cover

YEP...I was spot on with guessing YOUR reply Pete!!

Better hope it'll last the trip next year.

Thought I'd start the New Year off with getting to work on the sedan.

So it was off with the guards bumper grill etc and get stuck into the much needed rust repair..I was happily surprised to find less rust than I had anticipated & much more steel to work off (especially the drivers side sill) thought I was up for more work than I actually need to do

.
Just stripped the car down today and started to clean up the spots ready for cutting & welding.

can't wait to see this when it's done, are you still gonna do the web grille?
Hopefully mine will look like that soon (panels off for repairs and paint)
What an exciting year! lol

Just keep your WD40 handy, Jimmy

the'res a ton of 3/8th bolts to undo

Yeah the web grill is still on the cards but won't be finished for the respray..looks like it'll get a mesh grill with cupboard door knobs (very 50's!

), as the web grill will take a month of Sundays!:shock:

It's still not finished yet, Blacky...but this is what it used to look like when we moved in two years ago

Dunno if it's a weird fascination or not but I love seeing pics of old farm sheds and old farm houses etc

.

They just oooze history and stories of other times held within their walls.

And nothing better than looking at pics of old "barn stored" cars hidden in old farm sheds

Should start a new thread on old sheds and their cars 'eh

Yep, not fussed on dirt floor repairs and have a done a few over the years meself

even concrete floor repairs are a near thing of the past with my new hoist

And was also wondering what a WOOFTO is Scotty........... not a sexuality statement is it??
