68 GT convertible project
The body shop is ramping up to really get started on the car. The doors and fenders are off. The rockers look good. The inside structure of the fenders looks good as well. It looks like the rust is limited to the outer sheet metal on those.
The door striker areas have been fixed and bracing is being installed so the car can be bolted to the rotisserie.
I found the quarter panel patches I needed at Carlisle. I got lucky because they were discontinued last year. Stephen's Performance still had a few pairs left. I noticed there were a lot of variations in the color of Q1 at the show. Spray outs will be done this week to match the original color still on the A-pillars. Once that's done, the rest of the car will be blasted.
I flew out to Carlisle so I couldn't get all the parts I wanted. I basically got a lot of small pieces that I could fit into my checked bag. I got a lot of w/stripping, body plugs, body bumpers, battery cable, interior/exterior door handles and side mirrors. I found a starter splash shield, K-member to rad support brace and a trunk latch all on a $1 tarp. Hopefully the splash shield is an A-body piece. If not, it was only $1.
