Ya know I think I'll post a pic from early on. This is what it looked like after six months of ownership. I wasn't inspired to say the least.


After draining my bank account and busting numerous fingers and knuckles here it is. I replaced the rear quarters, rockers, p-side floor along with a whole host of stuff. I'm not even close to being finished with it (been working on my 4th Gen) but for now, this is where I'm at. I swear it's the same one, see I left the Jolly Roger sticker on just for that reason. I know I have to paint that screen behind the front emblem. It looks like crap.






And heres a quick shot of my 1980. I haven't even begun, but it has a strong 2F and the tub is really the only bad spot. I mean the lower tub. The top is perfect, like it's been inside a garage. A total tub replacement and a little love or sweat. It'll be cherry again. Yeah right!

Dang Doug, you're making me slobber!!!

That's one tight 40 man....

Makes me want one real bad.... too bad my bank acct is pretty high and dry

 

very nice....

 

I have always wanted a 40 ... and you have two of them?!?

 

Thanks for the compliments.

Its almost a challenge to see what you can do with a pile of scrap iron. I guess it provides somehat of an escape from the daily grind.

Looking good Doug! These things sure are a time/money sink hole, but worth the effort- thats what I keep telling myself anyways.
