After cleaning up the car and changing the oil, I am considering finishing it If I don't sell it.

I have decided not to sell the car and finish it instead. So far I have rebuilt the top part of the steering column and replaced the wiper switch. No more phantom wipes! I took off the duct tape windshield header and started working on the permanent one. I'll post some pictures when I get a little farther along. I am already starting to think about paint color. I'm thinking about hugger orange or sticking with the black.

I decided to cut off the roll bars. I think that I am going to make something like what was on the GM convertible. Too bad the sawzall scares the kids, otherwise I would have got both of them off tonight. On the windshield header, I decided to use a truck door edge molding to finish off the cut part of the roof panel and I will use an aluminum sheet (1/8") or hardboard to finish off the back side. I have some trimming to do on the roof. I hope I can get it done in the next few days, but it is hard to get anything done with the kids around.

Here are a couple of pictures of my recent progress. The drivers side roll bar is gone, I started closing up the windshield gap with steel ( will be covered up with a trim piece) and worked on the b panel cover. I am goofing around with cardboard for the shape and I think I am going to make the covers out of sheet metal and cover them up with vinyl.

I am glad to see this thread resurrected. I followed this thread/build from the start. You have a unique car, and are doing a great job on it.

Any new progress Crow ?

One of my favorite projects on the forum. It has me focused on a future goal.

Well,
It's been almost a year since I did anything on the car. If anyone is interested in buying the car let me know. Cjac76@comcast.net. I am looking for around $3,000. I'll put it in the mall as well.

Last year I changed my mind about selling it and thought I might want to finish it. I've owned the car since august of 1994 and it means a lot to me (at least it used to). Well, another year went by and I haven't touched it. If anyone is interested, let me know. I am asking $2,500 or best offer. I don't check pm's. Please email me at cjac76@ comcast.net.

Thanks,
