I need to get the rest0. thread going again. ya. so... I shouldn't be left alone with a small sharp flat blade screwdriver and a pointy hammer.
1973 cuda 340. Originally Burnt autumn bronze, Black gut, White side stripe, auto. Console. Has build sheet no tag.
bought with the body about as you see it. Around 7 yrs. ago. With a 340 done up,4 speed,3;91's lot's of bells/whistles. 15K$ at the top of the bubble. It's all i could afford. Didn't know much then, And found CC.c afterwards. Too bad, I shoulda' bought a different car, But ended up here...
RMS alerkation, Street lynx 4 link, Baer brakes,5 speed, new RH r frame rail, RH r floor patch. trunk drop offs. Lot's of work, It's a way of life now. Full shop. Did a black 69 dodge charger (quarters,lead, the whole deal... and 75 duster (twice) getting ready for this. And now it's begun. I was prepared for: Now get ready...
both quarters
both door skins
both fenders
and both valances... some inner rocker stuff, scabs on both outer wheelhouses until...
today when i found out it was roof skin and drip edge too... I'm still choking it down...
I knew it was skinned and the doors bumped out. The fools had just pop riveted them on, I pulled the one off like a zipper. Maybe 2 hrs. Kinda' weird. back when this was done they didn't have AMD. so I count my blessings. And get ready to place a big order.
At this time it's hard to think straight. sure, Glass, interior, dash, roll bar, new frame connectors, shave and re-du the engine bay, shave markers, maybe handles. all new wiring throughout. I knew it was all coming... am i starting to foam at the mouth? My head hurts. gonna need sum therapy. got good spot weld cutters though... Bet i strip that roof off in a couple of days. pissed. depressed. excited. perpetually broke. the war has begun. rust is dead.
so... (ill post up all the pix u want) with one quarter off... can I do both quarters and the roof at the same time? Car is on wheels.
oh whatever... I'll be in the restoration section....
