Well ,after 2-1/2 to 3 months, our 33 is done.
Man what a lot of work.
Completely stripped ,repainted and reassembled.
refitted the old insides as they were really nice.
Spent the last week fitting the windows and channels,breaking a window in the process,,no problems to get a new one cut at the local glass Co.
Just have to put the stripe on and paint the wheels.
The 33 was a one owner car until 1984, the fixed up in 85,then not toutched until I took it apart to repaint it.
It is in VERY good shape with only two super small rust spots where the back of the body meets the rear floor inside,I derusted it and sealed it up,at that time my eldest son arrived,I told him I had noted it in the log book so he could fix it in 20 yrs when he gets the 33,His reply was,Can,t you fix it now.
I told him by the time he gets the 33 it will be worn out from all the use wife Carol and I will get from it.
I,m picking wife Carol up from the airport this arfo in it,a nice surprise for her.
then out for dinner down the waterfront.
