off your a$$ on your feet out the shade and in the heat

:bananaman Well you guys know I have been trying to get rid of my stuff cus i dont have time to work on it(supposedly). Me and my family went to watch a movie yesterday after my older son's football game and after that we went to get a bite to eat. My son called my attention to a group of cars(mustangs) parked at the gas station getting gas on the way to a local race area off the seawall in galveston. He later said that them guys were lucky that my maverick wasn't running and that i was later getting rid of it cus it would definately kick their butts. That gave me the motivation to do some work on it and repair the roof that was rusted. Here are some pictures of b4 and after tell me what you guys think. Also tell me what you think about rain drips keep them or get rid of them. man i ripped the chrome trim all up from the drip and that pissed me off. Any way tell me what you guys think. I hope to have it running in the next 2 months. them guys better watch out cus i'm coming larging and charging.

all I need to finish the roof is to use body filler to finish it off.

 

Looks great. Was this a vinyl roof car?

 

try it again i messed up and tried to fix it look at now

 

hey mavaholic its a hardtop not a vinyl roof what you see is the inside headliner i had to remove it so i would not start a fire inside

 

lets try it again

my son was trying to change my avatar yesterday i upload the pictures as avatar then everytime i uploaded them again they would go to that format i had to rename the files i think it took care of it check out the pics. tell me what you guys think.

 

i can see the pics. nice series. looks good.

 

nice repair.

 

Wow. Great looking work. I'm afraid I would've walked, no, RAN away from that car.

 

very nice work!

 

I think what Dennis was asking, is was there a vinyl roof on the car in the past? Rust in that area is common with vinyl top cars. (I'm reading Dennis' mind here) If there was no vinyl top, I suspect there is rust elsewhere since it is so bad in this spot.

Nice repair job. That takes talent and patience. Good luck with the resto.

Very nice work!

 

Yeah, Nice repair job!!! I don't think I've ever seen one that has rusted that bad, Wow.

 

If you are going to drive your car in the rain....I would keep the drip rails(even if not the chrome), Unless you plan on wearing a wetsuit everytime you drive your car. If this is strictly a drag car...I'd shave them bad boys. For every 100# removed = 1/10 of a second faster...or something like that.
