I think that the lack of rust free cars in the southwest is because we're getting picked over from other areas where the climate is not as dry.
Damned foreigners...   And Northwesterners and Mid-Westerners and North-Easterners and Southerners!!  |

Thanks, Jeffrey... can't wait to see yours, too. Where's Mark? Gotta see what he scored. Henry, too... he's had one for awhile.
Well, today, I replaced the brake light switch and I finally working brake lights. Stoked! Also did some cleanup here and there. Took some more pics with different lighting settings and got more of the true color on the color one.
I'll always dig on black & white shots, too.
Nix the Monza? Hmmm... but Rick and Bill told me they were really boss and stuff. Tomorrow; eyebrows for the headlights!

It looks really nice Mark, great score. Start making your "before and after" book.
If you are going with the Monza, don't forget a pair of "Toronado" mirrors!

Good catch, Gary... that's the only body part that's not orig. on this car. I already have a German driver's side fender if I ever paint it down the road. Can't afford it now.

This is a late car with the late lowback seats... exactly what I was looking for. Plus, I got pop-outs with no sunroof. Been looking for that combo for a long time. |

Nice progress.
Thanks... got even more done, today. Painted the wiper arms and blade holders silver, replaced a few grommets and gaskets. Also took a stab at making the plate the correct color. This was my first practice run. Not perfect... but I might be able to, someday, dial it in.

Well, there's a trifle more to it than that... but yeah, love to see that car back on the road again. I'd give anything to have my old orange '66 back. There's a couple of you that are very blessed to have been smart enough to hang on to your cars over the years. Good on ya!

I've got no metal skills!. Been trying to work with Danny on it but he keeps getting better paying jobs and I can't blame him for taking them. He and I had lunch on Wednesday and talked about it. He may be having a break coming up. The other thing we talked about was trailering the car to his house so he could work on it as he has time. |

Well, got the outside of the car done, except for the engine. The headliner is old and the carpet is black but in good condition. Down the road, I'll put in some factory gray carpet and new white headliner. At least, for now, I can enjoy the car and focus on building an engine.
Stoked to have a D.K.K. logo on my car after too many years since my last one. Thanks to everyone here for the support, car, wheels, and everything else. Feels good to be back.
