I wonder why he don't write no more??
(wow, I had to go back 4 pages just to find this thread, talk about movin' on...)
For the few that care, wondering about the progress on the car I have been plodding away on the body work.
In between that, I have been in Antartica, aka The classic mustang forum.
I Thought that since the car shared 68 bodyparts they might find it interesting........Uhhhh wrong O!
MAN! it's one thing for some fox guy to not like what you're doing while you post progress on a fox forum, but take a fox like this one down to the classic forum and start a progress thread down there and you get..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I haven't had that sort of cold shoulder treatment since the last time I hit on a nun.
Well it might not have been that bad, but it sure felt like it.
100 views before anybody made a single comment.
Anyways, positive stuff did come out of the experience, people finally started to warm up to the thing.
One guy said it reminded him of a pit bull. Another guy said it looked kinda like the California Special's Chubby, Bad-Assed little brother.
I liked the reference so much I decided to nick name the car after the very first neighborhood bully I ever encountered.
It was in first Grade. The Guys name was Chucky Fuller. Now that's a name that you just don't forget, even after 47 years. Ole bad assed Chucky had only 4 toes on one foot, he lost the 5th in the spokes of a bike. He was a little bad ass. Yeah.....4 toed, Monkey Fightin,'
Chucky Monday to Friday,
Fuller!
That about catches you up, except that I had my painter over to survey the car so far, and he told me to go ahead and prep the rest of the body for paint. So that's what I've been doin' today.
I've been procrastinating pulling the trim off and gutting the interior to facilitate that, but it had to happen sooner or later.
Now that the door panels are off, figured I show you what was involved to get the door handle relocated to accomodate the Pony door panel insert.
So, all of the trim is off, and I got the back seat and quarter glass partitioned off to try and keep the damn dust out of the interior
Like my solution to the complete lack of support for the package tray courtesy of the previous owner?
I got the majority of the front and rear end done, now all I gotta do is sand..............
