Location: Minor Hill, TN | This is part 2 of the restoration has started. My dad will be bending , fabricating metal for my '61. He will have some help from a fellow pace car club member. I do not have photos right now. I got to get my trunk card board kit yet . I plan to have carpet installed in the trunk instead of the mat. I will take some photos and post them if progress has been shown but if the welder if being used then its time for me to get the hell out of the garage.. I am typing this late so I cannot go in the garage because the dogs in my parents room will start barking especially my sister's border collie Zeke. This fool dog will even bark at his own shadow. There are times he is about to drive me to drink.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I do not drink but there was 1 time I worked 8am-4pm I had to go home get some more sleep but that dog kept me up with his barking. I told my sister flat out if her dog keeps me up with his barking he is going to disappear, I even went out with a newspaper in my newspaper in my hand , that dog went under the table with his tail between his legs I told him " You better run" I had to go back in 12 am-8am then I told the stores manager flat out I am not doing any more turn arounds. There was 1 time the owner was going to have me do that the manager said she is not going to do that she is ready to quit. I got the hell out of that place and found a better paying job with benefits |

Location: northern germany | one word of advise and PLEASE follow it. cut only as much of the oe steel that really needs to be replaced. do NOT cut that high. welding will make the panel warp turning the car into a bondo bomb.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | Thank you for the tip Sid. When my dad started the grinding there was a lot of bondo on the car. He also said who ever did the body work and paint job on the car before I got it did not do it right. I do not know who it was and I am not blaming anyone here. The panels are trial fits right now . I believe my dad will cut off what is not needed and use it in another spot.
The body panels were for a 1955 plymouth he was going to restore but the previous owner left the car out side with the windows down . The car was so badly rusted he took it to a scrap yard. The body panels will be used on my '61 .
I hope you have great day and keep cruising in your '60 fury Thank you again for the tip |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | Hello every one. There has been more metal cut and more fabrication. I also noticed the inner rear fender has cancer. I know that can be cured. I took photos of the progress after the work was done . When my dad was working on the car I had to be on my way to work. Work is what pays the bills and the restoration of this car. My daily driver is paid off but all I got is my mastercard and visa but a credit counsler is taking care of this for me I did this to combine them together with out a loan out , lower my interest rates and to get them paid off faster both cards are current My insurance for the daily driver is due for renewal in November and the '61 in May of 2017.
I will be honest I am looking at 1 of those new challengers as my new daily driver but I am sitting on that 1 for a while. Here is some photos of the progress. I plan to take the metal that was cut from the car and turn it in to cash. it may not be much but its better than nothing

Location: Minor Hill, TN | no its not but I blame the salt in the winter months for this, Red dye was used as primer when the car on the assembly line when it was being built and when it was repainted the last time the body work was not done right.
When I had my other 1 I had a rule during the winter months it was not allowed out of the garage and on the road . When there was ice storms the roads were icy and there was a liquid put on the roads to melt the ice on the roads.
the car cancer can be cured. I will admit I have really thought about calling it quits on the car but you know folks here are going to say do not give up it will get there . You have come along way on the car keep at it . |

When that welder is on and being used its time to get out of the garage. If there is any more work I will take more photos and post them later.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I am sure he knows this but the panels have not been welded on yet. I am sorry for my mis understanding. I guess I have learned something new today. I believe I will be helping with applying the por 15 to stop the rust on the car. a regular customer of mine who owns a body shop gave me some supplies for last Christmas to use on the car . The owner of the shop does not do restorations but only collision work.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | Here is some more progress the sanding has started on the left rear quarter panel. After the left side is done then the passenger side will be worked on . It takes 1 piece at a time. If there is any more progress I will take photos and post them later. Then more sanding will be done but since I am having the car repainted black I need to get the body perfect that means no dents it needs to be smooth and perfect.

He put the metal that needed to be together by drilling a screw driver in and when he welds to 2 metals together there will be a small hole so the water can drain out . He did that with the other '61. I will post a photo of the progress and I will take more in the morning or when I get up

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I am sure it will look good but the car will not be painted until the body is smooth and perfect, I will admit I had some 2nd thoughts about repainting the car black but my dad and I talked about it and did the math and it would be cheaper to repaint the car black. I have some black paint left from my previous '61 and that will be used to paint the inside of the trunk, door , and engine compartment. I will need more to paint the body. I am not doing the primer and the painting of the car or welding of l the new metal my dad is doing this part. I am helping out with the sanding plus its helping my dad out a lot.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | There will be a delay I found out I need to replace my left front fender. It cannot be saved . I did put a want ad for a left front fender for my car here and face book it can also come from a belvedere or savoy it would not matter if it came off a 2 or 4 door car or wagon. I just need the part were it goes from headlight to parking light to be good and rust free. I did call dvap and they do not have 1 my dad emailed moores auto salvage and has not heard back from them. I would prefer this fender came from mid to out west

