It makes noise, on its own, wanted to see if it will run before ripping it out, sounds pretty good!

A couple questions in my mind, but the first one, the front fenders, where they always rust out between the support and the skin, on the lower section, is there a way to permanently seal that so it doesnt happen again? Or just coat it with undercoating and hope for the best?  Seems a bad design, the way stuff can get in there and not get out (obviously as they commonly rust there)

ok, they said I have to pay the return shipping ($100) to return them. So I just made an ad on craigslist for what I have into them to see if I can sell them without taking the 100 dollar hit. I still really really dont want to have to deal with the nightmare of setting up all the gaps, wish I could find a sail panel.

I have some of my ford race parts on ebay, auction ends tonight, if it sells Ill have enough to buy the remaining sheetmetal parts asap (roof, full rear quarters)

Big truck for little parts




Yes, skins, I know.... Everyone says full quarters, in hind sight, I could use the top of the quarters to help repair the drip rail areas, but there is so little rust in the quarter it just seemed like the way to go... But, If anyone has those sail pieces leftover.........

Wife and I were initially thinking of grey with black stripes, but being it was origional red, we found this one, and are thinking this looks pretty nice!



backend needs a little love, car did come with a new back piece NIB yet. Also have a rear spoiler



Here is some of the dash rust I cut the dosh top off saturday, car came with a new one of those too, but think I may need the top cowl piece? Or should I weld strips to rebuild what was there?

its origionally coded a turbo 350 with a console?  It has the column shifter and only a L and D, so I assumed powerglide, but it def has a TH350 in it.

Plans are to make it a driver, not a trailer queen, my brother has a '57 chevy, so we can do some car shows and go cruising.  Its a super solid car, zero rust in the doors, rockers, floor and trunk pans. Just the usual in the fenders, dash, rear lower window channel edges, wheel lip.

Got my quarter skins today! pretty excited! I didnt go with the full quarters because of cost, and didnt want to have to mess with resetting gaps and all that trouble I read about all the time. In my mind I guess this seemed to be the easiest way. Although in hindsight, I kinda need the very tops of the quarters at the sail panel area, the drip rail rust got them a little bit.   But every part I bought has been AMD so far.

Also, the dash rust was pretty good, whats the top cowl piece called? Ill upload pics tomorrow.

Thanks!
