Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Well……

Dreams come true.

I so wanted to see this little car as a burned out wreck.

So..….

Do wishes come true?




This was a Dutch Canta LX, set alight by vandals.

A bit of a busy weekend, mainly avoiding any kind of work on the Canta.

We had wind storms as well, and the wind does not go with contact adhesive and flapping strips of vinyl.

Sunday afternoon by 3.00pm I had done some yard work nd the wind was more of an irritating breeze.

So I opened up and got going.

Passenger door…..



And of course the intended one piece cover did not work.

So I did two strips on the curved sides and then the big surface, followed by the raised section which I had to dismantle partly in order to tuck the vinyl in and get is tightened down.



Starting to look half decent.



And then the final piece, wrapping it up.



I was really pleased with the way this all came out.

Way better than I expected.

Remember the burned out Canta?

Last week this was what it looked like.

I am really sorry for the owner, many owners have no other form of mobility or independence.



Back to work.
