You guys are awesome, it shouldnt be too hard to find parts for this thing with your help. I really appreciate it, you have no idea how much it means to me. Im in Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula about a mile from Superior. PM sent 3 Deuce.
With any luck we will get the body off the frame today, and start sand blasting the frame. I need to get as much cleaning done as I can before the white stuff gets here. Looks like about a week left of decent weather. Once its all cleaned up I can work inside without worrying about the weather.
Just a cursory look around after clearing the biological stuff from inside and under it it looks like only the front floor pans and trunk need replaced, not an entire floor like the Mustang I did before. I can hope right? The drivers quarter is getting a new skin, the wheel lip is moved around and its full of holes. The pass side needs lower patches and a dent pulled from right behind the wheel well. If I can get patches for the windows, I could have the metal work done by mid December.
The frame looks good from under it, I havent had the body off a early A body before, is there any particular place they like to rust the frame? Like a typical spot you guys find.
Anyone near upper Michigan have a drivers quarter window and rear glass? Wisconsin, even Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa are not a problem. Im willing to drive a bit provided the weather isnt too bad up here, we get lots of snow and white outs are a daily thing.
