a clean box

After my Sunday drive to the camp, I cleaned up the CV. An oil change and coolant flush are next for this baby.

Looking good as usual, That's the look I would have gone for (blackwalls) if I had put the steel wheels and hubcaps back on. I was kind of surprised when you didn't like the idea. (of course I'm glad I listened).

playing with paint

I removed the surface rust that had accumulated under one side of the hood. No before pics but here's what it looks like now. I sanded the area down of course. A healthy dose of rust converter, two coats of medium gold paint and one coat of clear.

I didn't do all of this in one day. Started one evening last week, then finished it this evening. Glad I took advantage of the nice weather. In other news, this is post #5000

I dropped my box off at Taylor'd Rides today. Paul is gonna start working on it Monday. The minor rust around the wheel wells and rocker panels is going bye-bye. After the work is done, the chrome trim and mud flaps will not be re-installed!

Here's some teaser pics I took last week after the car was finished at the body shop.

the bottom line

The sooner you get it done, the better. Rust never sleeps! I'm not sure how much the rear quarters alone would cost. Depends who does the work. I had the rear quarters and all wheel wells done. Paul's labour rate is $30 per hour. After the body work was complete, he waxed and buffed the car. I paid $1400 for his services. That's still cheaper than most other shops around here!

bath time...

I can only up-load three pics at a time, since up-grading to the Samsung 10.2 mp digi-cam.
