You have locked your photobucket album.

You can either,

1. Unlock it and put it into public view

or

2. Provide a password for that particular album.

If you have various albums, you can select which ones you want to lock out from public view and leave others open.

Once you get into it, it won't take long. Keep your eye on the prize Buddy. Great Pics.

I've seen a lot worse. It's quite fixable. Think in your mind, of the finished result. Good luck. Post some progressive pics if you can.

Well I have done a little more to the poor old thing!! Made up a chassis jig to sit it all on so when it comes time to replace the front end it will be a bolt off bolt on, square up and weld job. hopfully. cut the floor out and have done the rear boxes. fixed up the rust around the bottom of the front pillar. Thought I would start in the places it won't be seen, remembering this will be a driver not a show queen. also made a start on replacing the d/s kick panell. Waiting on the front end parts to turn up now. Uploaded a heap more photo's. Just gonna take a while to do. I also notice there are no numbers on the shock towers or rad support. I am guessing the ones on the inner fender have rusted away as none there either? May have to restamp them on when it is replaced

All going well we will fit the rear quarter on sunday. then I can weld it all up. Most of the new pannells are screwed on with button screws to keep it all in place. Getting there;)

Looks to be quality workmanship.

Will be well worth the effort.

Keep those photos coming.

http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h24/husky370/Cobra%20Jet/

Doing all the door, fender, hood, etc gaps and stuff at the moment. Once its all done, we will flip it over and finish of the welding underneath, seam seal it, and prime it all. Another couple of months and it will be ready for paint!!!

So the paint guy rings me today and says" we got on to PPG and got the correct paint code, T5 for Candy Apple Red. But is a lot cleaner looking red than the one we gave you to paint the inside and under your car with" WTF!!!! "You better call in and have a look" I thought the first one you gave me was supposed to be the right one ??? ???
So I go down and yep, its a lot different, but more like I thought it should be, so we go with that red. I told them they would have to repaint all inside the boot area as it will be seen. Not to worried about under the car but geeze!! I'm pretty sure inside the cab there is no area's where it will be seen except maybe the A pillars, and I don't think it will stand out if it does. But boy, you pay good money to get things right, but somthing allways goes wrong. But hey, I'm happy. It's got paint on it, Going to polish tommorow and do the doors, guards, bonnett etc. Have it home by the end of the week. been just under 14 months since it was sand blasted.
