Well I just finished painting her and now the wet sanding begins[yuck] I started this about 3 months ago and now begin the task of reassembly.The dreaded headliner is next then onto the glass and interior. Ive been following this forum for advise and appreciate it from you that have helped.This is my 1st non ford resto,and have had to ask alot of question and am sure ill be asking more.

Wow Paul, it's looking great. I love the color. BTW - where did you get your ducktail and how do you like the fit?

[Jack Olsen]

Well, it's definitely improving! Great color. How much rust repair did you have to do?

[72 four door]

The Tail came with the car the fit is so so i had to shim it up.

I had to replace the front suspension pan. The car sat for awhile under a pine tree and the tub is perfect which for an east coast car is hard to believe.

awesome! inspires me to get off my ass and get mine done

[thrown_hammer]

I really like the ducktail with the "S" front spoiler. Looks balanced.(Imay be biased) Another Pelican ressurection!

Thanks the color and the fact that it was hurtin drew me to this car The tail came out pretty good concidering the chips and cracks in it. Its hard to believe this car only had 50.000 miles on it.

Base clear want to help sand??????????? I had to apply 5 coats of color and 3 clear. But as everyone knows its about the sanding I started w/1200 and now im on 1500 Ill finish w/2000 its a brutal job.

Paul, Great Job!
I see you were able to get hold of a welder for the floor plan. How did it work out?

[72 four door]

Rick it worked out great he replaced both top and bottom for 1000.00 so after the purchace of the car and the materials im into it for 5500 but i still have engine upgrades and a future clutch to do.

Looks good!! I love seeing the process of resurecting a long hood.

[zymurgist]

Sweet! I love that look... long hood with a ducktail...

[72 four door]
