Too stupid to know that it can't be done.
Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You'll be there. I just know it.
You have to be getting excited. We have all been watching and rooting for you. If there was an award for resurrecting a car you would get all our votes.
Not quite excited yet, when I finish off all my end of the metal work and drop it off at my bodymans house, I'll be very excited, at that point it's no longer and uphill battle, it's then a down hill battle.
Gets my vote for sure.

One of the guys on fbbo used an air chisel that had been rounded with a washer welded on it to use as a depth stop. He laid out all of the channels with a marker and then put them in using the air hammer....it looked like factory.
I used a bead roller, beats the hell out of any other method, atleast in easyness

I routed a 1/2 round groove into a piece of oak to use as a form and then beat a bead into the tin with the ball of a ball peen hammer. Not bad. It was for patch panels. Wouldn't want to do a whole pan that way. Ugh.
I have an Eastwood bead roller but I found that it's a two man operation and I work solo.

I used the same Roller from eastwood, solo..............................it's a fight and an all day job alone, I clamped it to the end of a long bench with vice grips.

Well Were getting closer, Eastwood guy called me today, my stuff will be here tomorrow. I spent a few hours prepping the engine & trans to come out (sliced a bit more exhaust pipe off, removed the Speedometer cable, throttle cable, kick down linkage where it connects to the frame and steering column, cracked the motor mounts loose) Also removed the front of the heater core and started to remove it inside, So tomorrow I'll clean up all the Anti Freeze and finish removing it. I'll also start working on my back frame rails.
Ran into the previous owner today while he was out cruising, he now has another toy.
He bought a '75 Stingray that is all original and was bought new in Ontario, he had it painted and has refreshed a few things.

He still has this one too, it'll get paint this winter, it's an all original car, bought new just outside of Denver Colorado, it lived it's life 1/4 mile at a time till the 90's. 340, 7 leaf rear springs heady duty suspension and cooling package.
He told me to stop by and bring my photo album (of the Fury) after work one day next week. He's a good guy and is glad the Fury is being saved not Parted or Scrapped.

And yes, that's the same backyard my Two Plymouths lived and the Plates on the Duster were on my Plymouth before I bought it.

He also seems to have the same kind of workshop and garage as you according to the last pic. 
Nick, do you still have snow on the ground up there?

Only difference is his is permanent.
No, just non-stop rain.
Nick
Maybe it will stop raining when your vert is ready for the road.

Problem is transporting my ragtop the hour it has to go each way to the bodyshop in the rain.
