Thanks everyone,

I'm lucky they live less than ten minutes drive from home so we will see a lot of each other, at least twice a week.

"Ya had em a wrench and they're all the same!"

(Other than that.....there are days that you can't look at them "cross-eyed" without getting them upset.....and the upkeep is about the same as a Corvette.....LOL)

doorgunner

Annnnnnnnd another thing.......

she's already thread-jacked your project!

Jack605

Yes she has, and I can hardly wait to hold her again.

Jack605

The mounts look pretty good the drivers front is slightly pitted but you can hardly feel it mostly just surface rust the rear looks better but I can see water got under one corner and pushed the metal out slightly.

Jack605

The right side mounts look a lot better than the left.

Jack605

The right side and across the top is loose the left side is loose at the door but the strip by the heater is on there pretty good and I need to remove a couple of things on that side so I can get to the bonding strip.

Jack605

Nose is off, next stop for the car is a guy north of me he is going to repair the birdcage put the new nose on and start prepping for paint. Just depends on how far the money goes.

Jack605

Brought home the new front clip, it was in storage for 15 years or more. Also got a hood I will be selling.

Hey Jack605 the clip looks real good. everything I see in your pictures looks real familiar. I am starting to see doubles of it all.
Also noticed that there were no block out cowl pieces for the #4 louver. Maybe just the picture.
Good Luck with your project!

LOL! I thought I went to rvzio's thread by mistake!

Jack605

I am going to buy new interior fiberglass pieces and keep the old front clip in one piece.

Thanks

Jack605

Hey Doorgunner ever get up to Chicago?

doorgunner

They won't let me within the city limits! My nephew was there most of last week at a seminar.

Jack605

Sent off my Vette to get the bird cage worked on the front clip re-installed and if my money holds out a new coat of paint. It happened so fast I was not even able to get a picture. Back to work with me have to save some money for the new paint job.
