Saturday Mike and I had to go buy a new hood since the reproduction hood we were going to use got warped when being sand blasted. There was a guy in Ogden selling one so we went up and purchase it and then took it over to Hooper for Gary to use. It sucked having to buy a new hood, but it is an original hood, not a reproduction, so it should fit my car better. We also dropped off some other car parts at the same time that will need to be painted. We keep coming across parts that need painting so we periodically get to make trips to drop them off.
Gary has done wonders on the body work on the car. He is making some good progress. Its fun seeing the progress. I do feel bad since I had no idea how much work it takes to get a car ready and prepped to be painted. He is putting a ton of work into the car. I have full faith in him though. I know he can do wonders on cars (Mike's parents Pace Car being a prime example). It will be exciting to see the car finished.
So I have spent countless hours going through old pictures and video footage trying to find something with my car. I did find video footage, but it is not ideal. Here is a still shot taken from that footage, its about the best there is of my car....
Pretty sad all you can see is the hood and part of the windshield. Oh well. At least I have the two pictures of it when it was a few months old. Can't argue that. I just hope someday to find more pictures. I know there have to be pictures out there. I would assume my aunt Beverlee (whom was the previous owner) would probably have lots of pictures with it. Unfortunately her pictures are not currently accessible. Hopefully someday something will surface though. In the mean time I can look at this picture and admire how shiny the hood was and dream of it looking that shiny again!
