Sweet. I noticed it’s a semaphore car.

Yeah!! ‘58 rag. euro spec car. Will go back to stock color, L334 glacier blue.

Made progress this weekend. Had to bend up a couple repair sections for the pass heat channel. 

Moved on rear parcel tray repair. 

Couple more small patches and I can put the bottom cap on. Started poking at rear body mounts. Those will have to be done as well.

We will build it if it comes.

You’re going to have that body one solid chunk in no time! Great work Pat!

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

I wonder if Pat is thinking a stock resto??  Or lowered custom??  I think he likes the stock color… which slips my mind at the moment….

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

Getting there. Heater channels are done!

Just finished burning in pass rear body mount this morning. Sectioned out the square shock bolt hole in the aftermarket panel to the correct round hole. 

We will build it if it comes.

Spent some time on this yesterday. Body mount was in the wrong spot on the aftermarket section, leaning forward and about 1” to far back at the bolt hole.

Drilled out the spot welds and relocated to the correct spot. Sectioned in the correct shock bolt hole. Fit and ready to burn in.

We will build it if it comes.

Nice work Pat!  Lots of people would’ve just left it, but that’s a nice fix and ‘good to know’ for the rest of us 🙂
