Today one small pack arrived for car and it´s POR-15 but unfortunately it´s so cold in the garage that I have to wait for spring to use it

Anyway soon there should come another pack from LRS with some cool stuff. Thank you for that POR-15 advice!

That stuff works, I used it on my rear, 2 years ago still looks like I just did it. How's the zinc plate hold up after awhile?, I may need to find a place to do it.

Bye the way, I sailed past your sline a long time ago, nice but it was winter and cold. I would love to see the area again.

Guys who did zinc plating told me that I never (like next 25 years) don´t have to think about rust if I zinc and paint them. So I think I zinc everything I can.
You did ? Next time stop here too and take a look around. If you should ever come here again let me know. Nice to see people discovering the world.

There was more parts actually and other parts were for sale so I don´t know how much was shipping only for those 3 parts.

Hy everyone, I haven´t had time for my car for a long time so now I got one free day and did few things. I packed my quarter windows and door glasses. I took off headers, transmission linkage drilled out all the rivets in doors and took out door glass motors , locks. Remowed hood and tomorrow hoping to get the transmission out and cut rear glass off.
Few pics of car when I pushed it out to breath some fresh air.

Thanks
To daminc : I have no experiance with body work, I´m engine builder but I´ve always been intrested of bodywork but I want perfect body so I would just mess it up and I´ll have to send it to the bodyshop. If you have some good advice then all advices are welcome.

Hy a little progress is going on all the time but don´t have all the pics of the car. So I took off intake and cyl. heads and bought two 6 ton jack stands. Maybe I´ll buy two more but right now it´s good to remove rear end and front end. I have looked out the right body shop for me so if body is clean then all the body panel will be changed in body shop.
