Ok, here is where I will talk about that car.
Car Guy, its a 76, and I am considering selling it, complete.
I sent you some pics, but I am still only considering it, like David said, we want these things to be for folks who show a genuine interest, and not just for the money. You know the deal.

I've got tons of pictures of it... I'll try to get the 3rd owner's page up for Randy at latest by mid-morning tomorrow.
David
Randy, can you send them to me here at this job- francis.makula@wfsb.com . I'd like to see it. My other address is my house- won't be home until late. thanks
Sent you an email.
David will get more up on the site soon.
I also emailed you some details to your other address.
"Randy"
Thanks- I got the pics at work- I'm leaving soon. I'll check the house e-mail later. I sent you a couple responses back
David
Dave- you are quick. Good shots, do you have any others of this car. Motor, interior, anything?? Was the back of the door extended to take up the rear flare that was there??. You do a great job with the page setups- I hope mine will come out as good!!! Excellent
Thanks David! another excellent job! I really appreciate it.:-)
"Randy"
Actually that page setup sucks... it's just a quickie so you can see the pictures. Yes, I do have a few more pictures of it.
David
Oh... Randy can you shoot me some text describing the car, for the page. Thanks!
David
Just as soon as I get a chance. I wish I had more info on this car, but I will get you what I know.

Just in from the garage. This 75 degree weather is great! I know it is ending Saturday, but what a rush, springtime since Christmas!
Anyway here is some progress.
This car used to belong to Fred Flintstone. First thing I did was clean it up and fiberglass over all the holes in the floor, whew!
I have modified the floor using old aluminum road signs. I cut them, bended them, and riveted them in where the old floor used to be.
The White stuff you see is Autobody seam sealer, I used it to level the floor and to seal it up. That step wasnt necessary, but It made the installation a little cleaner. When the car goes on the lift, I will undercoat the floor pans to make it look good, Definately not to hide anything, just to make it look presentable.
Installation came out pretty good.
I have some insulation to install over the floor and its ready for rugs.

"Randy"
Also, during this time, I have finished the door jamb area.
It is ready for primer and then its time to reinstall the door.
It came out better than hoped. Again, the white is seam sealer.
Looks like hell until it gets some paint on it.

Wow ! your crankin' along. Must be nice... I got 6 inches of snow yesterday+ spent my morning snowblowing out! I'll trade you. My projects are hibernating until spring. Although I have a big show next month. The fun part is driving there, then getting it show-ready. I cant wait to see it primered. I wish I had the money now, before you put too much into it, then you Really wont sell it, or you'll want too much. I want to see whole shots of the interior and motor. Or any more pics at this point. The floor looks great. Nice bends. I used a stop sign once too. Nice aluminum. Solid. Keep up the good work!!
Updated Randy's pages... still not done... got a bunch more "in-progress" photos and some misc stuff.
David
Man, I'm impressed! Your talent amazes me. You ought to do computer stuff for a living!:+
Just logged on this morning to see this, man, what a neat birthday present.
"Randy"
That's what it is... saw an old message from Harry wishing you a HB on this day in the past... :+
David
Added more... make sure you click on "Garage" }>
If you want anything changed, just let me know
Happy Birthday :)
David
That is really great. I really appreciate all you do for us and the Maco hobby.

Randy, checked out your new page- nice work !!- You tear them down alot more than I would want to. Looks like alot on your plate. Is that your garage, or do you work with other people there?? Is it at home? Do you do most of the work yourself?? Is it your full time gig?? Your rides will be cool when they are all done.
