At Last!!!

My 68 Plymouth Fury III has now gone in to be restored/repainted. I'm hoping to do off-frame body and paint but that may depend on what the final estimate will be once my friend/the antique car restorer takes a closer look at it. One way or another, though, it will get bodywork and a new paint job. The pictures of it now. I am returning it to its original medium blue paint color.

That's awesome. Keep us informed with pictures.

Good luck, walking your probable path at the moment with my 69.

proverbial frame off

 

[LocuMob]

This one is an off frame job.

 

[Turboomni]

Great to see a "dream come true" congrats! Post pics of the progress please. All the best to you and your car.

("frame off" on a unibody car?)

Well, I did use the term loosely, but I think you know what I mean.

 

[Fratzog]

Nice to see another one getting some love. Please keep us posted.

The best of luck. It is not cheep painting a car this big. I know I did one of my 1967 Fury's

I've been trying to upload some recent pictures of the progress made but keep getting an error code saying something about a security breach/code. Can anyone tell me what is going on/what I need to do to upload the pictures?

 

[Duncan]

Try an update once again. Hopefully will be more successful

In the process of being media blasted. The outcome so far -

Driver's rear quarter will definitely need replacing - but I knew that already, it has been hit at least twice that I know of. Passenger rear quarter may also need to be replaced (Worker is covering damage). Then the usual rust repair/replacement, weather stripping, trim clips and so on and so on.

Wow, I see what your saying about the LF quarter. It must have had a fender bender in it's previous life.

Amazing what some people will try to "fix" with bondo.

 

[ImpJay]

From time to time bondo fixes get truly hilarious.

 

[Duncan]

Yeah, that fender was a surprise. I knew it had bondo - had no idea it was in this kind of shape.

 

[ImpJay]

Now bondo: off and steel: on.