Location: Minor Hill, TN | The passenger rear quarter panel has started the fabrication and the fitting of the panel. This is the 1st part the filling and fabrication then my part is to apply the por 15 and let that dry over night then my dad will weld the metal on . I will post photos when there is more progress. My dad will drill holes so the water can escape he did that with my other '61 that was another mistake Chrysler made on the assembly line when these forward looks were being built the other was the red dye instead of primer
the photo is the 1st part of the progress

Location: Minor Hill, TN | To day more sanding was done on the passenger rear quarter but more filler needs to be added and then more sanding. I hope someday to locate the correct day/night rear view mirror for my '61 if any one has an extra 1 please give me a shout. The 1 I have now does not work it go from day/night or vice versa. I had a chance to get a NOS 1 was too late. I am still waiting for my trunk card board kit . I sent the order out on the 23rd of last month so its been about a over a week . I ordered from Gary Goers and he has done me right in the past and I will order from Gary again. I under stand he has medical issues and I hope he fully recovers from these issues.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | There was more filling and sanding on the passenger rear fender panel it should be ready for primer soon then its off to do the left front fender but that will be removed off the car . It wont be back on the road yet there is still more to do. These take time I hope 1 day to do a live video on you tube but when I try I have no cell phone service in the garage. I cannot move the car because the rear tires are off and its on jack stands. My dad has got to grind the cancer from the bottom then I will get truck bedding and spray it under the car

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I got some more progress. I sanded off the spray can primer off the car. I also used some paint thinner for the small locations . My dad put rust converter over the surface rust to convert this to a paintable surface. The body is getting prepped for primer. I have the yellow epoxy primer which will be used 1st then the black epoxy primer after this . It has been a journey on this car but I made it so far. With 2 people working on the car it helps a lot. I am going to post some photos and if more work is done there will be more but 1st they go on my face book page. Now its off to for c bodies only and post the photos there

Location: Minor Hill, TN | Yes it will pay off especially with 2 people working on the car. I was told to remove the spray can primer off the car before epoxy primer was applied. I got more to to remove from inside the doors trunk and hood. I can do that on my off days from work. My dad is doing the grinding to remove the car cancer. He also cut out a rusted piece and will weld a new patch . I believe I will apply POR 15 in side the metal before it is welded on.
Now my front brakes are applying way too hard. I do not like the feel of it . Its like the car is jerking from the front . My dad both front brakes are like that he is going to take them apart to find the problem . I even thought about converting to front disc brakes. My other '61 had front disc brakes and I never had that problem. I figured it was because this '61 sat for a while but it could not be helped it was on jack stands for a while .
When I started car once a month I would move it back and forth ( the car was not on jack stands) |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I am now sanding off the spray can primer from in side the hood and then its the trunk. I would use paint thinner but I ran out . The sanding will need to do for the time I want to get most off by sanding then I will get some more paint thinner and take the rest off that way. The left front fender was removed . It was grinded , sanded and wirebrushed and por 15 will be added .

I accidently got a pint but I will get the quart later and will still use the pint it will not go to waste. The rusted panels will go to scrap and I will put the cash towards the car.

Were I am at now I am making more I got benefits and my paycheck is directly deposited to savings and I transfer enough to checking to pay a note that is due and fill up my fuel tank. The rest stays in the savings account.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I have a question I hope some one here would please answer . I did a start up on my '61 and it looked like rusty water came out of the exhaust pipe . Is this normal? My dad plans to pull the motor and tear it down and put new freeze plugs and what else it needs. The motor runs good but it runs rough when I step on the brakes. I was told I have a leak in the booster and will be putting a power brake booster off of later model chrysler. |

Location: Branson, MO | When a car sits for long periods of time, any condensation (moisture) in the exhaust system will create rust in the pipes. It is normal after a start-up after long periods of not running for rusty water to come out of the tail pipes until the moisture is cleared out evaporated by the heat and expelled with exhaust pressure. Should be nothing to worry about except for rust holes that could come through the pipes but you'll be able to see and/or hear that. |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I did some more sanding on the car and added rust converter to were it was needed, There has been a couple of times I have thought about calling it quits on the restoration. This has been 1 hell of a long project .

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I was told that there is not much more to do on the car . Sand blasting under the car , pulling the 318 out so I can sand the engine compartment, remove the fuel tank and sand cut a piece of trunk floor were there is cancer. A new piece will be welded on and grinded , sanded primered and painted. . I wish the restoration was complete right now because I would be decorating it for the Minor Hill, TN Christmas parade.
This is how I would decorate the car fake snow on the rear window Then the viliage , fake Christmas presents in back seats , Christmas bears holding battery operated candles.
The out side will have fake snow on the roof, hood and trunk. Then the garland , battery operated Christmas lights . I would also not be surprised if I got a 1st place trophy . |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I know this may sound crazy but I am going to ask any way . I wonder what the chances are of me locating the original window sticker for my '61 or does any one here fill the blank stickers I hope I am not being a royal pain to any one here. My car will be back on the road this Spring or Summer. The parts are in a room in the garage I cleaned the interior and the trunk is being repaired for paint .

