You should always wear pants to hide the White Canadian Legs.....and to protect them

Get going on them bucket seats.....it's not good to store them folded as you have them.

Looking good

Are you not painting the entire car?

Nope, I have never planned to paint the car.

It was painted (all) in the early 70’s.

Only the jams etc are original paint.

I think my inner fender plates are done:-)

I started mounting up the bumper brackets.

I started restoring the fan, huge ugly defects... the paint doesn’t like the blades... I will have to try again...

Big News: I have a small but mighty army visiting next weekend to install, align, adjust, polish, prep, eat steaks, repeat. Nick Morocco and Al Corporon have generously agreed to help me out!! I have refocused my time to buy clips,
Fasteners, bits and bites I need to try to minimize any waiting/thinking/delays.

I put in orders to Inline Tube and Fusicks.

I bought head light bezels... they look better than mine.

I did a few time consuming items today, help is OTW next weekend so I want to have as many restored prepared parts to install as possible. Removed the old mirrors, removed the exhaust manifolds (I stuck them on for the Dyno and never pulled them off for resto) bumpers, several items cooking in Evaporust

I am trying to go in a proper order but that is hard with zero experience so best to just work from front to back, bottom to top :-)

Assuming it has/had a fan clutch - probably getting some fish eyes due to silicone leaking from the fan clutch over the years. Fairly common restoration issue if I recall. May take a couple/several coats of paint with sanding in between to smooth out the fish eyes.

I think so, I media blasted it, lightly, lightly, then washed it in solvent, then washed it in Acetone.... and expected no residue. (Looks like huge fish eye craters)

Second coat of paint looks much better... may sand or may start over, or maybe it will be ok as is. TBD.
