Expert Posts: 2634 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I got my window felt kit, I also cleaned and polished some of the stainless steel. I will do more on 1 of my off days off of work. I wanted something to do so I chose this. I got more to do so this is a start .My dad will repair the dents on the trim . He did on my other '61. About a week ago I took it out for a short drive down the street I live on but now there is no more drives the charger is blocking it in. Here is a video of the drive https://youtu.be/wXwpOwtuav8 Edited by 1961plymouthfury 2015-05-18 11:36 PM (WP_20150518_006.jpg) (WP_20150518_004.jpg) (WP_20150518_008.jpg) (WP_20150518_009.jpg) (WP_20150518_007.jpg) Attachments ---------------- WP_20150518_006.jpg (201KB - 274 downloads) WP_20150518_004.jpg (192KB - 280 downloads) WP_20150518_008.jpg (191KB - 248 downloads) WP_20150518_009.jpg (266KB - 273 downloads) WP_20150518_007.jpg (211KB - 263 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2634 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I know there has not been that much progress lately. I have been looking for things to do on the car. A friend of my dad has his metal cutter as soon as he gets it back the rust will be cut and the new metal will be welded on. I did some cleaning on the center piece that goes on the trunk if you notice the piece that is missing off the middle it came lose so my dad removed it and its in the glove box of my'61 I put it there for the time being (WP_20150612_001.jpg) (WP_20150612_002.jpg) (WP_20150612_003.jpg) Attachments ---------------- WP_20150612_001.jpg (186KB - 234 downloads) WP_20150612_002.jpg (131KB - 264 downloads) WP_20150612_003.jpg (172KB - 264 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2634 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I am sorry there has not been much done on the car lately. A friend of my dad borrowed his metal cutter. My mom will be visiting her sister and bring it back some time in July then more progress will be done, I need to ask a question : Will a bottom rear quarter panel to a 1960 plymouth fit my car with no problems . I would like to find a parts exchange book for these forwardlooks. I believe I had 1 but it got burned up in the fire . I noticed the rear fender design is the same but I want to be sure if this will work. I am also trying to find more things to do on the car . | ||

Expert Posts: 2634 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I know some folks here will try to talk me out of this but the decision has been made. In stead of repainting my current '61 red and white ( I even did the math) I found out if would cost less to repaint it 1 color only. I chose black. I am doing this as a tribute to the black '61 fury I lost in the fire back in 2014. I hope someday to find a front bumper guard for the car. Please do not try to talk me out of this my mind is made up | ||

Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Not talking you out of anything, Steph, but you are fortunate to have garaging available to you, and that you do not live in the hot, sunny (-brutal) Southwestern US.....where your opinion about the relative merits of living with a black car might be different from those who live in the Central-Eastern US. Black IS the most dramatic 'color', of all....if a person can afford to 'live' with that hue in their life. | ||
