Got a little further on the sail panel and worked on the hole in the trunk lid. It still needs a little massaging but its a little further.
Everything was treated with OSPHO.

Coming along nicely. I've always liked the hood pins look.
I hadn't realized they were a factory option on Swingers until
I bought my GT.
What are your plans for the hood? Scoop(s)? Matching body color or flat black?

Sail panel looks great =P~=P~and I see you attacked even more bad metal work :cheers: That little heater will surprise ya on how much heat they put out =D>
And the tail light repair worked out good homecloned :thumbrig:
As for the hood pin's :blob: I bet it was a little spooky to drill the first hole in your hood :glasses2: I would be shaking in my boots 8) Great job bud :cheers::thumbrig::thumbrig::thumbrig:

I hope I get my floor jack back today so I can run my battery cable to the front 8)

Thanks Mike. You would have cringed if you saw how I marked for the holes.
I just closed the hood a little hard to leave some impressions from the under side and drilled through the top and cleaned up with the sanding drum on my Dremel.
Get that jack back! I will do some model tinkering today on my scale garage. We have rain all day.

I have drilled and tapped the holes in the tailights and just need to repaint the silver.
 
Damn, Noel, I haven't been on in a few days for more than an hour of so and you leave me behind. Nice job on the hood pins. I can understand your heart beating fast. My first time was with a customer's fiberglass hood in a collision shop. Talk about taking some careful measurements...:-D
 
same way i did my hood pins when i replaced my hood just alittle tap did the trick x'cellent work can't wait to see the finished results
 
Your doing a great job on this homecloned, kinda deja vue for me. I'm doing the same on a '73 for son who is in the Navy, however I can't say I'm doing as good or thorough a job as you are. Great job.

Thanks everyone, I have been lazy due to some other business. Things will pick up in the next few weeks on the Swinger. Again, thanks for the interest. I am really excited to get it done.
 
Amazing work! One of my favorite threads on here.
