Okay! So finally got the PS door together after a bunch of dicking around. The latch cut was too small, the stud holes for the interior door handle completely missing... so just a pain in the ass and i'm too lazy to send shit back. So some griding, drilling and filing... boom! Finally finished...
Hey, Mike. Yeah the quarters were actually in real good condition. That made me happy. And the roof too was pretty much dent free. :D I couldn't imagine having to deal with the roof, too!!
^^thanks, adkmach. :) I'm happy with what was found under the paint. Not nearly as bad as I imagined. WHEW!
Started putting parts back in the new DS door yesterday. No new parts went back in the door. the regulator looks like it was replaced w/in the last 10 years and all the other parts are...
omg that was painful getting the pics to upload... anyway...
windshield and rear glass removed and she's pressure washed.
rust on the rear pillar that will get patched. there is also some patching that will get done on above and below the LS door hinges.
L and R quarter panels after...
lol bought a bit of sheet metal for the car! ;)
I don't have a plan for the 302. i don't have a vehicle or want a vehicle to put it in. trying to talk a friend into buying it so he can drop it in his dad's 67 mustang.
and yep, the big block will fit and be reinforced so it doesn't fly out...
i went shopping.... hehehe
And she's back down to a different shop for paint. this guy has been much better to deal with than the first shop. I think I have all the sheet metal (save for the trunk) needed either down to him already or ordered it today.
Replacing the fenders, doors & trunk...
