1968 Florida 1600 Restoration Project

[2mAn]

I saw the Florida car today. I touched it. I look forward to taking another look in a two weeks when I grab that hood. Hopefully my car wont be too embarrassed by the beauty in that building

I wanna make one of those covers a key holder by welding hooks where the spark plugs go.

Glad that worked out for you! Always happy to help a friend.

It makes me sad that's a lemons candidate when it looks way cleaner than my Sahara I was pumped about restoring. Stupid Midwest rust.

Been humping and bumping on the Florida car. I have been installing a lot of tedious parts and adjusting everything. There is a lot of overspray so half of my day has been removing things and sanding/polishing/stripping/cleaning and replacing parts that are too far gone. I hate seeing overspray.

But overall, the car is coming along nicely. I should have bumpers and grilles installed tomorrow. ak+ is helping install the headliner, then all glass goes back in. I have so many parts for this car. I'm going to need a vacation once this is done. Maybe Colombia. Maybe more.

Hey the tails are on. Now it looks like a car.
I'm trying to convince Ryan to put a single offset blast pipe on it.

You're hanging around too many old men.

Yep. Need to polish them up but I cleaned them up nicely. I used a toothbrush and toothpaste. Weird, I know, but it was on suggested by Blunt. Said that's a trick he learned while in the military.

You're hanging around too many old men.

Yeah, but like, what's your point?

It's an acquired taste. They buy me nice things and I only have to do this one thing for them.

You watch your mouth.

Yeah, literally.
