Hi all
Haven't posted for a while, but here is where I am at with rebuilding the GT. Included are what it looked like before I learned how to weld and swear, and after /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The floors are all done. If I do it again, I won't patch as much and just replace the entire floor, but they are sure good and solid.

Next week I need to finish the threshold dogleg curves and start working on the front fenders.

Thanks for looking.

Only one thing I can say, Paul:

Boy, that was a lot of rust. I'm impressed with the progress!
 
Very impressive indeed. Are you going to paint it yourself?

Wow! That one heck of a project, but it looks like your well on your way. I hope that garage is heated...I gotta winter store the 58 tomorrow and do some work on the 61...Not looking forward to freezin my nuts off!

Hundreds of em /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I need to put the better ones in order and set up a seperate album. I will post it when I get a chance Tony.
Thanks for all the positive responses. That makes the task even more satisfying.

Very nice work. More guts than me tackling that rust.
 
Nice goin' Paul! Good to know there are still those of us whack enough to DO the work required to save these li'l tin rustbuckets. Commendable.
 
I think Paul and Frank (spritenut) must live close and have a contest going.

Some job guy, good going.
 
Satisfying, heck. We are impressed with folks that save little cars against all odds. Not only that but have the skills to do so.
