I called yesterday and she said the blaster had been out all week due to car troubles.

I did hear of a body man that doesn't like using filler. He metal finishes everything. I have yet to get his number or see him. Still investigating that.

I met with a highly recommended body man here in town. He looked at the hood and said he can fix it for $75. I think that is pretty cheap. It kind of scares me.

. I asked him his procedures and sounded right to me.

I wish I was more capable of doing it myself. Sometimes we have to admit our weaknesses. We'll see what comes of the hood.

Ditto.

65Custom · 12-10-2011, 06:15 PM

Glad to hear you found someone that might be able to fix it for you. Keep his number handy I might need him too when I get this point in my build.

57truckguy · 12-11-2011, 12:16 AM

Alan you didn't tell that body man that he was worth his weight in gold did you....LOL Metal working body men are a dying breed.

daverod · 12-11-2011, 10:11 PM

Must be staving to death.

I think he did the blaster a favor. They might have a good working relationship.

No word on the hood yet. I heard he is slow, but good. That's fine by me.

Some other progress made today. The upohlstery guy got the seats apart and gave the plastic trim pieces so I can paint them. I got them degreased tonight. Hope to paint this week.

That sounds just like the guy we picked to restore my wifes 72 LeMans/Enduro Sport Convertible back home.
He is trying to retire, and I guess it was something I said as he was turning down the job that made him change his mind and take her car on.

I also hope the best for your hood, I bet it turns out fine!

i might call tomorrow and check on the hood.

Got the trim pieces painted tonight, so I can get them back to the upohlstry shop tomorrow. I just went thru the interior color chip book and picked out a color that would work. I just wanted to go with a satin black single stage. The flash was on in the first pic of the trim. It kind of washed it out.

57truckguy · 12-16-2011, 01:21 AM

Alan,, looks like another winner for you... great job..

flips72 · 12-17-2011, 10:48 PM

interior parts look great but one things bothering me........ did i see the word ford on that can?

any word on the hood yet, still got my fingers crossed.

I could have looked in a GM color, but black is black.

As far as the hood, I called Friday and the guy hasn't even gone to pick it up yet. The upholstery shop is closed on Fridays as well.

Tried to get the wiper linkage installed temporarily because I need to take the motor back out and install the seal (Christams present). Discovered I was missing the link off the motor. It's somewhere, but luckily Greg brought my parts cab back and it had one on it.

I also used a Port-o-power to fix the frame rail. It had three cracks in it that showed up while working it. I never knew there were 3 cracks there. I saw one a little while ago. I had the frame sand blasted and primed since I was in the process of building my shop 4 years ago. I never saw the frame in bare metal. The primer they used was thick and hides a lot of stuff. Just another minor set back. I'll repair the cracks and repaint the frame horn.

daverod · 12-18-2011, 09:09 PM

Port-o-power???? What happen to the good old days when it was a tree, a chain and a come-a-long.

Getting all high tech on us. I'm surprised it didn't bend your radiator.

theastronaut · 12-21-2011, 05:56 PM

Alan, are you going to have it done by Christmas?

Just messin with ya!!

I've been watching for awhile but haven't commented yet. Very impressive, detailed work sir! Two thumbs up! I hope to see it in person one day, we're only about 120 miles apart. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks man!! I'd love to see your truck as well. Your level of craftsmanship seems unreachable to me. That won't keep me from trying tho.

I got a call today saying my hood is ready. I plan on getting it tomorrow.

All I can say is I should have tried it myself. Now I don't have a choice. I guess I do have a choice, but I can mess it up just as good as others. I'll post more later.

Though I AM sorry to hear your hood did not meet your expectations, I rest assured that your work to fix it will more than make up for it.
