finishing Gary's '72 Tii

[dirty30]

That's so awesome! Crazy that the car required that much when it was only 10 years old.

I know right? We were talking about that earlier today how a ten year old car could need a complete resto!

Great work! I'm so glad I live in a state where rust just isn't an issue. Except in 02s. Rust is somehow always an issue on any car from the 70s and earlier.

Sending the doors out to get stripped and primed at Frederick County Customs before getting everything painted.

Thanks! I will post more pictures when I get the pieces back from paint. I haven't done much since we got back. I'm also going to start working on the consoles and maybe start a separate thread on those once I get them sorted and put together.

I think this is a fitting picture for Gary's birthday. He would have been 62.

Hell yes.

Also fitting is that his car made it in the picture of Oktoberfest in Beaver Creek. I just saw it in this month's der Bayerische. He would have been happy it made it there.

One of the very best stories/projects I've seen here. I wish the two (three, including the car) of you all of the best.

Thank you!

I just developed some film from Oktoberfest and here are some of the photos. (I took pics of the actual photos since I can't download them to my phone at the moment, so excuse the poor quality)
