Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?
Looking Good Kube! Was just thinking about you and this thread the order day, great to see another update.
I know what you mean about that wait at the machine shop. I just had my first experience with one last week. What I was told would be 3 days ended up being 2 weeks....was worth it tho knowing the guy does good work although slow. |

Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?
Looks great, Mike. Really spotless.
Can i just ask people in general that if they ever look at my stuff, not to do it immediately after looking at Mike's stuff. Thanks. |

Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?
Have the chassis prepared to drop the body next Monday. Earlier today, I was thinking back to the days when two of us could lift and place the body down. Those days are longggg gone
Monday, there will be four of us. I used up my last remaining NOS exhaust system on this coupe.

Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?
Thanks
Are there any restorers remaining? I fear I am the last (or close to it) of a dying breed. Makes me sad to realize our hobby is not what it once was.

Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?
It's always a relief when the body is down and there were no mishaps along the way.
Next step? I'll get the doors painted (they're ready to shoot) so I can install them and bolt the body down.

Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?
Guys, thanks a ton for the nice comments. Truthfully, I'm never 100% happy with what I do and don't feel worthy of your affirmations.
I DO appreciate them - just don't feel worthy... I love this hobby.

Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?
You must love it Mike, it's obvious to anyone looking. I think you're doing a wonderful job. Certainly a level of quality I could never attain.
I'm heaping on the praise so you can question your worthiness more than normal. Mart. |

I really appreciate your talent that you put forth into these cars. Your attention to detail is beyond any person I’ve ever met. You have a gift. Thanks for sharing.
