That's purdy.

I see he's got the same export brace that we put in this mach 1.

Dave, those rubber mats are great.

My guys use "wellness mats" for kneeling stuff. Not cheap, but...............

You know !

I bought some rubber'ish mats from Fleet Farm to kneel on for working on my remodel. I liked them so much I bought some more for the weight bench in the basement. They're great and pretty cheap. $60 for a 6x8' "pad" of them.

Harbor Freight has those interlocking standing pads for the floor pretty cheap. I use them in front of my lathe and work bench and they really save my back and feet. Watch for one of their sales and they are even cheaper.

I like the mats but it would be difficult bacause I'm always on my feet but never in one spot for very long. I think maybe a couple breaks throughout the day would be a good idea and I'm trying some new orthopedic inserts, something pam picked uo yesterday. Just cheap Dr shoes (spelling?).

So far they are helping though.


The stang is getting a good sand scrubbing.

Beautiful work Dave! wouldn't it have been easier to just buy the metal and cut out and build a new frame and body? Seem's like your doing that already.. Great work!

The old junker China built blaster is on its way out. The new Texas blaster arrived today just in time as the blast hose blew out on old whitey.

Dave,

The sure cure for Monkey Foot is white crepe soles, like the type found on Redwing boots.

If you're wearing running shoes to stand on concrete - stop doing that.

Is that the same kind that come in danner boots? The white plastic with little holes in it?

.Heel pain?
Sounds like plantar fascitis to me.
I struggled with it for more than a year.

Apparently Danner calls it a "Cristy" sole:


Red Wing crepe sole:


Both soles are softer rubber as opposed to the hard vibram-type soles of hunting most hunting boots, and available in most any style boot.

Alright, thanks.

Damn, they sure are ugly. lol!

But I can hardly walk today, I have to do something and it's not going to be a break form work. I have way too much to do.



I googled that, sounds exactly right.

it came on with this last pair of boots I purchased. I picked them up locally, a wellington style by wolverine. It was the best I could do brand wise locally without size ordering blind on the internet.

I wanted the wellington style because I wanted easy to kick off if I walk from the shop to the house for lunch.

I think those boots are evil, pure pain delivering evil.

I've never had trouble with my feet before. I've wore everything from Gov issue combat boots to cowboy boots, converse all stars, several pair of danners and other work/hunting boots. Stood on concrete for the last 20+ years and all of the sudden it's a problem at the same time I buy these wolverine boots.

Go barefoot Dave.

Rubber mats are a god send when spending all day on concrete. Good boots as well.

FWIW- my bro swears by Redwings. I've heard lots of praise for Keens as well. When I wear work boots it's usually Xtra Tufs. Doubt they'd fit your need.

Oh yeah....the car looks amazing!

*Future conversation*

"Anybody know of a good car resto guy?"

"Chiit...ain't no one better en 'ol barefoot dave"

I think you mean bear foot.

Go to a 'Boot store' and tell them you walk on concrete 'all day - every day'. They have boots, like the ones mentioned above, that are made for this type of stress on the feet.

I worked in a plant, 12 hrs/day, for years and had the same problem. Rubber mats were not an option, but getting the correct boots made a world of difference. Red Wing, Timberland, and Wolverines all made a good ones.

Thanks for all the boot suggestions.

Now back to work!

After partial media blast yesterday, I shot epoxy primer on the quarter structure, inner wheel houses, forward structure/engine compartment.

Then this morning I test fit one of the full quarters.

Awesome fit, beautiful panels.
