Hang in there. I am sure that there are things to do. What about seats?
Dennis. That's his name.
- Thread starter '69FuryIIIConvertible
- Start date
One set is sitting in my basement in original flawless condition ready to be installed, the other set is 90% complete by my upholsterer. I have two sets of good door panels, two sets of good arm rests, two rear package trays, rubber floor coverings, brand new headliner, two different mint steering wheels, two sets of seatbelts.....etc the problem is, without coinage or gas, I can't move forward..
Spent all morning on the phone trying to find a bottle of gas...... All the commercial companies are closed here until further notice.... I finally found one place with 2 bottles.... Next closest place that had stock was in North Bay (4 hours from me)
So I bit the bullet and bought the second one..
I don't want to talk about what I paid, but basically. I sacraficed doing other parts of the car in favor of the gas... (ie the new tires, and the exhaust for now)

North Bay... I know where that is. My boss has a camp up that way. It's a 45 minute boat ride to the camp.
While it's a nice area to visit, an 8 hour round trip wasn't my ideal choice to get some shielding gas that as it was ended up running me nearly $650.

I'm sorry to read that Nick. You'd think places like Messer and Praxair would be deemed essential services. From a glass half full perspective maybe it is an opportunity to spend some quality time with your better half.
I was lucky enough to rob TSC for the last two bottle of Argon on southern Ontario.
Nick, at the same time, I am taking a break for a few days...
After a hiatus of a bit to prevent burn out... We are back at our regularly scheduled time...
This restoration brought to you in part by the letters "W", "T", and "F"
As in WTF is wrong with me.....
Anyway...
I couldn't leave good enough alone as I strive for perfection , so I started chopping out metal....
I wasn't happy with how thin and soft this piece was... So to my donor chunks I went...
Off came the door for clearance and space to work....
"Put da evidence in da car"
"But daddy"
"PUT da evidence in da car junior"
Then I fired up the old Lincoln and burned some 50+ year old steel... Mmmm baby..
Stay tuned folks...
More on the next episode of "the masochistic and the restless"

The only way this thread could be better is if it was a movie.

Okay.... Finally getting some stuff done in the garage again, yesterday was a day of heading up to my folks and getting some more done for them, today was cleaning up my yard at home and appeasing my better half so I can use tomorrow to do as much as I can.....
Put the corner back together after chasing parts most of the day.

I saw those...
The problem with June-August for me is that I become extremely busy doing things outside of the garage...
The second problem I have is the temperature in the garage, whatever the temperature outside is, you can add 5-10 degrees to it inside the garage, and unfortunately it suffers from a serious lack of air flow.
That being said, I am still trying to pick away at things...

After months of being sidetracked with other projects and life...I began digging out Dennis, a task of its own...
Next was a few days of planning and assessing what I had done and what I needed to do..I also measure and referenced everything that I had done so far to check for accuracy...so far so good..
