Car is coming along! Nice project!
Well I don't think I will paint the entire car Graphite if that id what you guys are saying. That would be too much of one color with the interior basically that color too. I think i'll go with the flat look and do some decals, not sure which color.Agreed, the color looks great
Thanks Reaper. Glad to see you around again!

I'm here and there. School, work, and life are kicking my @ss right now, but this is a nice escape! LOL
Alright, didn't do anything monumental recently, but I did get a chance to swap out the tail lights for some cleaner ones that have better paint. I do plan to repaint the original ones just because I can, but these are in pretty good shape. One was from Bill's place I got while I was in Detroit just after SDAC.
I also had a question from Badger about flaring the fenders out, so I thought I would take a couple of pictures to show where I re-drilled the mounting hole for the bracket.
And the car was pretty dirty but free of rust. I sprayed some simple green and went on my way. This car seriously needs a paint job and it will come soon enough.

thanks for the pics Jon!
Yeah sorry it couldn't be better, but I'd have to jack the car up just to get a descent shot and that would have to be during the daytime. You can see the place where I drilled and mounted the one end of the support bracket. You really just have to pull the fender until it seems uniform on both sides. I'm sure you could measure it, but given the challenges an imperfect asymmetric car, it's just as close if you eye it.

ummm.....who's this,bill guy?
Man I had a whole bunch of stuff written, but my browser crashed! In short, he was one of the more well known folks involved with our cars and cars in general. I didn't know him like some of the others on the board, but very energetic, friendly, knowledgeable and one of the first people to be there to help or lend a part if you needed it. He passed away earlier this year and it was a big loss for our community.
The car in Wes' picture above is one of the vehicles in his collection. You should read up on that thread.

Well I had a problem with my steering when I went to the Tail of the Dragon a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to check on the rack position just in case something was wrong. Seemed all the bolts were tight except the one that had broken off.I can't fix that right now, but it looks like I will be pulling the K member to correct this....and if I pull it, I'm getting new bushings....and if I put in new bushings, I'm going to powdercoat it....and the control arms. So looks like the next upgrade will be suspension again.
Here are a couple of pictures I took under the car. Notice the lack of RUST and with a handy dandy rag, the lack of oil.

very interesting thread!
What's all that funny gray stuff where the rust should be?Well I had a problem with my steering when I went to the Tail of the Dragon a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to check on the rack position just in case something was wrong.

Have you thought about just doing one of Rich's K frames? By the time you do the bushings, PC, etc. it may not be too much of a jump for you.
I thought all L bodies came pre rusted from the factory...?
See if you can make a Graphite "S" before Ken? LOL
