60FlatTop Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 ahhh, it worked.I got it back nice and satiny. It has held up very well.We moved along at a good pace on this one.I learned a lot about "what I wouldn't ever do again"A lot of fussy detail work.Here's the last of what I found. Getting close to the end.I am getting my '60 Electra in shape for the trip to Danvers. After that the Riviera gets a little 15 year refreshing. It's nice to find these old pictures.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob McDonald Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 FLAT TOP, nice cartoon moustache on the guy squatting beside the chassis. Is he PhotoShopped in or what? That looks like a Silver Shadow or a Bentley S-type looming in the foreground and a sweet Baby 'Bird in back.You've inspired me - I've got similar in-progress photos from the pre-digital era, which I should dig out and scan for posterity.

60FlatTop Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi Rob,My helper is Rusty Jones, an advertising cut out from the period.The Silver Cloud used to come in for an annual A/C check when I was servicing collector cars back then.The '56 T-Bird's owner couldn't get a garage to tune his car right. I think he spent about $12,000 with me on that one. I drove it to a cruise nite for a shake down and the guys were marveling over how smooth the Y-block ran. Being full of showman S-H-I-P, I sat the flat bottomed ice cream cone on the air cleaner. That wowed 'em.I just came across a big pile of pics today. I might scan some more.Thanks for looking.
