Well a lot has happened since Aug.  I have gone to Physical Therapy and  my strength  is getting better.  I still cannot stand for more than ten mins.  But the car still needs to be worked on.  So I have moved it to a friend's house who is a master body man.  He has stripped the car of every piece that can be taken off.  We are now doing a complete restoration.


We took off the windscreen, both fenders, both doors, hood, and trunk.  Found out that the car had been hit in the rear end.  There was bronze work and an inch to two inches of filler.

Took all the filler out and straightened the rear end.  We will cut out the rear lower valance and install a new part from Victoria British.

Pulled both fenders and doors sanded and primed, then guide coated

Sanded and fixed any bad spots on the rear right fender.  Ready for priming.

You can see what forty years of covered up metal just rusted out underneath the filler.

Pulled the seats and stripped both floors and found more rust and holes too.

Found out about a product call Chassis Saver.  It is great.  It will stop the rust and coat the parts completely.

This was a lot of work and hard to get to.  I am not a small man.
