Is that what it's called? I like it.

Enzio · Dec 8, 2020

No sun today. I'll hope for tomorrow and get some better pictures.

Potomus Pete · Dec 8, 2020

At least its good and stress free. At least in pictures it looks done right with the specks that could be seen

Enzio · Dec 9, 2020

Here's a couple of pictures in the sun. It's so shiny that it's almost impossible to do with out the reflection of the background.

Now the car dries for a week or so and on to reassembly.

Potomus Pete · Dec 9, 2020

Thanks for the pics . Nice to come home, relax, and see what you guys are up to. Ready for reassembly and hope you have a trophy room garage for that new car.

Enzio · Dec 9, 2020

I forgot to say they will wet sand all the way to 5000 grit, then buff it out. THEN go to reassembly.
And no I have a really small 1 car crappy garage. But it works for me for now. I'll start to look for a heated storage place for next winter. I may even move.
Where've you been?

Enzio · Dec 31, 2020

It's starting to go together.

2Blue2 · Jan 1, 2021

Mr De'vill, I'm ready for my close up!

2Blue2 · Jan 2, 2021

Its next yr already, come on with it!

Enzio · Jan 2, 2021

What exactly do you want to see?
I'm on the Canadian border skiing and fishing. I needed to think about what to do with my car. The guys want to finish it as all the work right now is in body and paint. The price was right. Not sure yet what to do. And I don't want you guys to throw me outta here if I go that route. Thing is my little garage is not heated and I'd just leave it sit there until it warms up in the spring to get to work on it.
I'll head back there next Wednesday to check on progress and tell them to proceed put the drivetrain in with all the rear end changes.
Thoughts?

Is a car ok when it sits in zero degree weather. Will the dash crack ?

I want to see the victory lap, but I'm willing to wait...

Potomus Pete · Jan 2, 2021

Cant even take it out till April or more.

Probably more into May.
Memorial day was the date I always shot for. Of course you can take them out sooner, depending on how well the weather cooperates, but that was the first event I'd take mine to.

No it's hard on them. The interior is pretty much okay as long as you have nothing sitting on the interior parts. Seats, Dash etc. They will mold. That's due to condensation in the spring when it warms up and everything inside is super cold. This also happens to the engine. that's a big chunk of iron. So, the engine also condensates and you get rust starting to show through.

Yes I'll video tape it when I learn to drive again.

Enzio · Jan 2, 2021

Either way I'm not driving until spring. I won't even have it towed due to salt all over the roads in the twin cities. That's why you don't drive until Memorial day so the rain has a chance to clean the highways.

2Blue2 · Jan 2, 2021

Sigh, I understand...
I'd do the same2

Honestly I would let them do it, if you can afford it. If they did good work until now, why shouldn't they finish it nicely?!
Because of the pandemic they will be happy to have some work, right?!
I can understand if you want to do that experience yourself, but it will go slowly and will be frustrating - at least at some points.
You need to understand that I do all in my small garage and I see now, that it is unsuitable. The car did get some scratches just because there is not enough room to work on the car on both sides.

Aslong as we get enough pictures, we are happy if you go that route...

And if there will be additional videos of the car, we are more than happy.
