    Work completed week ending 4-3-05
    « on: April 03, 2005 - 11:53:19 AM »
    I removed my broken drivers side door handle and installed a slightly less crappy non-broken one.  Hey, at least I can open my door now. :dontknow:
    Also installed a rally mirror to see how it looks, but for some reason it doesn't look like one from an e-body.
    Since I got my new camera I took some other miscellaneous pics of the car.  By the way... Is it good when your carpet is the only thing holding your drivers seat in the car???    :'(

    Well, any progress is good progress.  That mirror has me trying to think of mine, but I cannot remember it enough to determine if you do or don't have the correct one.  I'd say you could always look at some of the other E-bodies here and determine that.  As for the floor pan, that does look nasty, but just wait until you stick some new metal in there.  It'll look :drool:.

    Progress is progress.  :thumbs: The mirror looks like it's for a 71-74 E-body, but I would have to see other angles to be sure. It looks good though.

    Mike and Nick, the progress you guys are doing is looking sweet!!! :drool: :grinyes:  I can't wait to get back home and get back to that little thing we call progress.  I have decided to buy an at home powder coating system so I can get my smaller front suspension components blasted and powder coated gloss black. :drool: :thumbs:

    Yeah, I can't wait to get back to the project.  The kit's just $130.00, so I may as well buy it cause that would probably be what it'd cost to have them powder coated.  I figure if I buy this, I can use it on future projects and on a lot of the parts I have for my '73. :thumbs:
