Welcome aboard - I don't technically own an A body yet either as I'm still in research before buying mode. Lots of good folks here

Welcome - That looks like a great project! Keep us posed on your progress - we love progress photos

I'm in Ontario also - can I ask what your source for suspension parts is?

Great looking project and progress. That cowl job sure looked like major, major surgery. I'm considering a 65 that needs a floor and cross member. Is there any way I can tell if the inner cowl is shot too?

Were the exhaust manifolds painted the block color like this one at the factory?

May I suggest going to see a naturopath? I don't believe doctors know enough about depression to prescribe meds. Not only that, there are natural remedies and ways of preventing and controlling depression. Changing environment (social and physical) diet and exercise can all have tremendous...

Great find on the Dart, but I'm more amazed at your shop!! Dude, that is SICK!!

I've been in contact but have yet to see it. Owner says the car is savable and is letting it go because he has too many projects. I'm hoping to go tomorrow and will take photos if I do. If I decide to pass, I will let you know.

Never heard of it before. Someone mentioned TSC as a Hobart supplier. I've noticed the TSC near me has really stepped up their inventory on machines, consumables and welding/fabricating tools. Hobart is a very good brand, its Miller's econo line now. (farm and hobby line) In my opinion as a...

Mopwers, thats looking badass - mini tubs?

Sounds like that's a flux core only machine. (Says optional conversion kit avail). Flux core has its purposes around the farm, but not suitable for bodywork or more precision work. The Thermal Arc 3in1 welder line are the best thing since sliced bread. If you ever want to learn how to TIG weld...
