Do you still need that 71 300 Coupe trim ? I have it if you do

No I'm good for trim now, thanks anyway. I am sure i will come up with something else. Like white bucket seats and rear seat for a 1970 Sport Fury, hint hint.

Did some more welding then ground the welds back, sealed it all for later.

I sent a guy your way looking upper control arms. 72-73. I figured you might want to sell your spares.

FINALLY got the last of the major rust issues taken care of, yayyy. Man, this car had a whole lot more than I bargained, but it is done and I can now look forward to making it pretty.
Seems a shame to "make it pretty" with filler, primer, top coat, clear coat, wet sanding and polishing. Sure it pops but all your beautiful work will never see the light of day. A lot of guys can make it shine, but you are in a class by yourself.

Taking care of the rust issues is the fun part imo and you’ve done a fine job Gary!
Almost ready for paint!

Way to go Gary.
Gary, Have you decided on a paint color?

Thanks for the praise my friend. I'm not sure about "being in a class by myself" I know that the job could be done better , especially if I had a gas welder, and also spent more time and effort making seamless welds. For these cars though, the time taken to do such things is outweighed by how much the car is worth in the end. I could take many more months to make it "perfect" in the metal department, but the car wouldn't be worth anything more.Seems a shame to "make it pretty" with filler, primer, top coat, clear coat, wet sanding and polishing.

That is going to pop when it's painted.

Sob, sob, no "Black Velvet"...? Ok, ok, I concede. Please no vinyl top then!

It was never going to get a vinyl top again. About as much chance of that as being painted green.

LOL. God made some stuff green, so it can't be that bad a color... uh, no organized religion intended
When are you going to mount the dash cap. I know it may be way down the line, but I'd like to see pics. $200 is a lot less than $1000.
Your welding skills are awesome!
