So this is the holy grail to me. The last part of the shell being painted. Just the under side but with in a week will start on the top. Then I can put the blue paint to rest. It will be a monumental day for sure. All the hard work is not over but can start on the motor then and all the rest of stuff that it needs to be finished. :)IMG_0103 (1).JPG IMG_0104.JPG

Looks good Russ I had to put epoxy under mine cause of the wavey ness of the top just in the middle

looks good Russ are you rebuilding the motor
Hope that it dose not need much. But will take a look into it. It is bored 30 over that I know. Will get a seal and gasket set. Got to take a look at crank bearings as well as push rod bearing's. Then will check the cylinder wall's. It ran like a charm and no noise. Think who ever owned it last put all their money in the motor and did little to the car. :thumbsup2:

Thanks HD539. While it is drying and cure to where I can do the top of it will make it finished. Working on vent window and pop out window. Wanting to get every thing done I can before moving on to the motor. That window channel guide seal is a joke. I would have thought it would have been a stout piece of plastic. No wonder it rot's out. The pop out window hinge part is made of the same stuff. Boy. Cleaning and shining every piece up. Also painting the window track's. Where rust has started in. Just like the rest of the car it all need's attention. Maybe one day I will get to drive it if it don't brake me first. :lol:
