Nice work John, any update ?


I haven't had time to touch the car for nearly a year, doing rust repairs on a customer's rusty Plymouth 4-door HT, as well as several jobs for a local body shop that won't do any more restoration work, and sends the owner to me. I'll find some time this fall to continue, I want to get the bare metal blasted and in epoxy primer before next rainy season.

Morgan,
I do have a number of '59 Firesweeps for parts. If Thomas buys the car, let me know what he's needing!

Finally having a chance to get back on this one.

Fabricated a lower quarter panel for the driver's side, and installed it, then replaced a section of driver's floor where the inspection cover mounts, along with numerous small holes and weak spots. Just a bit of cleaning, and I'll wheel the body outside and blast it.

What does IP68 or IP67 mean when I see it in the winch descriptions?
