Got a new project car.

Thanks!
I am excited too!


I think these guys are gonna turn out a real nice finished product.
We looked at some of the stuff they had in there already done and it looks top of the line. Better than the guy who was 2 grand more.

Now I'm just working on getting the interior guy lined up, and figuring out the bumper situation.

 

So I stopped by on Friday and took some pics of the car after they had wet sanded the primer.

He ran some water over the side of the car and invited me to feel it. Smooth as a baby's bottom.

They planned to shoot the interior on Saturday.

So I took the pics and tried to load them. Everytime I hit the "Attach" button my computer would freeze.

So, sadly, no update pics today.

 

Looking forward to seeing your pictures of the Ranchero. Sounds like its coming along very nicely.

 

Here are the pics of it in primer I was trying to load on Friday.

 

And the beat goes on.......

 

The shop that never sleeps! They must have 6 coats on it by now!

 

So my father-in-law stopped by the paint shop this morning. He said they had the interior done and were about three coats in on the top coat.

I ended up having to go to town and I couldn't resist going to look for my self since it was on my way.

These fellers work quick!

 

This is gonna be a "Sunday, Go-to meetin' ride." :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

Insure the heck out of it, because Europe and Asia have fat-cat collectors, with no scruples.

Are they enjoying working on it? They must be.

 

That is coming together fast, good for you!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Oh, yeah. It's on the fast track. I love it.

I think they are having a good time. It's a father son duo that is doing the work. They don't speak very good english, so sometimes it's tuff to get across whats going on, but they are both good natured and we always seem to communicate.

My father-in-law is getting real excited about it too. He stopped by there again this evening on his way home. He called me and told me they had started putting on the clear. When it sets I believe they will wet sand it and then after a hardens for a while they will buff it out. I'm doing all of the parts ordering so he was running down the list of things we need for the interior, what's the latest on the bumpers etc. He's like a little kid, it's great.

And since the Ranchito is currently out of cruising commission, the Bronco is getting some use, so that is good too.

 

lookeen goood

 

Thanks Rev. You may have to cruise down and check it out when it's all done and ready to roll.

 

Interior is done (for now) fresh paint, undercoating on the floor boards. Looking good! I got a box of parts from Dearborn Classics yesterday. Got a full Knob kit, new window cranks, door handles, dome light and bezel and scuff plates.

Oh yes, and a verra nas wood grain steering wheel.

 

What did they use on the floorpans?

 

I agree. It's so sad.
