Re: 72 T/A progess
The roof. It seems that whoever repainted the car many years ago thought that taking the old decal stripe off the roof was a bit too labor intensive, so they just bondoed it over, repainted it, and then applied a new decal on top.
 It took a bit of extra work to get the roof flat again.

Progress, progress, progress. Remember, you have an offer of an extra pair of hands if needed after it comes home! Just make sure the coffee is on.

Re: 72 T/A progess
Dust in a body shop is inevitable, but I feel so bad for the bottom of that TA... you slaved over every last detail... Does look straight though Steve!

Re: 72 T/A progess
Dust I can clean off. I will be getting the body back once all the sheetmetal work is complete and in primer. That way I can dust it off and install the rest of the exhaust, the fuel tank, fuel lines, etc.
I was dead in the water for a while due to the trunk floor not having been fixed, so ENOCH decided to replace the trunk floor, so I could do some more stuff on it myself. When he decided to keep going after fixing the trunk floor, I wasn't about to stop him.  Here are some shots from this morning. They carefully masked off the underside to keep the overspray away and primered (with low air pressure) the small section underneath the trunk floor. Eventually the "newer" red primered section will be very hard to tell from the original primered area. Plus, the majority of the replaced trunk floor section is blocked from view by the gas tank.

Re: 72 T/A progess
Some more recent progress on the car. They are hanging the doors and pre-aligning the front end sheet metal. Looks like a whole lotta block sandin' going on.

Re: 72 T/A progess
Well she is home now. I picked her up this afternoon so I can put the exhaust, gas tank and lines etc., back in. And also to let the body work set and shrink a few weeks too.
   When I backed the rig into my driveway I heard a hissing sound from one side of the trailer and a jingling sound from the other. The hiss was a small bolt stuck in the tire. I was able to patch that pretty easily. This is what the "jingling sound" was:  Look a little closer in the holes. You can see a bizarre brake drum problem.  The brake drum cracked and sheared off the hub. All the brake components remained intact but the drum kind just spun happily along with the wheel and hub. I guess its time to change all the hub/drum assemblies $$$
