Thanks Bob!

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/17/22 Finished my new console/radio mount this morning. Looks as good as I imagined. Actually better, hahaha! Now time to chase down the wires, get everything connected and mounted. Ron’s working on the fuel tank today. We’re tired of pushing it every time we need to...

Thanks zzrodder! It’s been a real experience and I couldn’t have picked a better person than Ron to lead the way to this point. I’ve been like a kid in the candy store and no one there to tell you you can’t do or have anything you want. The transformation has just been incredible to be a part of.

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/15/22 Today we celebrated our two year anniversary on this project. The rear of the car is finished! Wow what a journey it’s been and I couldn’t have done this without Ron. I’ll let the pics speak for themselves. Thank you Ron!

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/14/22 Deck lid painted and if all goes as planned finished and installed for the last time this week! Fabricated my console mount for the radio today. Turned out better than I thought. I’ll finish it this week, cover with carpet, mount the radio and get it wired so...

Thanks Burgerman!

Thanks Old Iron! That is where we are checking but haven’t found anything YET! It almost has to be in that new fuse block. We’ve check all of our schematics and everything is connected correctly.

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/13/22 Mounted the license plate frame/third stop light today. Drilled some holes in the bumper and installed nutserts. I just luv those things! They give such a clean look with an easy way to securely fasten items. Finished prepping the deck lid today so paint...

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/11/22 FINALLY got the call to pick up my bumpers Thursday. So up early Friday morning and back by the afternoon. Gave the back of the bumpers a coat of etch primer and 3M rubberized undercoating. Sure does give them a more detailed look not to mention preventing the...

Thank you, Couper! Depending on the lighting and viewing angle it constantly changes.

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/4/22 All hands on deck today and mission accomplished! Passenger side is on. Modified the base mounts for the side pipes and improved the positioning of the pipes a lot. Good old rule #7. No bumpers until next weekend…one way or the other! Take my money and produce...

Thank you very much!

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/2/22 One step happier today! Driver side all but done. Ron and I were so pleased with the fit of all of our pieces. Everything came together beautifully. Not much longer to the finish line.

The Goldcar Story cont. 6/1/22 More details completed and the driver side is starting to come together. We have everything finished for driver side and ready to install today.

5/27/22 Yesterday was a monumental day! Fired her up and drove out of the garage under her own power. Went for a short shake down cruise and found a few things that need adjustment but for the most part everything performed as expected. Since we aren’t street legal I didn’t take it out on the...

Thanks Bob! That is definitely what this project has been since inception, enjoying and having fun. No way do I even want to know how many hours I’ve invested in this labor of love. The first time my grandfather said we could have bought a new Cadillac if we were paid $.05/hour.

5/2622 Took advantage of being up in the air to shoot a pic of our fuel filter, pump, fuel filter set up for the new efi system. Of course Ron hasn’t let me live down that I installed 3/8” nutzerts to mount the filters and pump. The clamps came with the 3/8 bolts, so good enough for the clamps...

The Goldcar Story cont. 5/24/22 We’re under power! Thanks to Ron for double checking our specs on the fuel pump pressure. I would have sworn I read it was 47psi. After a quick double check Ron discovered it was 43psi. We had to reset the regulator first thing. After the minor adjustment all of...

The Goldcar Story cont. 5/23/22 Not much in the way of pictures lately. Mainly tying up loose ends to make ready to get back under power. Fuel tank finished and installed by Ron. I finalized the wiring for fuel sending unit and power to the fuel pump. Set up the pressure gauge to adjust the...

The Goldcar Story cont. 5/18/22 It sure seems like the car building gods are wanting us to work on this project for a full two years! Here lately it’s two steps forward and one back. Hahahaha Got ready to silver soldier our fuel tank and the package of silver soldier flux leaked out before...