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I should have my '61 back on the road this Summer . The Winter the engine will be pulled and the engine compartment will be done. The car will only have short trips and that is it. I will need to get new tires for the car. My dad seen the dates on the ones that are on the car now and they are 14 years old . He used to be in the tire business now he is retired but he keeps himself busy by working on the cars.
Something tells me not to drive the car until I get newer tires on the car if the tire shop offers nitrogen I will take it |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | Its going to be short trips . My dad read the dates on the tires and they are old/ I will need to save for brand new tires. I am saving for the paint and clear coat also .
I will get the tires locally and get portawall wide whites for my '61 to save some cash . I have a 2016 Dodge challenger that I have to make car payments on it that is the 1 bill I pay. I am 1 month a head . If the '61 does not make the Tennessee Valley Mopar Show then the Challenger will sub for it.
I do have the '61 registered and insured but I raise my agreed value every year . |

Location: Southern Idaho, USA | Looking nice Steph!
I enjoy doing all the bodywork on mine, as its great to see it in paint and see how beautiful it is. Also to see all the dents removed and then straight.
I saw what you wrote above on why your trunk lid is gray. No, your car wasn't originally gray, or else mine would be too, and that's not possible as all the factory paint on that car is brown. I even found some factory chalk marks, and there is the brown paint under them too.
To the best of my knowledge, Mopar had painted all the underside of the trunk lids that odd shiny gray, along with the original wheels too. |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | It has been a journey on this car. The sand blasting has just started and will continue when I get more sand for the car.
I do not trust the tires and the brakes on the car. I have thought about front disc brakes on the car for better stopping. I might end up doing that and there are times I wish I had the cash to take the car to a restoration shop and have them finish it for me.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | There is still more to do . I wont be driving the car any time soon I learned the tires are almost 15 years old. I will not drive this car until brand new tires are on the wheels. The power brake booster has been removed and 1 from a later model mopar will be installed so it will be easier to get to the master cylinder so I can add brake fluid when needed . There are times I get in to 1 of those moods and want to call it quits on this car . I have folks encourage me not to that it will get there.

| I've just located several sets of NOS 35 year old bias ply whitewalls. They were stored indoors and still look pretty good to me. My tire guy was telling me old bias plys will hold up but that old radials will not? Something about the quality of rubber content. For brakes I'm going with the bigger 63 300 drum brakes. |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | Yes it will do a lot but its getting there . The car even had to be sand blasted in some parts because of the car cancer. I remember when my dad sanded of the bondo from the quarters down to the metal 1 part is when some one welded a piece of metal over metal that had cancer . I also wet sanded inside the doors I also got to wet sand the fenders. I will do those on my off days . I got to work today and tomorrow Monday and Tuesday are vacation days the next 2 are off days. I will try to upload the photos again

Location: Minor Hill, TN | My dad is tearing down the poly 318 . He put a new timing chain and gear set on . He cleaned some gunk out of the engine . When I did my start ups before this I poured some marvel mystery oil in the crank case. He wants me to have the starter checked to see if it is still OK . I purchased gaskets and seals for the car from rock auto when they had a close out sale for parts for my '61 . |

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I had a pioneer am/fm /CD player on layaway at Walmart. I just picked it up yesterday, It will be installed after the restoration is complete. I am sure some will ask why the reason is I do not want just an AM radio I want to be able to listen to my CDs in the car. I am debating to have it installed in the glove box under the dash or under the seat and turn it on by the factory radio..
I will ask the installer to install the radio and do the wiring of the speakers but I will ask my dad to hook it up for me. It will also go to the tint shop when I get back on the road. |

Mind that the 5-blade fan should have a fan clutch.
Connecting them mechanically has resulted in problems.

Location: DFW, TX | Great progress! This car is really starting to look nice. Congratulations!
I made all the brake lines on my Chrysler. I used NiCopp lines and fittings that I got from "thestopshop" on Amazon. It was really easy to do,
and it came with everything I needed except a line bender, a double flare tool, and the clips to mount the lines on the frame.
If you are having a hard time getting your pre-bent brake lines, you might consider these.

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I got my tires waiting to be mounted and balanced but the wheels need to be be blasted and painted but the car is in primer waiting to be painted. I also have a question I put music on my iPhone 6 is there an fm converter that has the plug I can plug the phone so I can listen to my music . I do not have the extra money to get the radio converted to am/fm and have a plug added so I can plug my iPhone into right now. There are times I wish a car stereo company made a radio like my factory 1 but I can listen to an iPod /CD or Sirius XM in it and FM also

| NICE! You've come along ways. Inspiring for me to get out and work on my 61. Your original 14 inch wheels fit without rubbing on disc calipers? |
