Sure I will take some today. I used some chemical stripe on the drivers fender today so I can see the rust spot on the lower fender by the door.

It has been striped of all lawyers of paint and rust holes, and the hood, doors, fenders have been primed. Should be done in a few weeks.

I guess I was wrong about a couple weeks to go. Now I believe it will be 2 weeks til the paint is done then it will my turn to put it back togather.

Looks great! That red's going to pop. Dash pad looks great too. Is it new or the old one recovered?? If it's recovered who did it.

It was recovered by C.A.R.S $400 if I remember right.

Looks good. I haven't started removing the chrome from my 64 yet. Do those drip moldings come off? I noticed yours were still on while you were doing the body work and paint.

I have tried taking them off other cars with no luck so I just leave them on now. They bend and kink to easy for me.

I see. I was hoping there were screws holding it on behind the weatherstripping. I haven't pulled my weatherstripping out yet cause it's all dried up and will never go back in. It'll be replaced someday, but needs to stay in for now.
