Mini Christmas in July! My door catch screws, e-brake handle pin, and e-brake pivot plat arrived today. This weekend I will weld in the pivot plate and the seat belt mounting points. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Also starting to think about wheel options. I want polished 2.0L Fuchs. Trying to maybe sell or trade(with cash too) my original sport wheels with the chrome trim ring. So if you have 4 lug alloys your willing to possibly part with, tell me.

It's the footrest. I took mine off when I removed all the rotten carpeting, and I've been wondering if people keep them or not.

Finally sucked it up and ordered my plasti dip. I went for the cheapest gallons I could buy, for this is only to protect the car. It should come in sometime this week. This is the color I'm aiming for;

The plasti dip arrived Friday! I'm in the process of building a booth(pics to come this week). I've been prepping the body for a while and it's about time to dip it.

I'm interested in seeing how your dipping comes out! I'm thinking about doing a plastidip paint scheme myself...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Similar path here. My Dad bought a 56 Ford (292 V8) that needed a rebuild and gave it to me along with a "hard backed" Chilton Repair manual. Then said if you can get it running it's yours. I was 13 and determined so I had it running in < a year. He thought it would keep me busy until I was old enough to drive. He spent the next 2 years chalking the tires every time he left. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) It's a great skill set to have in your "chest" and can become a hobby that you work on at home. And those are the best kind.

Alright. It's been a long time since I posted. The guy who will do a little metal work was going to do it at the beginning if the summer but got caught up in work(he owns a farm). Since I was in no rush I was fine with that. That held up the process a bit. I focused on making some cabbage so I can finish this thing up this winter.

Decided to go ahead and dip it before it got cold. It is far from perfect but not bad for protection until I can afford a real paint job.

It is black, but is drying like a dark charcoal. I think it is the gloss.

Update: she survived the long hard winter in her coat of Plastidip. Today I peeled it off and sent it out to paint. I have accumulated most of the part I needed to finish. We have to be out of our house by the end of the summer, so I need a buyer by then, the car will be done in the next month or two.

Thanks,
Finn

Yes, it's the foot rest so the passenger has a flat place to put their feet. The piece of wood in it is a access panel to the EGR counter.

Alright, time for some excuses for not working on the car: We have been in the moving for the past year and are finally settled. Now I have a nice place to work on it and being part of this wonderful Build-Off hopefully will get me going again. Exited to share the process!! Let the fun begin!!

October update! Alright so haven't been on the world posting a whole lot, working on the car-right? No school and sports. I have made good progress though. Started on an small engine tune up (point, plugs, wires, condenser...) part way through I stated the r and had gas poring out all over I'm lucky nothing caught fire because it was running right down the exhaust. Found that it was the rubber hoses that go from the rail to the injector, they looked like crap, dug a little further, pulled out the injectors, going to clean those up. I considered getting new injectors because the seal rings looked like this and who knows how old they are, I figured I'd try new seals first-good decision? The injector didn't look to bad though. Bought new rubber line to go from the fuel rail to the injector also. That's about it I think, I'll try to post at least once a week.
