1970 T/a Pix

[Norwood]

Here are a few pics of most of my 70. It is partially wet sanded now. I hope to have it put together and buffed out some time in the next few weeks. When I was younger I trained as a body man and worked as one for a few years before I got into Tig Welding and precision sheet metal. Doing the body work and painting this car made me realize that I made the right decision so many years ago.. I HATE BODY AND PAINT.[rr]

Looks like you're doing a pretty good job though. Did you have much body work to do, or was it a minor this and that type thing?

[Norwood]

Just twenty years and three kids worth of dings and scratches. No major work, the car is all clean metal, so that makes it a little easier. I will post more pix as I go.

Looking good Craig!! I'm proud, but I have a question, do you collect tires as a second hobby?

[Norwood]

MA, Yes I do as a matter of fact. In that stack is a set of American 200s with Radial T/A's that I had on my car forever. Also in that stack is one of the original tires to my car, that if I ever get the repo Poly Glas will be going in the trunk for the spare. Quite a collection if I say so myself.

Lookin' good!

[Norwood]

Sometimes I have no patience. I buffed out the roof. If the rest of the car looks as good as this I will be pretty happy, and I see no reason that it won't.

Like glass! I love it! Add some Zaino Bros polish to that thing in a month or so, and she'll shine like crazy!

[Norwood]

Heres some new pix

I too hate body work -- no patience for it kinda like mudding and taping drywall LOL

[Norwood]

Here you go, its done

[FireBrdRestorer]

Damn that's nice, you do nice work, and there's no one more picky about paint and body work than me, except you know who seriously that's fantastic. Someone tried to sell my Wife a car just like that this past Sunday, but she said NO MORE CARS LOLOL

[Norwood]

Thanks Mike, I can tell you one thing for sure if it ever needs to be done again I am going to put it on a transport and send it to your house. I am thru, I never want to pick up a spray gun again for as long as I live. All kidding aside, I know that I am not telling you anything but the pride that you , I and others have in DOING IT OURSELVES can't be beat. Anybody can throw $$$$$ at it but it takes someone special to do it themselves. Make sure MA takes a look. I will post more pics in a week or two. Tell MA that I even cleaned the motor LOL

[FiredUp6975]

That looks Awesome Craig. But I want to see a better close up of the engine detail [smirk] Seriously the Car looks fantastic I could have had it's twin last Sunday. $19,000.

[Norwood]

MaryAnn, Thanks. If you could have really had its twin for 19,000, you should have it in your garage by now. LOL

I will post som pics as soon as the weather clears up around here. Craig

I already have to many cars, seriously thinking about selling my TA. In the process of building a new home, don't need anymore toys. And yes I'm not kidding all the car needed was a fresh paint job, $19,000 62000 original miles, it was all there and a one owner car. The guy knew me through a few car clubs, and wanted it to have a good home which it would have in my fleet, just not the right time right now.

I might have interest.

MA, I said that I cleaned the motor. I did not say that I got it to your standards. But you have to give me credit for a BIG improvment.
