Irons in the Fire

I haven't updated the blog in awhile but don't think I haven't been hard at it with the car. First off, I have the seats pulled out to refurbish, re-foam, and recover them. I found a replacement for my long lost back seat on craigslist for only 35 bucks!

I pulled out the dash and all the interior trim to sandblast and paint them. I'm thinking I'll paint them to match the interior cloth then try and bribe my friend to pinstripe them for me.

The windshield and door glass came out and I had a new glass cut to fit using the old as templates. pictured here are my buds chipping the old windshield seal away to pull out the glass.  
Picture
I removed the hood to repair some damage around the hinges, common on the 1949 models, and to weld in some new steel in place of the rust holes. I have to say that it looks pretty tough with no hood on.

Unfortunately, having all these items out of the car does make it pretty difficult to drive so it has been mothballed for nearly two months now. I miss driving it but if I'm honest driving an old steel car in triple digit temperatures doesn't sound all that appealing to me anyway. I have to thank my buds who helped me with the tear down. It's always faster more fun to have help. I will do a full write up on each project as I wrap them up I just wanted to get something posted so I didn't forget how to type.
