I'm scheduled for a heart cath on Monday. That will slow things up a little. Also had cataract surgery on my right eye about 3 weeks ago and will have the left eye done in April. Its been a busy time.

Here is a long overdue update on Virgils, (61 Fury convertible), restoration. Most is unseen detail but body will finally be completed by the end of the month, Everything is painted but the hood at this point. Some pictures.........

I'm beginning to think there was no body/frame ground strap used in 1961. I find no evidence in reference to one in the FSM or parts book.

Next time I get to Carlisle will be when I show the Fury John. Won't be this year though. Body goes to paint and final assembly next month.

1961 Plymouth. does anyone know what type of ground strap was used between the body and engine? also, where was it located. Thanks Will

Ill shoot some tomorrow.....:thumbsup:

This is a example of a original OEM seat belt including NOS mounting hardware. The correct belt material is called (7 panel). Look close at it. The webbing material is usually available on ebay in many colors although all originals were a tan/brown color. Most trimmers won't stitch new sebbing...

Belts for your 57 were only available through the factory accessory book over the counter. Placement is where ever is comfortable for you. Originals had a bolt with a loop in the floor with a large washer on the underside. The belt attached with a forged clip.

I had both side vent window frames and pivots rechromed. It took me 4 1/2 days to reassemble them. Look good though.

This is a great deal. Wish I needed it.

Still at it and gaining ground. Doors and fenders scheduled to be painted in November. Installed the high dollar radiator yesterday. I'll have some updated pictures soon. An upgrade wiped out my picture download capably, gotta learn a new one all over again.

Left and right are the same Stef.

Dash installed today. Just some wire routing and some plumbing left.

I've been dragging my feet on the posts for awhile. Lots getting done but not much to exciting to look at. I plan to mate the dash and wiring harness to the car tomorrow.

Great project Ken. I,ll be following.... Wish my convertible was that color.

Everything didn't go so smooth. The vent hole in the lid of the paint gun clogged and blew off..... the results......

It took most of the week to strip and prep the dash frame and parts. etched, premiered, painted and cleared yesterday. Ill get busy assembling and installing it after the Battleship show this weekend.

The paint was good but needed better preparation. I've stripped it to bare metal. and will acid etch the metal and then a acid etch primer. Some filler primer and some more sanding. Then ready to paint and assemble.

Thanks Ken. You can add it to the list.

I'm working on the dash assembly. Everything is located and in place including the wire harness routing. Looks like I will need to locate a plastic "mirror" trim ring for the remote mirror control. All will need to come back apart so I can repaint the dash frame. The first repaint, done a...
