I'm not ready to prep for paint or anything like that, but it's time I get some of these trim holes filled and maybe a radius or two cut. Anyone in SoCal care to make a little extra money?
I might be able to help you, but I have little free time cuz of school and work. Cutting the 'bones is real easy, and patching holes isn't bad either. Let me know whats up and we will see if we can work something out. I'm in Santa Ana. Mike
Tryin to cut me outta the picture huh Mike lowsprings is probably a better choice anyway since he has been doin it longer, I was just tryin to help him out since I can do that shit. Damn, I need to come get that frame, you said you are at the house on Sundays right?? Mike
Still workin in placentia? If you are drop by I got a mig. You can check out that chevy alter convertion on my falcon aswell.
Thanks for the offers. I'm living in Mission Viejo and working in Anaheim now (Extron Electronics). I lost the gig at PRIMEDIA, publishing car mags. They sold the mag I was working on to a publisher back east. sucks! Anyway, I'm thrilled to finally get to a little of this basic body work. I'm having a baby on Tuesday so we'll have to plan around her. Anyone free this Sat or Sun? Both of you are close so I could even cruise over after work Friday if that helps fit anyone's schedule.

HINT HINT not a problem on the frame, i know its a bitch... at least its just the frame and some small bits. if i had a trailer + truck id kart it out to you... for $500 but, ya, sundays is when iam there... although you can swing by anytime during the week. ill just let the CHINO know you are stopping by. call me sometime.
Looks like Lonestar38 and I will be dragging out his MIG tomorrow after I get off work. My digital camera will be along so maybe some pics if all goes well.
Hey bro talked to my friend. You'll be pickin me up n the mig n headin out to costa messed up. We'll have the trim holes filed n antena even shave them doors for kicks. We can grindum down n make noise then glaze n spray. See you tomorrow bro.
[ QUOTE ] if flat6 isnt able to do it up, send low springs a PM... he does side jobs [/ QUOTE ] thanks for thinking of me but since i didn't get the gig. i'm cutting you off my x-mas list. flat6 is right i've been doing body work for 12 yrs now. oh well maybe next time.
low springs, there's plenty to be done. Don't lose hope. I have to go to work tomorrow. I'll be thrilled just to get the trim holes filled tonight. With 2 or 3 of us though, we should be able to knock out a bunch of stuff.
With about 5 hours put into the car last night, Lonestar38 and I got most all the holes filled (nearly 100). The trim holes were larger than Lonestar38 thought they were going to be and that caused a lot of grief. Didn't get to filling any of the large patch areas like the antenna hole, gas cap filler hole, etc. We also discovered the front right fender is bondo heavy. They did a hell of a job, but since the fenders aren't that hard to get, I'm going to try and find a replacement. Anyone know of a 63 passenger fender, e-mail me? We didn't even touch any glaze; just ran out of time. I got my first time on a MIG and they tell me I didn't do too bad. Now I'll have to break down and buy one. Lonestar38's crew in Costa Mesa turned out to be a really nice bunch of guys. I showed up with a case and within hours we had like 7 people there. Old cars were everywhere. Thanks Asher for letting us use the space. Hopefully after my daughter is born this coming Tuesday I can swing by again to say high. Maybe even rope you into some work...
Doesn't look like I'm welding. Ok so hot liquid steal squirts out of my finger tips and I don't need a mask I didn't even realize you took any pictures
Here's Charley welding when he's not just faking it. Thanks again Charley for hooking me up. Hopefully we hang out again sometime soon.
Hey man, I dont know the differences in those Falcons but I was going to put a passenger fender on ebay for myt boss this weekend. No bondo, couple small dents in the headlight area. It is the same body style as yours. In SOuth Dakota, shipping my dissuede you?
If it's a 62 or 63 year model, it'll work. Double check the year and see how much it weighs and maybe we can make it happen. My zip 92691. Thanks.
