Projects Project Flatliner!!

too cool.. thanks..The friday dinner time pow wow!! lol

 

The pow wow...hahaha...always great fun!
Look closely and you can see our formal bodyshop dinner table and collapsible seating!

 

hmm how about a pow wow on Bills Mopar! Havent seen any progress lately !

 

I feel inferior, I had the same model seat, but couldn't get it to collapse.
What's that all about?

 

Thanks for the video. Sounds like Fitzee needs some new chairs!

 

Thought I'd have it on its wheels LAST weekend but I've been having major Compressor issues...to the point that I took back well over $200.00 in repair pieces that I've had to add over the last 3 months just to keep it running somewhat, and bought a shiny new one yesterday.
Time is running WAY short and this needs to move to the next level ASAP!
I'll be finishing up the cleaning and paint etc under the car this week and then she's rolling to fitzees shop as soon as I get the word.

Thanks for the help with picking the compressor up and carting it home Pete (Rustyaddiction)!!!

You're not inferior Pete.
You just don't have as much...muscle mass...yeah, thats it! LoL

Wow great job on this car! Makes me feel like a baby for bitching about the rust I am dealing with on my fleetline. You are an artist!

 

Great work, keep us all posted.

 

Well been over a week sence I touched it and I was in the need for a flatliner fix!!Show up at shop this morning with some problems on my mind for the last week.. The back of the car I noticed was not sitting on the rear of the frame right.. so this ment cutting all my bracing on the rear of the body clear and fixing this problem before I moved on..Had to let go most of the welds on the roof on driver side as well!! Well I know one thing..these car are not square!! far from it!! The hinges are out a half inch if I do a cross check with the back window!! anyway after about 3 hours of this I welding the bracing back up and tack weld up the roof agian and also did the pass side of the roof. Figure I better install the trunk lid before I go very much farther to make sure everthing is ok there. did a quick test fit and cut the corners of the top section of the lid so to let it flow with the car. The trunk seams on this car were always tight and I hated that so I ended up cutting the lower section of the trunk lid in 3 section and using some old lug nut washers for spacers.. I welded this part to the car!!

 

Well now to the fun part!! tring to get the lid to sit lower and flow with the roof..not easy.. I ended up cutting the rear of the lid out..it was damaged here so didnt matter but this held the lid up and the crown here would not let it fall.. well with some figuring I got it to where I was happy and then I started trimming it and welding everthing up. I thought the two corners by the roof would give me trouble..Not at all! Trimed the two peices I had cut out and reinstalled them..Stll need to be fine tuned but I an happy how it turned out. Sorry some of the pictures are blury!! seems i had dirt on the lence on the phone!! lol

 

wicked Fitz---really starting to look good now.
Hows the shoulder ?

 

Still bothering me but much better.. Just talking it easy.not over doing it.

 

Its got great flow at the back,looks great!

 

Steve this thing is on my mind all the time now.. want to spend alot more time then I do at it.It is just other projects belong to other people get in the way!!

 

Looks great fitz!
Guess I'll be one of those people with projects in your way soon.
Looks like it will be at your place tomorrow nite!!! LoL
Just gotta get one tire fixed so it stays up!

 

Bring it on Bill.. so tomorrow night as in after 8?? or before?

 

I wanna see some pics boys! Fitzee I am sure Bill will be more than willing to lend a helping hand to Flatliners progress once 'Ol Back In Black' is lookin like a car again In case you didnt catch that Bill I just voluntered you to sand bondo on Flatliner !

 

Steve Bill is one of those guy that will never leave you stuck.. he help me out to get both the caddy the first year and the trailer last year done to go to the nationals and handed me over his blazer for a plow truck..Its my turn to look after him!! lol..

 

Steve need to work on the paint color on his car..I see it white with white wheels dog dish.. simple and clean..

 

I dont think you could go wrong with that choice...maybe throw a little pearl in the mix while you were at it

 

Ok final got a chance to roll flatliner out by the door today for a walk about.. Oh I can see that right quarter is got to go..Dont know what I was thinking!!I see a few things I need to work on but over all Im very happy with how it looks..

 

It looks even better outside, you really nailed the profile ! ,its so easy to mess up a chop on a fastback but I think you have shown us how to do it right! Now get the damn pass side welded up , and yes that includes the rear quarter re-do How much more metalwork ya figure you have left to do on the chop?

 

Thanks Steve.. I just need to make sure the door top and post are going to be good then it start welding everthing solid. you can see the holes that need to be filled. There is still a number of hours here yet..
