Lisa's Firedome Fun | ||
Author: Lisa P (Show all albums) *Make sure you look at the oldest photos first* This will be one of those project cars that will never be show quality but nonetheless, fun! I am using the Firedome as a way to learn all about welding, fabricating, painting, etc. and since the FL cars are the cars of my dreams but this was the only one I could afford, it was a good fit. I know it will never be worth (in $$$) what I put into it, but it is supposed to be FUN! |

"Princess", my 1959 Firedome 4 door sedan. Better here than in the salvage yard! Don't laugh, she runs and drives... | Yep, the bumper fell off and there is no trunk left to speak of. But the jack was in it and the metal spare tire cover! | (1 Comments) Judging by the dash pad and the steering wheel, I guess she was stored outside most of the time. | This is what was left of the driver's side rocker and sill. Yikes! | ||
An indication of what was left of the rockers and sills on both sides of the car. The doors still shut despite the lack of stability. | Passenger side rocker and sill meeting kickpanel. Not much there either. | (2 Comments) Does anyone know how to make doglegs without a shrinker/stretcher? | (1 Comments) I sure hope nobody was putting groceries in that. I have no idea what the sides are supposed to look like but I'll make something up... | ||
Looks like I'll be learning a lot about painting, fabricating, bondo, welding, more bondo, etc. | Center core support fixed, painted and installed and the hood still shuts and latches! My girls all under the age of 4 years are picking the colors : ) | Center core support rotten at the bottom, guess that would explain why the whole front clip was moving port to starboard and back! | Extra rugged sill/rocker made from 14 gauge steel tubing. | ||
