Stop in for a cup of coffee

I'm fighting the same battle on this 63 Fury but I will win even if I have to beat the crap out of it.
customer car? have you posted pics? I dig 63's..... I actually built my car in a way i knew i would hate it. Eventually i will put in the 2.94 gears... single exhaust and make it a cruiser :)
 
Well.. when i bought the car it came with rust free arizona fenders.. that of course i didn't prefit.. i painted them and then WTF... it seems they shipped on a pallet that someone put a much heavier pallet on top of :(

Drivers fender was banana'd in both directions... i beat the piss out of it to get it to fit... it's not too bad.. the passenger though was like 1.25" high at the top bodyline... i couldn't think of anyway to fix that.. so i jumped up and landed my fat *** on it and it dropped down just bout right.. and left a small dent.

what sucks is.. i trashed my original fenders bout 3 weeks before i tried putting these on.. if i had kept them i would have cut these up to patch the originals.

No big thing... wish i loved this car.. it' just makes me mad soo far
Totally understand that. I just take a break from trying to fit the parts together and find the bent spot and fix it if I can.
 
up early today, but no time to post,,,I'm dealing with my lender to get funds released for the new roof on my building. like getting blood out of a turnip it is!
then setting up a pickup with Carvana regarding my jeep sale.
ever try humour a golden retriever when they think it is your job to play with them?

Good news Is I finally got back on the 318 Install,, Touchdown occurred at 3:00 p.m.
after planning for three years! I hope the pictures are entertaining,
I can now sit I think for the morning coffee,and likely cold by now.

Have a great rest of your day guys!

I sold my 92 Van just yesterday. But had 3 different ones wanted to live in it and one was in my driveway. I Hate selling off FB Market place but where else can you go. Craigslist is the same

Yeah. i have a bunch of parts on there right now... Almost made my money back on my 360 block by selling off parts. I put right in my ads that low ball offers will be ignored and blocked....

Yea I posted pictures but still the hood to fender wouldn't fit and the only way I could figure out how to fix it was to shim the crap out of it but then the grill wouldn't fit right. Took a break and found the problem. Left front fender was bent in on the front. No damage on the fender but it is bowed in. I'll porter power it into shape and it will fit.

On mine the inner vertical part where the fender bolts to the apron was bent way in... had to pound the hell of out it and still shim like 3/8"... my front end was pinched almost a full inch..

Bigger hammer or porta power is even better.
