Well the weather is warming up..so I brought the bird home so I could start the reassembly process.
The car was disassembled by the shop that did the body and paint work. All the panels. doors etc were removed painted individually, sanded, buffed and now installed..some with rough adjustments.
This will be my kit car since I now have boxes of parts, bags of bolts and screws..mostly labeled and all needing to be installed.
The first challenge is the top. I am going to sand and repaint the frame as well as replace all the tack strips, rubber and then get it back in the car.
I had a good ole boy stop by that was visiting a neighbor and wanted to know if I was going to race it...
since it had a "roll bar" in it. I decided to just humor him and told him yes it was for a NASCAR seniors class (over 60 here)...heres your sign...the 2x4 frame actually keeps the car cover from sagging and holding water until I get the top frame back in place. Any way this is my Squarebird Kit car.. I am probably going to be asking for help when I get to certain parts and will photograph the process...
Just some thoughts from under my shade tree. Grant
