Well body is on the frame, need to cut the floors out by the link bars. Then it will sit right down on the frame. Hurt my thumb in the process. Think I will name her Christine!!
Thanks.. Made some rear door panels the other day from a new 66 chevelle vinyl top I've had laying around for 30+ years. It's not perfect but it works. Worked on the C-notch cover and placement of the air tank. Got the new Trim Parts carpet and Pontiac embroidered floor mats the other day as well.
Well, starting to try and get stuff together. The Motor and back part of the car is all wired. Straightened the rear bumper and tail pan the best I could and re-assembled. Just short a backup lens, 2 bumper bolts, and mount the license plate light. Everything you cannot see has been blasted and undercoated underneath, for protection.
It's been a battle at times to keep the interest up, almost packed it in a few times!
I wanted it to look as authentic as possible to the way I found it, but keeping it safe,profesional,reliable and fun to drive.
I hope to complete it for under $ 14,000.
Then...?? I have a line on a real nice solid 1960 Pontiac Ventura hardtop.
But my heart says 33 Ford...

Car looks awesome. How much was the front end from Fatman to get here? I'm sitting on the fence with what to do with mine. I've got a Camaro subframe that I was originally going to use but the mustang II looks so much better. I'm just trying not to blow the bank on this one.

Can't exactly remember how much, but thinking it was just under $ 3000 delivered to US border services.
The exchange rate was much better then.
That was with rear sway bar, front discs, and front air bags.
Well haven't done much over summer, but back on it now.
Redid the rear floor to accomodate link bars.
Mounted Grand Prix rear seats.
Installed Eastwood sound deadner.
Bolted body down
Got aluminum bead rolled door panels being made.
Carpet on order.
Starting to come together.
Painted the dash on the weekend and polished some chrome.
Clock polished, mesh painted with chrome spray bomb.
Thinking maybe I should pull the dash cluster apart and detail it with some paint.
Will see how it goes.

Painless wiring harness is getting done.

Things are starting to take shape now.
Just installed the front end, I'm on the downhill slide now!
Looking great! Love the pics and progress..!!

Still playing!

Well finally got back to work on the 50.
Got the new fuel tank in and just installing the carpet.
Sunvisors install
Stereo is installed.
Brake master cylinder installed.
Getting a little closer. Getting a few bugs worked out.
Well if you guys are depressed and bored here's a few more.
1 picture shows the LED headlights.
Having a couple wiring issues, no dash lights. So I'm putting a new light switch in.
The LED turn signals aren't working either, thinking it might need a resistor or different flasher.
I'm not going to look into it till I exchange the switch.
Love the look!
