the site is acting goofy, unless we are limited to 4 pics per post now? Used to be 10.

I got to see it in person on Monday while in ND's area.
Amazing to see all of the work and new metal that has went into that car.
Almost anyone with a few tools can make a car look good driving down the street but the projects you work on turn old classics into basically new cars again.
These restos will last many years and not have cracked paint and bondo falling off after a few years.
GO Dave GO!

Looking good, guards, doors, hood etc, are you going to use new items or are the old ones serviceable? Whats next? Paint underneath and suspension?

I can work with the drivers door, passenger door will get a skin, we are ordering both fenders (new, repros)
We will start cleaning up and loading rear axle/springs, front suspension and steering with new seals, bearings, bushings, joints etc.
Meeting with the customer tonight to discuss paint details for under car, inside, under hood etc.

We are rebuilding all of the suspension, steering, brakes, bearings, seals etc.
Leaf spring packs rebuilt with new glide tabs, new leaf eye bushings. All new stainless brake lines going on, just new, new, new.
The new cast iron pieces such as calipers, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, brake drums, brake rotors, all getting cleaned, etch primed and painted with cast/blast paint to preserve the new cast iron look without rusting.
Upper and lower control arms, ball joints, bushings, strut rods, strut rod bushings, shocks, sway bar link bushings... Tie rods and sleeves..
Just miles and miles if new awesomeness.
I will try to take some pics tomorrow.
