Extreme Veteran Posts: 424 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Although, black is my first choice for a 61 ply a factory red one would be a very close second. Either way I'm looking forward to the finished car. I will be starting the tear down on mine this spring if it ever stops raining that is! | ||

Expert Posts: 2414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Minor Hill, TN | Does any one here use a MacBook Air and is there a way to resize the photos and post them here ? If there is will some one here please show me ? I got the inside of the trunk and hood lid painted I also have a new hood pad the original 1 could not be saved . I just started working on the engine compartment sanding it and getting ready for paint . My front brakes also locked up on me again so I will be converting to front disc brakes. My previous '61 had front disc brakes and I never had the problem with the brakes locking . My dad is getting the kit for me as a birthday present. | ||

Expert Posts: 2414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Minor Hill, TN | That is the inside of the trunk . I also had the inside of the hood painted and I had to install a new hood pad for the inside I was not able to save the original . That went in to file 13. I am now working on the engine compartment . I am also putting front disc brakes on the car since my other 1s locked up again . | ||

Expert Posts: 2414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Minor Hill, TN | Yes it will do a lot but its getting there . The car even had to be sand blasted in some parts because of the car cancer. I remember when my dad sanded of the bondo from the quarters down to the metal 1 part is when some one welded a piece of metal over metal that had cancer . I also wet sanded inside the doors I also got to wet sand the fenders. I will do those on my off days . I got to work today and tomorrow Monday and Tuesday are vacation days the next 2 are off days. I will try to upload the photos again Attachments ---------------- ![]() | ||

Expert Posts: 2414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Minor Hill, TN | My dad is tearing down the poly 318 . He put a new timing chain and gear set on . He cleaned some gunk out of the engine . When I did my start ups before this I poured some marvel mystery oil in the crank case. He wants me to have the starter checked to see if it is still OK . I purchased gaskets and seals for the car from rock auto when they had a close out sale for parts for my '61 . | ||

Expert Posts: 2414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Minor Hill, TN | The poly 318 will be getting over hauled it needs new rings and bearings seals and gaskets. | ||

Expert Posts: 2414 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Minor Hill, TN | I had a pioneer am/fm /CD player on layaway at Walmart. I just picked it up yesterday, It will be installed after the restoration is complete. I am sure some will ask why the reason is I do not want just an AM radio I want to be able to listen to my CDs in the car. I am debating to have it installed in the glove box under the dash or under the seat and turn it on by the factory radio.. I will ask the installer to install the radio and do the wiring of the speakers but I will ask my dad to hook it up for me. It will also go to the tint shop when I get back on the road. | ||

Expert Posts: 3900 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | get as small as a player as you can. i will convert my radio i think. I have to keep the old look, put yours in your glovebox and use a smartphone to control it. | ||
