Convertile Help in CA
« on: March 23, 2011 - 03:56:48 PM »
Howdy Folks,

Once again I call out to the wealth of fellow board members that might be able to help me a bit. Thanks to Shelbydogg, way out in St. Louis, I've been able to get many of the measurements I need to fabricate the parts unsalvageable from my severely rusted convertible donor. Unfortunately, there are a few parts I need to see in person to make templates from so I can finish them up for fabrication. I am missing sooooo much stuff, including my top frame and rear trim that it has been difficult to get things into a state where I am ready to commit to welding them together.

The help? I was wondering if there was anyone near Central or "Northern" Southern California (Venture, Santa Barbara and North) or "Southern" Northern California that might have a 70-71 convertible with an exposed inner structure at the moment that wouldn't mind letting me drop by with my ruler, camera and cardboard so I can get this right. I would be happy to take the person out to lunch or buy them a drink, pert near anything in order to get this project closer to "done".

PM me or reply here and let me know. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Geoff
