Agreed! They make no sense at all.

Today we went over to Tim's garage to pull the front end off. Fist time we pulled the fenders off the car since we got it in Feb. 2014. You can see his '62 Chevy II convert in the background. We have to wash the SW desert dust off all the areas we exposed next to clean and repaint, including the inner fender wells. The bottoms of the front fenders are nice and solid metal.

Default Body Work Finally Started!

After a long winter and spring hiatus, Tim started panel work on the GT-37 a couple of weeks ago. Deer hunting was his focus back in November & December after the car was delivered to his shop, then he wanted to make some serious progress on his ’62 Chevy II Convertible before jumping on the GT-37, which was OK by me as I needed to tend to my injured wife (broke her knee the week of Thanksgiving). Dan stopped by today to pick up window trim that I need to clean up of old glue and tape residue. He’s working on the doors and has the hood, deck lid, and valances primed. The front fenders are at the sand blasters for cleaning in the tight areas.

I’ve got to find some white ’71 door panels! I’m going to need them sooner than I thought!

WOW Dennis,, it looks like it's moving along well! That's exciting! Looks like he knows what he's doing. That's going to be a fine looking GT-37.

Haven't gotten anything done on mine this past month but should get back on it next week. Wish mine was a far along as yours!

I sure hope it keeps moving along, lol! I've been trying to finish this car for 10 years and it's always been interrupted! Tim does know his craft for sure. It looks like our cars are both in a similar state of progress at this point. If my GT-37 is out of the paint shop by the end of June, it'll be a couple months to reassemble it, so maybe drivable by the end of summer...I hope?

Refurbished the inner fender wells today...not professional grade, but a little better than before.

I can’t believe it’s been that long! Time sure flies.

Looking forward to seeing it “done” (whatever that means with these cars).
