kid442 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not made too much progress but still finding parts. WTony patched the floor and welded the 4-speed hump in. Dad and I converted the car from auto and bolted the hump in 1982. WTony also installed a new rocker panel. Still more to go but we are closer. Back to working on the W30. I also found a photo of my dad guiding the 215 with the 4 speed trans attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid442 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Been working on the 69 W30 project this summer. Just a little late was going to put the 63 Jetfire in the garage when Sandy came along. We are way better off than some but this is a real bummer. Dent in the roof at the windshield. Not sure how bad but bent the frame. I will post more tonight.Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid442 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 OK! Sandy is gone!!!My Insurance Co totaled the car. I was able to keep the car by buying it back. I was happy with the settlement from Hagerty and they were very nice to work with! WTony had some time so the car is in the body shop. The roof is repaired and stripped, and primed. I have a few photos to post more to come.Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid442 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Just got the car back from WTony. I will get more photos when I have time over the weekend. Now it is really starting to take shape. Will be working on the doors next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Great progress Ken! You keep showing these pics and WTony will be backed up for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joe_Varley Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you still need parts for the Jetfire, try Jim Noel in MN. He is an OCA member and knows these cars inside out. He built a gorgeous '63 Jetfire station wagon back in the 80's. If he does not have the parts you need, he probably knows who does.By the way, the project is looking real good! Spring is coming, time to jump on it!Joe V in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kid442 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Been working on a few projects but this is the current update. Turbo down pipe. Waldrons did a exhaust system for me. I was not happy with the flanges they made and I was able to get a correct flange from Jensen racing. Waldrons was able to install it on the pipe they made. Came out great and they are a pleasure to work with!! Interior and rugs Installed the rugs, console and interior. More to go but starting to shape up. My son has been under the dash trying to get the lights, wiper and electrical systems working. A few photos below of progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
