Its Been a While

From the beginning of the pandemic, things started to gain speed and the restoration had really kicked off, I was learning so much about cars and how they worked. In the new year, the car finally has paint and looks incredible, new vinyl on the sails, and much more. We had to buff out and correct the paint where there were imperfections and other blemishes. We had to install a new dash and top pad of vinyl and reinstall the gauges that had been painted and cleaned. Almost every metal piece and part on this car has been wire brushed for rust and in soap and water for a good scrub to get rid of the 50 years of grime and “gunk” as my father referred to. The car has received dynamite in the cabin to lower road noise and eliminate rattles in the metal. The paint process was a relief to finish because it was time consuming. We couldn’t get anything else done before everything was removed and the body had been perfected with putty and other fillers to eliminate dings and small imperfections in the body. But nonetheless, The car is so close to being completely back together, and the car is close to starting back up. I will leave a few pictures of the progress.
