Well, after a few quick spring spins I decided to take a look at what I am dealing with. The thick bondo in the rear passenger long was a concern. After 30 minutes with a cutting disc I am at a stop. I knew the best case scenario would be outer long replacement, unfortunately it is not the case. I am ready to do all the work. I bought a fantastic Lincoln mig welder with a tank, stand, the whole nine yards. Over the past 6 months I re-arranged the garage, got two dedicated 30 amp circuits in, bought all the tools, for welding and metal work, monster compressor, air tools, I have parts for a nice dolley I designed. I have braces from another board member, manuals, read all the welding and metal fabrication books from our local library. Watched all the videos, read all the forum threads, memorized Restoration Design catalog.
It is an early numbers matching 1970 that starts, stops, drives. Interior is nice, targa top is mint, dashboard is perfect, lights work. Came with original manual, passenger foot rest, original spare with what looks like the original tire. Two coats of paint. Odometer shows 27k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Pictures below, comments are welcome. |

agree with mepstein, but I would not suggest learning to weld as you are repairing that car.
learn how to weld before you fix the car. |
