Default Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?

I keep moving forward. Bouncing around a little just to keep it fun.
Even though I have the patterns from Ford for the tool tray liners, it's still quite the task to install them neatly.

I'd painted a lot of "little" parts the other day. Grille louvers, trunk lid supports, hood hinges, etc. Also got the rear side of the doors painted. Tomorrow I'll paint the outside of the doors.
Once I get the doors sanded and polished, I'll hang them and adjust the body (pads) as might be necessary.
I always test fit everything at least once. I only place a thin piece of webbing between the frame and body when fitting. Once the body has been painted and polished, I install the correct pads between the body and frame.
With all the test fitting, I have yet to have a car go together without at least a tiny bit of shimming.
