Dad's stang...

Here something I found that my dad had taken I think last year. This is where it lived for many years.

went over there tonight, and the right side inner fender well is ready to weld on tomorrow, then I will paint it with the Eastwood rust stuff that Crash got, then probably Tuesday or Wednesday CT will weld on the right quarter panel, and begin working on the drivers side
 
Ok I went up and saw the car last night and visited with CT and my brother.

Here is CT workin away removing a quarter panel.

Here are the rear inner fender wells--ya they are shot.

He got the passenger side done. He didn't cut all the way up into where the inner structure meets the fenderwell and it made sense as to why he did what he did. Why replace good sheetmetal.

One of the replacement 1/4 panels.

Don and CT decided to pull the windshield.

CT was concerned with rust around the windshield and yup--a couple pinholes. Ct made it sound like no big deal to take care of.

The doors my dad had picked up were a little rough(but FAR better than the origional ones). One of the doors had a small hole in it so CT fixed it.

And some mud on that door.

And my bro Don working away---makeing a mess(he's gotten quite goods at that---muhahahaha)
 
Ct went and got the passenger fender pulled off.

They were going thru the car and finding more areas of rust--nothing drastic just a little more work to kill it. Ct seemed that it wasn't too bad and no biggie.

So CT has to pull the drivers fender and replace the drivers fenderwell. At that point he said he will be ready to get the 1/4 panels on.

I talked with him last night to get a rough idea of a timeline for me to get it back--he roughly figured 4 weeks.
 
okay got out there today, CT has the right quarter panel welded on, and is beginning to bodywork the right side as he has the right side all lined up, and tomorrow he will get the left wheelhouse cut and ready to patch, I was unable to get any pictures that I can transfer easily, but did get some cell phone pics to share with Bob tomorrow at dinner
 
So the left rear quarter is on and I believe the right one is now on as well and CT was getting ready to do the filler panel between the rar window/trunk.
