For the whole story (most of you may already know) go to:
For now not much action on the car itself,but parts are being gathered and collected.I will have to catalogue all the schtuff I got spread out in the Boat House.Plus a parts car will be here Monday and must be de-boned and outa my driveway before the neighbours complain.
I am taking holidays Monday for a week to sort my mess out.
Ray will be over Wednesday to finish up some small welding spots (no pun intended).
After that I my game plan is clean up the belly of the BoaB. Epoxy primer and paint.Then I can start installing the gas tank Hotrodnwillie donated to the project.Then the rear axle can be refurbished and installed.
I am hoping to reach my goal to have her back on tires by Christmas
I cannot set a finished date as of yet but two years is not unrealistic.
It's been two years already,but the real work did not start til last fall-just a year ago.
Cheers and it is great to be a part of the Mob!!
Mobby bring donuts Krispy Kreme please!!!

Pics look decieving.All the hard work is in the rear portion of the car.All fabricated from scratch--no repro Cramaro panels here.
Ray and I are just a couple of amateurs having fun with an old C and all the toys...tools available at our disposal LOL.
The more obvious changes are coming....say tuned..

Today is my first day of holidays and will be working on her feverioushly.
Last night I tested the sending unit hotrodnwillie donated to the BoaB.It can be soldered up to stop the leak.I used my ohm reader and it does work,so in theory my guage should read what's in the tank.
I have a lot to do in a short time,and the only way to do it is get my ass away from this pooter...

We left at 6 am,got stuck in Toronto's rush hour traffic arond 8-9 am.
Drove a while longer picked it up at 12.Left a half hour later and got home 5 pm.Had supper,a beer and started dismantling.
I could not wait! Even after dark I was still going! Jamie and Rusty popped in and I stopped around 8 pm.
This is what I achieved in a short time..

Yes.Someone in the past swapped a lot of parts on this car.The green car was parted out.Most of the green car is in the trunk!!
Today I continued to rape the beast of parts.
The crossover and middle pipe are in great shape.I will use them.Rebuilt brake booster.Nice windshield and front bumper.

Car is a real turd interior and body wise.However mechanically,the car was kept up.Even the muffler and tailpipe is fairly new-it is still shiny!The gas tank has been treated and has a protective coating on it.
Even the brakes were functioning when I rolled it off the trailer!!
New parking brake cables ,new u-joints
Just had terminal cancer soo bad the springs went through the trunk.Big holes in the front floor as well.I cut the right 1/4 panel and hit metal after going through 1/4 inch of bondo. Edited by CBarge - Sep/25/2007 at 11:23PM |

Geez Lea, that car is shot , but at least your getting some good parts
off of it so part of that car will live again. Hope everything
continues according to plan.

Well,she is now resting peacefully in a local yard.Got 50 bux back for what was left.I took home the rear axles.They are in good shape.
A moment of silence for a dearly de-parted-out C..
The last ride..

She is not alone.In the yard is a '68 Poara 500 Canadian model 318/727 2.76 gears.Very basic car..
  Other cars mentionable is a '57 Chebbie,'66 Toronado,and a slew of old Dodge trucks--some with big block powerplants. .One of the employees is an old car nut and tends to hang on to the old schtuff.

Next on the list is to turn my attention back onto the BoaB itself. I pretty much have everything I need at this point to keep me busy for the remainder of this year.
Stay tuned!
