Not sure what your last one looked when you started to restore her but sure look forward to seeing what you do now. Somehow I thought just keeping it simple and doing a long rolling restore was just not in your blood

Re: Mr. Dibbles Mutt Restoration - Photos & Updates
Yep I was surprised to see that too. The windshield seal was a little buggered up and as a result moisture, over the years, domo'd the windshield. I ordered a NOS complete A2 windshield (with wiper motor, glass, wiper arms, etc...) from Red River though ($285.00). Should be arriving any day now.rickf wrote:Windshield looks a little rusty!

Killer garage Mr. D the floor is beautiful! What brand of epoxy is that?
Having seen your last mutt from pictures i'm sure this one is going to be just as nice, looks like a nice clean body, but then again that windshield looked nice and clean too I bet you were surprised. Keep up the good work!

The car on the lift is a 1960 Austin Healey 3000. That was my Dad's car that he bought in 1975. It has been in the family ever since.csmith wrote:Mr. D, what's on the top shelf under cover

Re: Mr. Dibbles Mutt Restoration - Photos & Updates
and I am just guessing here, but the base ball bat in lucite box under the Healey poster is the bat you used to pry the Healey from his pleading hands..........?
