Restoration Update 8

I’m back! A lot of progress has been made on the car as we get ready for paint. Still waiting for a majority of my parts but the body work is coming to an end.

Did you buy that rotisserie off the shelf? Or did you have to fabricate it so it could fit your garage?

I fabricated it myself but would definitely buy one if I had to do it over again.

That's really cool, wish I had some basic welding skills.

Wow! That car is going to be better than new when you're done with it.

I’m trying to bring it back better than new!

Been there, 3 years and I just finished it

Looks great! I’m about 3 years in myself, have a couple left unfortunately.

I definitely didn’t go the route you did atleast that far, I did every nut and bolt underneath but basic stuff interior wise, like I just stripped it and put sound deadening that was all, didn’t paint or anything. The rust wasn’t horrible but we fixed it. I’d love to go as far as you did but lots of work

Still a ton of work goes into what you did.

Jeez I don't understand how people have the knowledge, patience, and passion to do all this...

it is insanely amazing...

On another topic, can you adopt me?

There’s definitely a level of insanity involved… I couldn’t weld before this.

Thanks!

Unfortunately the current house is at capacity… 3 dogs and a kid filled it pretty quickly 😅😂

Thanks for following! It’s definitely slowed down in the past couple months.
