When I got to the shop I discovered that someone cut the air hose and just left it like that. That was a **** off, but I fixed it. I got the passenger side all undercoated ready for the quarter panel. Since it was pretty cold today I decided to just fit the quarter and weld it next week when the undercoating is dry.
I decided to weld nuts onto the broken studs on the bottom of the door post pieces I removed to fit the rockers.
I got them red hot then eased the rusty old studs out
Here they are all sandblasted too.

Yeh any info would be greatly appreciated, I was going to build one I found on line, but yours looks alot easier to lift the car from the ground. Shoot me a pm if you could, thanks

I joined the thread late. Nice job so far. I'm also restoring my 69 and am also getting parts from Golden Leaf. Good guys. I think we might be on the road about the same time. Look forward to the next update.

Man, great work!
I don't have the time, patience or willingness to part with all that money that you do.
I'm envious. You're gonna have a brand new car when you're finished. Again, great work, another one comes back to life!

I went to work on the car this weekend and this huge rocket engine thing was in the way. So I started to wheel the car over to the other side of the shop and 2 of the 6 air tires blew out on my rotisserie. I’ll have to put solid wheels on. I guess the car is just too heavy.
Since I couldn’t move the car safely I started stripping the hardware out of the doors. These are original. I may not even need door skins. Ill know more next weekend when I sandblast them

I went home to work on the car today. I brought the new fenders I bought last week. Here they are
The driver’s side is banged up and buckled a bit. I didn’t check it when I picked them up because I haven’t had an issue up to now.
Anyway I’ll see what my supplier will do for me during the week. It was a bit of a **** off.
So my brother said there might be a fender in the “old trailer” that he plans to scrap. So I pulled everything out.
There was a fender, a tail panel, 2 door skins, 3 bumpers, 2 trunk floor drop offs. 2 outer rockers and wait for it….. a cowl hood ALL GM new parts 20 years old but new GM parts.
Also found 2 consoles, 2 sets of seats, front and rear window and tons of hardware and chrome. WTF?
Here's the "old trailer"
He said I could take what ever I need. I take the 2 skins and the hood. I think I’ll blast the rest and prime them and store them.
That’ll be next weeks activities.
