Well gang, Tonite I thought I'd gripe about the bodywork I'm absolutely [EMAIL PROTECTED](@$@([EMAIL PROTECTED])!)@!-ing sick of doing.. I have owned my '66 for 7 years, and I'm close to the finish line on the bodywork, so I guess that's why it's getting to me so much. In the time I've owned the car, I started w/bodywork b/c I didn't have the money for the engine work just yet, so I did as much bodywork as I could handle- then, I got a motor and put it in the car from a parts car, only to have it die about 6 mos after I installed it, so I then took a 1-yr hiatus. From there, I finally pulled enough funds together to get a 327 and rebuild it for the car, and she now sounds great and runs great- And now, I'm down to the final stretch of stripping the last of the original nauseating-puke-colored turquoise paint off of the car, in hopes of having the bodywork completed and ready for paint by April. Only thing is, I'm now working on the roof, which appears to have gone seriously neglected for about the first 10 years of the car's life- And then, to make matters worse, the next buyer simply shot another coat of paint right over it for that "new car" look. I've been doing the entire car with an orbital DA, and my God do I wish I'd had the money to simply have the entire body bead-blasted.. It's alot of work and I know it will be worth it once I'm done and looking back, and I know that had I not gotten the car in this condition, I probably wouldn't have had one at all, so I really need to clam up and just finish it.. But man, it's been a rough road.. Anyone else had as much "fun" with the bodywork on their classic?? Jim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
