May 2016 Car of the Month - Cabriolet

[KyleDriver]

Damn, this is seriously impressive. To rescue a car from the grave, strip it down to literally nothing, and then end up with this as the end result is beyond amazing. Bravo, sir.

One of the better builds on r3v. Beautiful car!

[Convertible Dirtz]

That's Gucci!

Thx. I think everyone should experience this process at least once. no free money and no free time for almost 2 years is a growing experience. then when people ask, you about your car at a dinner, you just say "ya i built it" then move on and watch they faces.

But i have to owe this build to xworks, "minor rust repair"
after reading his thread for years, i knew i had to restore a car the best i could. i'm not as patient as him but his inspiration is what got me through the last 30%

Very nice build. I've been working on mine for 2 1/2 years and what is funny is when I find parts I purchased and I forgot all about it because they been in my closet for so long.

What a fantastic shot. Hang this on your wall.

20K at paint and maxed out credit cards?? that's mental! Something I was taught was to use your own money to restore a car, then you own it every process and not left with a debt at the end.

I sympathize with you not having free time, im two years into my resto and 6 months into re-assembly and im growing tired of trying to find time and hitting walls of "i need this before I can put this on"

cracking colour you've chosen!

If you are at picnic again this year I need to ride in your car, maybe it will help me decide if I should dynamat everything or not.

I just remember taking door panels off, especially in a coupe, and the rear panels there is a dinky piece of foam deadening, and thats it.

Thank you guys for the compliments.

Dont give up!!! Re-assembly is the hardest part to stay motivated. Stick with it guys. just do a little every day and drag a friend over one a weekend and you can power through a lot.

i would let you drive her but we are flying up this year. i have an internship and can't take off the 2 extra days needed to drive up.
the dynamat helps a little but it really isn't that good. i've seen people use expanding foam in the rear and i bet that does the best sound deadening.
