Super cool car! Maybe a light tan interior would look good? <noscript</noscript>

Willy…That’s one of the choices on our list of colors.

I’m hesitant to ask John or Franz to do a website poll on the group of colors cause we could ended up with 2-3 pages of  talk about why or why not to have a certain color.   But I’m open to everyone’s suggestions.

Web site Poll…… 😎  😎  Thats funny… and was done soo much about 10 years ago…. 😎  Not so much anymore… 😎

I didn’t accomplish much yesterday.. I got the body transferred over to one of my body dollies… and Gave it a bath!!!  It was dirty dirty!!!  and needs me to do some rubbing on it.. it has tape residue and spots that are marred from a cover or parts storing or something…    More progress today!!! 😎

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

Washed a bunch of the storage and transport dust and muck off yesterday… 😎

 

This morning I was using this adhesive remover to get all the tape residue off the car… it was randomly everywhere. 😎

 

Then onto tapping holes for assembly prep..

Looks like we are missing a running board hole… 😎  We are missing a trim hole on the pass front 1/4 also… 😎 8-(  Them Jack points look funny also?? maybe????

 

 

Lots of good parts….. Lots of missing parts also… 😎  Franz noticed your taillights are american spec 55.. You need hearts… I haven’t seen lenses or bulb holders for these yet either… 😎  Wrong headlight switch.. this is  59 style…  I have not seen a wiper switch also…. But you have an NOS ignition switch!!!!!! 😎  😎  😎  😎  No chrome for middle of dash, also no speedo trim ring either….  Maybe there are more trinkets hiding in a box????

The speedo is SOOOOO nice and original…. Do you want it sent in and restored by Orange Empire zero’ed out and shit?

I hope we can keep some steady momentum on this project so it does not turn into a 6 year build….. 😎  😎  😎  😎  😎

Franz was saying the other day… NO project should take more than 18 months… 😎  😎  😎  Other wise the hourly rate doubles… 😎

I’d have to agree, add it up before you get started and pad that!!!  Storing projects gets overbearing, they can get chipped, dented, cats and dogs piss on it…

I stripped this ‘62 Yukon yellow Kab back to original paint and did a ton of blending for a TV programme last year – the hood was originally olive green – you could see the colour underneath in places. I think olive green would suit it well.

I’m going to send you an email later today with “the list” of everything that is missing.

We have egg shell tail lights housings…but euro car should have hearts. So we need everything.

Mary says “Thank You” for given her car a good cleaning.    Just the regular hex head bolts….I don’t know why anyone would want Allen heads.. 🙄

Please send the speedo out to Orange Empire.  Get me a list and I’ll start tracking stuff down.
