Title: My slow moving ragtop project
Post by: Chuck Fryer on August 25, 2009, 21:56:42 pm
Thought I would share with the group. I have been working, or really just letting collect dust, this 62ish ragtop for a few years now. I am using the pan and quite a few other parts from the car I flipped a few years ago. i bought a rust free  63 body from Arizona and had it shipped here to northern Illinois. I have tried to do most all the work myself, kinda cheap, and kinda just to see if I can. I have managed to strip, blast, prime, and start the paint. The pan is blasted and painted and the assembly has started.  I should get the rest of the car painted and assembled over the winter. Hope to drive it next spring

Thanks Louis

I'm headed off to the paint booth this afternoon. Plans are to spray it tonight and bring it home Sunday.

That is looking sweet. Reminds me a bit of Frenchy's Oval.
