  • I've seen that one, the lights don't do it for me.... pretty awesome car, though, kind of shows the potential (and quite low-hanging fruit compared to other, more popular cars)
    Doing it all wrong since 1966

    • parts fell off
      back glass


      passenger door and driver's door


      nothing remarkable except that someone used silicone to keep the shims in place


      this corner looks like someone worked on it with a paint brush.... it concerns me slightly


      all of this to fix hinges and to finish stripping the paint. In the end, these will probably be crank up windows... both motors are toast, the switches don't work and frankly I'm capable of rolling up a window

                do you already have the roll up stuff?
                i have both sides, tracks, regulators, handles, etc...
                you just need to find the door panels to work with them
                or buy new repro panels.

                pm me if you want to discuss this.

                  I don't but I may take this opportunity to give myself a bit of shoulder room by replacing all the internals with removable, plexy windows.... this isn't a grocery getting, it won't have locks.... thanks though

                  • a bit more sanding
                    before


                    during - someday I will find out what those 'stripping' wheels are good for.... usually they simply create a lot of debris but no real stripping, this time... too much


                    80 grit

                    hmmm... it does raise the dust

                        • As much as I'd love to keep boxes like this around - there just isn't the room.... Buick seems okay with it

                          remove bolts

                          try fitting for real... ugh


                          better

                          if anyone is curious who made it

                          notsobetter - I solved this with heat.... pictures tomorrow.


                          oh you must be kidding me - need to drill out the support to 5/16


                          they suggest hood pins.... I have hood pins


                          schnazzy, no?


                          I'd love to move it closer to the windshield but the pins would go straight through the wiper pivot


                          wonder how much faster it would be if I turned them to flow with the wind?


                          onto other issues.... non-adherence of the fender


                          cut, glue, clamp fixeded




                          time to work on the nose - now that I have the hood, I can make all of this solid


                          and spent some time getting the last of the paint off with aircraft remover (you can't see the aircraft so clearly it's worked)

                          verse 2

                          and the sail panels



                          things that puzzle - why would you only seal up the driver's side?

                            Probably the best thing in this thread.

                              • sanded a bit today

                                then spent quality time looking for door bolts
                                then worked a few minutes on the front.... I have the actuators coming so maybe I can get this buttoned up
