I can't tell you how helpful these videos are. Especially having the same car,color & rust 😅
We are so humbled when we learn how much some people genuinely appreciate our efforts. This has been and continues to be a lesson for us all. The amount of rust and required fabrication involved is certainly not for the faint of heart.
I wish you the very best during your restoration. Please keep us posted and don't hesitate to contact us if you need a shoulder to cry on.
Still following this series! Great save when others would have parted it out. My 70 442 W25 is not as bad but still a project. Hopefully I can get something going on it soon.
Good morning. Thank you for watching and commenting. For sure this car was by all practical rights, nothing more than a parts car.
Good luck on your 442 project. Please keep us posted on your progress.
Stay Tuned
I didn't Forgetcha. Had Mower repair & grass cutting. Feel Like I had "Will it it run" Of 10 years of sitting on three riders. lol Yep First thing I noticed at the start of Mr. Jones was That Dash !! EEgads. lol but when going on a W-31 well.. You Gotta go for it. Seems like the New piece has a bigger radius in the Top corners than Mr. Jones. Gasket troubles? Don't sweat about putting tools away, keep working as late as possible. Don't lose sleep over it. Next time out you can clean up, gives you time to think what's gotta be done next maybe with newer Ideas. plus you Don't have to Get Back out some of the tools you Put away the Night before. I hate having to Handle stuff Twice. QC work experience. I Feel You Made the Correct Decision using Pieces & Not the whole Front Roof section. another Big Piece of the puzzle accomplished. *Progress* IS "Thee Name of the Game."
Hello there Mr Green!!! Glad you have the lawn under control. I still run a 1996 Exmark Z Ride. I honestly don't think I'll ever be comfortable leaving tools out. Its just not how I'm wired. I often have to stand back and take stock of what has gotten accomplished since September. Stay Tuned. Cool stuff to come.
Chat soon.
Mr. B. Here ! Good morning ! I feel like Mr. Jones, had stones removed , no fun ! Am not a metal guy from what I see you taken time step by step is on the money ! I’ve worked cars 🚗 since I was 14 .

Thanks for acknowledging what it really takes.
Enjoy your weekend.

Good work but I agree a new section would be faster but in line with Mr Jones build you did the right thing. are you going to use led for the pin holes just asking?
Good morning. This entire build has been an exercise in fair compromise. For any pin holes that I want to fill ( if I don't weld them more) I won't be using led. I'll use a product called All-Metal. It's made by USC and is basically a metal (aluminum) infused body filler.
A friend introduced it to me years ago and I have good results with it.
Thank you so much for watching.
Dear Sir I didn't forget to send pics of my car I've like you been very busy but I will get them to you soon im not good at all with computers so I have to get my wife to load them n send them to you then you'll see what a basket case my car was. Ray Stein
