The bodywork continues…
It’s been awhile since my last update, but I’ve been chipping away at my ‘67.
I decided repairing my original nose was beyond my skill set, so I picked up a replacement from MVP. I’m very happy with the fit and quality. There is a serial number stamped on my original nose that I plan to cut out and weld onto the repro. Other than that, I’ll keep it moving.
Next on my punch list was to repair the rear 1/4 window sills. Both sides are pretty rusty with heavy pitting that created tiny pinholes. Dan Quigley (RIP) was kind enough to cut some sheet metal from a parts car he had listed in the classifieds.
The pitting on the passenger side. Drivers side was just as bad.
New metal tacked in. I did finish it up, but did not take a photo.
I’m pretty excited with the way things are going. I’m waiting on Ireland Engineering to ship my pig cheeks, but once they arrive I think it will be the motivation I need to get in the garage more often.
