Thanks! Well we finally got outside and pulled every single part out thats left to see what we need to buy.



We went through everything and laid it all out and it really gave us some inspiration. I still need a lot of misc stuff. Here's a list.

Rear view mirror bracket--28.95
valve cover bolts--13.90
trunk opening seal--14.95
sunvisors, and hardware--87.30
outer door window felts--78.95
headlight housing LH--39.95
quarter window weatherstrip--18.95
dome light assembly--12.35
total--295.30

And this list does not include new rear shocks, headlights, and a bunch of misc stuff Im sure will come up during final assembly.

 

Before you buy the door felts let me know I have a complete set for standard door panels. They are from PUI. I will make you a good deal.

 

aluminum oxide or sandblast but must be 120 gt, dripping a car is not an option how do you get the chems out between overlapped metal.

 

wow, nice build! For a "Florida" car, I can't believe how much rust was on that car. My "Michigan" 68 didn't even have that much rust.

Bet you can't wait to drive it! BTW, love what you and Squid did with the AC and Heater hoses coming through the firewall. Very nice!

 

Man this car is georgous...makes me want to do one

 

Well florida is very wet a times with all the rain. It say in a garage with one guy for years. Then next guy bought it and it sat in the rain. As you can see it already had major bond in it and it was done very poorly in spots. So it was a rust bucket before the 2 previous owners. After that time, age, moisture, rain, and neglect will turn it bad over the years. I am building this baby to last.......till hopefully I kick and then someone else can take over.

 

Christmas at O's house today!!!. All is here except the rear view mirror support. Can't wait to to work this sat.

 

soda or walnut shell blasting will not remove rust, and you still need to provide an etch in the metal for primer adhesion. Find a good blaster 120 gt sand, aluminum oxide or slag

 

oh man and its only tuesday, how you gona sleep. lol. prudy new old parts.

 

I just love Christmas after Christmas! BTW, did you get the screws for your rear window seals? They are tiny tiny and I thought I bought new, but didn't and ended up throwing the old ones away. Reason I'm saying this, is because the end will eventually catch something and bend out while rolling the window down if you don't put a screw in the end. (I've already experienced this last weekend while adjusting the rear windows.

BTW, have fun adjusting your rear windows... Took me just over an hour to get them just right. :-)
