As a tech, I worked on many of these as no serviced the diff, but mostly turn ups and rebuilding carbs. Yes, I does take an acre to make a “U” turn. 4 people could sleep comfortably, same with a 1965 Chrysler Fury III four door. A buddy of mine destroyed that car after he wanted to barrow it. Never loan out your car! He started to fall asleep and hit the edge of a county bridge with concrete sides. He peeled 14” - 16” of drivers side sheet metal from front fender, door 1, door 2 and half of the quarter panel. You could see the windows and regulators...and they all still worked. ASE Master Tech since 1978-Retired.

Very nice. As they say, "more than one way to skin a mule". This way works very well for you and I sure like to see someone really try to get it as perfectly straight as possible. My hats off to you Sir! Tom

Way out west! I am in eastern Oklahoma and had 1 inch of snow today and is supposed to be down to 5 degrees in the morning. Burr. I just saw where they had terrible tornados in Alabama and several people lost their lives. Prayers for all that lost loved ones and property. We are in tornado alley and I have had tornados as close as a quarter mile from me. Too dang close! Whew. Keep up the good work. Are you self trained or did you work in a shop somewhere? Take care. Tom

@@Okie-Tom I figured u were in Oklahoma by the name! Too cold and too close to tornadoes for me man! Self trained here Sir!
@Okie-Tom5 жыл бұрын
Ratsnest Hotrods , well for self trained you do excellent work. I know a couple of brothers that are a few miles west of me that have a body shop, but their specialty is very high end Mustangs. Several of theirs have been on Barrett Jackson auctions. Some rare ones have cost over $250,000.00 to completely restore. They have a painter that goes by Skeeter. Can that guy spray paint. He is so good at color matching as well. I presently am working on a 29 Model A for my sister. It was a rust bucket. Everything was wore out. I am right now working on making and installing patches for the front fenders. Very time consuming making rounded patches with the wire edge. Talk later.
