My 71 is heading for the Shop

looking good Rick....

I am really enjoying following your project along Rick. Thanks for sharing all the info and photos.

Rick,

It has been a while since you posted.

Have you been working on the 1971 TA during the holidays or did you take some time off?

I was wondering how the body panels and finish work is going before the paint goes on?

Judy and I spent the last two weeks in Las Vegas with our Grandson Landon and his parents (Kara and Jamie). I posted some pictures on page 5 of this post of the completed primed panels. They really came out nice. I won't beable to make it back to the shop until January 14th. The body should be finished by then and ready for paint. I will be working with Jim on finishing the sanding all the other body parts (Doors, Fenders, Hood, and Noise). Hope to have the painting finished by mid February and all back to gether and Home by the end of March.

Rick, we need and update from you about your car......

Well let me start with THIS NEW ENGLAND WINTER REALLY SUCKS!

Most of the progress has been small things: replacing both the front windshield and rear window, removing and refinishing the power window assemblies, and receiving more parts (new carpet, new driver and passenger windows, and a million other small parts). Hope to get the door mechanical parts installed (power window assemblies and power locks). Maybe even get the hood and fenders installed.

I was surprised at just how bad they were and even more surprised that the worked at all.

Well I got the power window assemblies installed today.

Any update Rick?

Power Window Assemble, Power Locks, and New Door Glass installed and working (ALL Glass is New).
Fenders, Hood, and Noise installed and aligned.
Carpet, Dash, Front and Rear Console installed.
Back Seat Installed.

It's going to look fantastic when you get it back on the road.

Can't wait to see it in person!

She's coming back together great! It looks like the fun is about to start.

Nice paint Rick.... When do you think it will be finished?

I'm hoping to have her home in two weeks.

"I'm hoping to have her home in two weeks."

That's the same thing they told me about my car ... two weeks....lol
