Off to the hot tank tommorrow

[droptop]

Finally got the call for the GTX this past weekend that I have been waiting for. My body guy will be ready for it in 4 weeks. Off to the hot tank to be dipped and get ready for paint. He works out of his 2 1/2 car garage behind his house after work. It will take about 12 months after he starts on it, but well worth the wait. He is very good at what he does.

That does look good Harold. And it's in a bit better condition then your convert! :jester:

I bought this car in 1976 when I was 16. It has been sitting in the corner for a long time. I always said that when the boys get out of college, this car would go to the top of the list no matter what. Well, Marc has about a year left, and that is about how long it will take to get it back with fresh pretty F5.

LOOKS RUST FREE TOO.....nice :drive:

 

[droptop]

Not completely. Lower quarter rust, but that is it. If you look at the driver side below the marker light, you can see it starting to come through. The car was painted in the mid 80's and small patches were put in the front part of the lower quarters just behind the wheel. Other than that, this is an original sheet metal car. I will have to replace the rad support. There was a 440 dropped a short distance on the original one many years ago.

Some of you may not remember me talking about this car. It was my first car that I bought from the original owner in '76. This is the car that I learned to drive in. Very nicely optioned. Here is the fender tag info.

R11 VIF V6W 26 END
G33 J25 L31 M21 M33 N96
A01 A04 A32 B51 C16 C55
F5 F5 P6G F8 307 212144
E87 D32 RS23 L9G 228675

2 items that are not on the fender tag was the six way seat, and the front and rear speaker. Where would that be documented, on the broadcast sheet?

My 6 way seat is on line 6 box 6 with a 2 typed in it. The speaker is on line 10 box 4 with a 1 typed in it. They also scribbled 6 way on it
