Re: im new here... heres my progress on hurricane katrina project
Wow, great progress!!!
One question: Are you concerned with the cab rusting from the inside out because it was submerged underwater? Thanks for saving another classic!

Looking good. Keep up the good work. Having worked a few flood cars in my life I know that was a mess.

Re: im new here... heres my progress on hurricane katrina project
Those are repo doors and fenders? Does the OEM grille work good with the aftermarket fenders? How about the doors? Much trouble getting them to fit properly?

Re: im new here... heres my progress on hurricane katrina project
all the parts come from early classic... i got a dealer account w/ them.... the doors are goodmark and the fit good.. its just a pain to align w/ the hinges... grille fits great w/ the aftermarket fenders... . my next step is to align all parts and finish welding..

Re: im new here... heres my progress on hurricane katrina project
Looks pretty cool. I bought that same hood a few months ago. I also plan to get a new sheet metal for the front.
