WHAT ? Another 61 Fury restroation......

[bluefury361]

I'm in Gulf Shores after leaving Ocala. I'll take Connie home to winterize and store after Thanksgiving, then come Back for t he winter.
My body guy sent some pictures of the freshly painted dash and kick panels. Looks like a dead on match.

You are blessed to have this guy.

I agree. He works with a passion. Hard to find in a fast buck vocation.

Amazing skills right there!

I picked up the rear interior panels w/arm rests and the sun visors from my trimmer today.
Add to the finished stuff pile.

That would be sweet, wouldn't it? Not likely though, at least for 2018. It will take most of six months to reassemble.

I just took the passenger horn off mine and put the bolt back with the horn and put it with the other horn. I did some sanding on the core support. There are times I wish I grabbed the '61 from out west in stead I would not have to worry about the car cancer because there would be none. ( it was the black and white car)

Looking forward to your pictures and progress reports. She is looking fine!

Virgil is a he, Bob..

I visited Virgil this afternoon. Coming along nicely but a long ways to go yet. I brought the newly painted dash parts home to reassemble once i return home from Gulf Shores.
I also replaced the padding under the dash pad. Used a section of vinyl top padding my trimmer had laying around. Worked perfect. Using a piece of scrap interior vinyl, my painter was able to obtain a exact color match on his state of the art, computerized Gucchi color scanner equipment. Once the formula is converted to mar hide he can paint the dash pad to match the interior panels.

Any updates?

I'm riding up there in a week or so to see how the metal work is progressing. I'll be starting back in on the mechanical up grades and detailing the end of Feb.

Your painter has some great skill and a nice shop!

I am so seriously jealous right now.... this is the same colour as my Dart interior.
