Marley's Windshield










Worked around the glass. Didn't take as long as I thought it would. Didn't break... Whew!! I also started taking interior trim out. A lot to get yet. Pieces were in great condition too. Glad the back window trim is good. Just needs a wipe is all.

Marley's Transfer




Dad came over to load Marley. It is nice having the space in my garage again so I can work on other components of the car.

Just a taste. Rumble.

The New Sunroof?










My father in law came to measure, mark, and cut the roof. Wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. We now have to bring Marley over (my 68 parts car) and make the surgery complete. We'll put on new braces too from Marley.

Deck pan







Hard to tell really in the photo, but the deck pan was warped bad from the blaze. Probably the hardest hit, or the metal was thinner than the car. That is my opinion; the replacement pan was not a 300.00 usual purchase. I got a 100.00 special. I guess it wasn't heat resistant. Can you guess which one I'll be getting this time?? What? The 100.00 one again. I don't plan on driving through fires often.

Door patch
















The window cranks are simply frustrating trying to get everything out and aligned again. I switched the vent window first. Then I moved to fixing the bottom of the driver's door. Wasn't too difficult, just took a few moments.

Driver Fender Patch



















Dad and I went to work on the driver's fender. Being a patch, and not a factory patch, it can get funky with the alignment. We put the door back on for now to line up the body lines. We took half a brace from an older fender and placed it where it needed to go. From this point I can get the filler on next weekend.
