Update on the Granny Project:

Man is thing solid..!!! Took out the front seat and rubber floor mats tonite....only one word "MINT". My guy Tim has removed the rear bumper, tail lights and the b/s moldings. Only have the front fender Nova emblems to go and few other little items...he said it is a pleasure to work on a car where you don't need a 1/2" drive air ratchet to take it apart. The rear bumper bolts came off with a 1/4" air ratchet

seat belt bolts were effortless

if anyone needs any photos of original stuff for resto let me know...this car is the perfect benchmark for that info.

This a great shot of the "GREEN" ookumpucky that was used @ Willow Run to seal the floor plugs, very different from the Camaro's, kind of spongy too.
Tom, very neat car, and I hijacked a couple of you shots

Thanks Mike

"Green ookumpucky" That's a new one. Good description.

The southern Illinois deviation to the word is 'ickempucky'. My Dad used that term to describe some kind of substance they used at the implement dealer where he worked when I was a little punk (like Frankie). It was a cross between a lubricant and adhesive.

I don't recall what it was used for but my Mother hated the stuff. Stunk to high heaven and was impossible to get out of clothes.
