My son-in-law and I worked hard in June and July for several days. We got the body off, frame and motor mounts redone and the body back on. Since then travel, duck and goose hunting and the need to finish up a prior commitment to an MG ZB Magnette have limited progress to some preliminary paint prep work. I hope to get that done and the car painted by Spring. Hopefully back on the road by June, we'll see.
Two coats of rust bullet on the frame, first silver and then black.
Floor boards calked and painted:
Engine in frame, and then with body on:
The Iris Blue was a test coating, I am going to use a darker blue in the end. |
Welding the motor mounts. |
Miata seats, they looked good at first but seem too high with the body on. |
This bent throttle rod was par for the course with the carb rebuild guy I selected. SU Carbs is a fraud. |
The '58 ZB came along pretty well, I need to have some trim re-chromed and then she should be done, as done as they ever are anyway. |
