Just noticed . . . after a year, a different hat, and a different spray gun!! Rog
awesome job.... cant wait to restore mine its slow going tho this thread keeps me energized to work on the ole girl. I'm a 4dr fan too...i think its because everyone hates em. i wish i still had my 66 fury 4dr...
Well,I have to say this has been one of the most enjoyable reads I've read from beginning to end !!!! Awesome job despite all the pitfalls !! You've taken on far more than I could imagine doing with great results !!!ENJOY,I have !!!:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:
John. Great job painting. please tell me you have marker light to replace the broken\missing ones! I will feel bad as a few weeks ago I got rid of a whole set.:angry7:
Hey John, if ya give Betty a hand, you can get Fern finished up so we can see the finished product! lol just kidding. Anxiously waiting for finished pictures. Great job. :cheers:
now just get you some early style side marker lights and smooth those in and get rid of the 'stick' on marke lights..
Too bad you didn't just weld those up. I'm not a big fan of the 72 and up marker lights. I remember trying to take them off my 72 and breaking the mounting points. I just siliconed them back in place.
Oh by the way really nice driveway paint job....I would of probably had more than one run in the paint..probably a few wasp..nats and flys...now about them bumpers.. I little sectioning and tucking..get rid of the shock absorber things...
I commend you on a great job and also a great thread!! I was worried after you had to part ways with BOF that this thread would also go away, but you have moved on and there are greener pastures out there for you John. keep up the faith and hard work in your daily endeavours and it will all come back to you tenfold. You are a stand up guy and I believe the road ahead will get easier for you and ABB. If you need anything P.M. me. I will help out if I am able.
I appreciate the offer John and my offer still stands if you are going through a tough time. Just contact me. Actually I am attempting some of my own bodywork on the Duster and have just spent the weekend stripping and sanding and priming a set of doors to replace the aging ones on my car. I must admit that body work is not my strong suit. But anyway it is going OK otherwise. I could put you up and pay you if you would be interested in a trip to beautiful N.C. to help me out on some rear quarter work.
Looks Great!! I saw a thread that you were selling it. Why????
She is a long way from where you started.
Just read through the whole thread and wow you are a character! I love all the funny captions! Unfortunately I was one of those guys who look at 4drs and say "too bad it's a 4dr". but after this thread I have a greater respect for people who love their cars no matter what they are. I bought a 69 4dr dart that an old lady owned and parked it after the tranny went out I plan on using it for parts, but its all there I would feel bad dismantling it. But I can't have both base housing only lets me have so many vehicles! Awesome thread!! Oh yeah the MOD top is sweet love it!
You are an enduring and resourceful guy, you have the "tools" to get through. I pray you get all the breaks you deserve to keep right on cruising!! The very best to you John and ABB for the holidays and in the future. Rog
