Meet Maggie May!

The 69 is my Fav of the fusies.. White vinyl top??

Yes . A new Legendary white vinyl top was included with the car.

Way to go Lee!! The body looks very nice, except for the dutchman's panel which you've become an expert at fixing. Are you planning on just fixing what shows or will you strip it down and repaint? Have to start a Maggie thread.

Just fixing what is needed. No big resto needed here.
Masking off the car except the rear window/roof area.

Day two with Maggie May..
Drained the rotten gas out of the tank and removed from the car..
Sending the tank out for cleaning. A lot of crap was swishing around inside.
The trunk is mint!!

Maggie May has never been winter driven and the ultra heavy undercoating also helped preserve her.
Some belly pics..

Reman tag...318 bored .60 over,crank and mains .10 under
casting date on block is 1988?? It is not exactly legible.

Pulled the back seat out and the highlight of the day is discovering the broadcast sheet!!

 

[cbarge]

Notice the mint floor...

Very nice!

Glad to see that your friend got distracted with other projects and basically stored the car for you until you were ready for it, even though that wasn't his plan. What a difference it makes when the car isn't driven in the salt too. You'll have that one whipped into shape in no time.

Agreed on all counts except... isn’t the present thread the Maggie thread?

 

[live4theking]

Looks to be a wonderful score.

Last night Don and I replaced the master cylinder and bled the brakes...

 

[cbarge]

The old master is actually intended for disc brakes.
We installed a new --not reman-- drum brake master.

 

[cbarge]

The bleeder screws came out real nice. Did not break off!!
Now Frankie has fully functioning brakes and they work great!!
Previous owner replaced all the shoes and wheel cylinders.
Shot of the boys celebrating after a job well done..

 

[cbarge]

Tonight we will do more work...stay tuned!!
