[b-man]

Not yet but I’ve been pushing pretty hard on it the last couple of months.

Installed the engine and transmission about a month ago, this last couple of weeks concentrating on the brakes and finishing up the exhaust.

I need to pull the front sheet metal off that’s only temporarily bolted on so I can get the car to my metal guy to replace both of the captured nuts inside the rockers that secure the bottom of the front fenders.

Same metal man is going to be doing some work on my 1957 bug (high school car I bought in 1977) before the Le Mans gets its turn, I’m doing 2 projects at once and now that I’m retired I finally have the time.

The Le Mans was kinda rough when I bought it, most old convertibles led a pretty hard life. Mechanically it was a wreck but it did retain its original 2-barrel 326, 2-speed automatic, 2.93 open rear and the factory A/C was still completely intact but needing lots of love. I couldn’t pass up a ‘64 convertible loaded with accessories like power windows, steering and A/C, you can’t be too picky when you’re lucky enough to find one this loaded.

A massive undertaking that I’ve started and stopped on over the years but I’m determined to make it road worthy even if it doesn’t end up looking show worthy.
