I got to apply another coat of rust converter on these and I will take a photo of that when it gets done but its late and I am not going down in the garage. OK I am back. The trunk floor was prepared for rust converter and I added 2 coats to were I needed to but I did 3 coats instead

The cancer part of the trunk was cut out . New metal was welded on and the glass bondo applied . It was sanded and regular bondo was added on and now its sitting over night and will be sanded again

 

[sb61fury]

More progress the bondo was sanded and I had to vacuum the trunk

I get 1 every year and I also updated my tetness shot the last time I had 1 was back in '87 when I was in a very bad car accident.

There ya go. . . I never get flu shots.

Likewise, there hasn't been a needle stuck in me in over 40 years and I never had the flu.

None for me either. The last time I got the flu was close to 20 years ago and the doc told me it wouldn't have mattered because it seemed I had every strain of the flu for that year.

 

[sb61fury]

There is still a delay due to the illness but we are fighting it

 

[sb61fury]

I am almost over this crud

 

[sb61fury]

To my fellow '61 fury owners Rock Auto has a close out sale on some parts for yours and my car. I ordered some parts at this price . My braked were bled today . I also found out the tires on my '61 are 15 years old so it will be short trips when I start driving the car again . I will need to save for tires.
