Dean, you're still talking about the black concord shown above.  I thought you said that one was gonna become a parts car - Or was that Russ' old concord might become a parts car?

What have you been doing with the LT blue Concord?  Any progress with that one? 

I still think you should get that 2 door sport into the garage.  Or at least go out to the 'Lot' with about 4 cans of undercoating, and spray the underside before it rots sitting in that field.  I'd hate to see that one rot away.

The black one discussed here may still become parts at some point in the future, or I'll sell it.  In the meantime I'd like to get some more use out of it, and also experiment with it bodywise to see how good it can be made to look.

As for the brown one, despite its ailments it's still too good to be a parts car.  It's a fixer-upper.

Haven't really touched it since December, when I removed the dash, replaced some things, and reinstalled the dash.

I don't want it to sit outside either, but I have no indoor storage options right now.

Well since you want to practice fixing up the body on the black one, bring it down to Pat's someday.  He's got the sandblaster now, and it would make short work of that rust.

Now that it's above freezing (Thank The Lord!!!)  We can do blasting outside. 

Blast it, patch it, then cover with some paint, drive it home, and then do the sanding there at your leisure.   (if not Pat's, Keith also can sandblast)


As for the 2 door sport, at least give it some undercoating, or put some tarpaper under the car, to keep the moisture down.  If you want, buy the undercoating, loan me a jack, and I'll go out and do it.  I'd really hate to see that one rot.

Right now, there's no rot on that car.  let's keep it that way.
