Rick,

Now looking back.....it was a good thing that all your pictures were erased....as you now have made this thread even better....your pictures are way better the second time.

You made a Bad Outcome into a Very Good One....well done!

Dan

Agree this thread is twice as nice now.

I like the ones showing the huge hole in the quarter panel. I love the hole story :/)

Wow! When you are done you will have something to be proud of. Just like I was.
You and Annie have hit it out of the park, again. You only have one way of doing them though.

I've not been following this thread all along, so I am getting caught up. The level of craftsmanship going into this build is simply amazing. I am in awe of the skill level and attention to detail.

Here we have restored the kick panels, vents, seals and plating. I had to replace one kick panel (not pictured) due to it being an tooth sharpening board for a vermin but the other one was in good shape and cleaned up well so I just replaced the one side. Very labor intensive but the only way to do it right. Most "restoration" shops clean these up but do not rebuild them. Much like the rest of their "restorations".

Here is the restoration of the wiper transmission arm. For the 1st ever I sent a batch of wiper motors to Steve Hackel as I cannot do them in house for anywhere close to what he charges and was very happy with the results.

I hope some will learn from your thread on what the word restoration is supposed to imply. As in all the attention and time that must go into all the sub components you have shown here in great detail.
This is the best build thread I have ever followed, thanks for sharing with us Rick and Annie

Mike
