|
|
drug home a 56 jungle green oval sunday.
I got an email from a friend that said he knows someone with an oval they are getting rid of. he told the owner that i would be a good person to own it. The owner emailed me and we wenthroughht the details and i told him i wanted it and would come get it from him Sunday. so after a long 500+ mile round trip it sits in my garage now.
as found. been here for 4 years
All tucked in the garage.
All the bits that came with it
Good working 12v tranny. neew seals. new brakes. new tires,
OG 36hp motor. unknow conditions but spins freely
correct H replacement apron
there is a fair amount of rust in the heater channels. both sides need to be replaced. Rust on the bottom of each door and rust in both rear quarters in front of the tires. _________________ Jeremy

yeah i should have clarified my question better. I know the paint code as shown in your link. I was more looking to see if anyone has a paint code from a todays paint supply company that matches the L315. I wasn't sure if i could call up DuPont or of the like and tell them i need jungle green L315?? _________________ Jeremy

Glasurit got it. Painted my car 21 years ago with Glasurit, people dont think it is that old (and I have never polished it). _________________ I got a historic car, every scratch got a history...

Replace the re apron today. I remove the apron and left the inner structure that the engine seal attached to. the replacement one was not the best and i wanted to keep as much OG paint as i could. took a Little long but am happy with the results

got the rear all complete. fitted the rear fenders " i know not correct year rear fenders" and installed the deck lid. things line up pretty good.
started in the on the front apron.passengersanger side was hit lightly at some point in its life. I removed the apron and innerwheele weel section. welded a bracket on the front of the quarter section and pitled ip out the best i could. didn't want to weld a right side clip on so i just pulled it out and hammer and dolly it.

while waiting on the front apron to show up i decided to cleanup the passenger side front quarter to see what the end result will look like.
removed some of the surface rust to get more green to show through. then clear coated it to see how it will look.
I LIKE IT A LOT!!
before the cleanup
after i removed the surface rust.
clear coat results. this is what the car will look like when done.

been doing lots of work on the 56. replaced the pan halves. built a set of notched extended springplates. installed the trans and motor. found out the #1 cylinder seized to the side wall at some point. I was told that the motor probably needed rebuilt. Built the front safari window frame. started figuring out the shape rear safari window.
Progress Photos
Got to build the sliders for it so its just propped up for now.
Started shaping hte back to see if i can make the bends before bending up section.

with as many panels i have had to replace. Its at the point where its actually going to get repainted. If all the fenders, hoods and doors where OG then it would stay patina'd.
been doing some work
