Updated pics Flintstone mobile

I had a few hours last weekend to remove the front end and blast the rust off.

Worked a little today. finished blasting and primed it.

I plan on working from front  to back.
next week if there's time I'll start bending up floor panels and any firewall patches that need to be repaired before I replace the rockers. and finish blasting the lower front end

I placed the web address on the bottom with my info. so it'll always be there from now on.

New updated pics will be listed by date, so it will be easier to keep track of progress.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this update includes a partial primed front and a sample rocker panel i bent up.

I'm also thinking of painting the engine comp. to match my interior.
and the body black

and i almost forgot... the holes that you can still see will be repaired when the motor comes out. I'm going to leave it in as long as i can, in case i need to move the car around to work on the rockers and quarters

I've been a little behind with the holidays and those  outside lights.  lol
but i have been collecting parts for the project. Got fenders,drivers door, quarters and misc parts and some new tools

Just got done installing a radiant barrier in the garage so work can continue with heat.

Today i started measuring and bending the drivers side floor pan  don't have any pics yet. work will continue later this week with updated pics of the project

Drivers side floor and rocker repair are on the list first. (worst side) will need a few extra pieces of metal on this side
pass. side floor and rockers after that. (just a hole in the floor)
I'll keep everyone up to date this weekend.
