Seeing some progress FINALLY...65 Resto

[GS66]

Very nice Dan, you got a lot done since I was there!

Thanks to all,
I hit it hard last week but I think I will regroup. I still have to fit up my tail lights and block out the fenders. Every time I think I have them ready I find more work. I sent the portivents to the chrome shop in Brillion,Wisconsin,and waiting to get them back together. Dan

Dan,

Looking great. On your post July 8, I have a pic of a tag like that on another car.
I'll find it. It was spot welded to a fender, not the core support.

Mark,
 I believe the number is too long to be a vehicle identification,but possibly an id tag used for assembly purposes. It could even mean that it was a replacement core support at one time or another? It looked pretty original when I took it apart,but who knows......it sat for 15 years before I bought it. Dan

Looking really good. It's always much more fun to be on this end of a restoration then the teardown side.

Looking forward to more progress.

Dan,

Saw this on a 65 GS fender at a show 2-3 years ago. Fremont built car. Never saw another like it until your post.
Have no idea what its for or why it is there.

Maybe this was a tag for the early replacement fenders  with the gran sport only ventiport holes in the fenders. 😳

The tag is the same size and nearly the same number. I think mine started out 137.... they may be gs specific replacements or original I'd tags from the  assembly bins. I haven't seen any regular skylarks with them,Dan

Looking really good Dan ,  Do you have any kind of a dead line to have it complete ?

Here's one from my 66.  I just assumed it was a replacement fender.

The plot thickens.

I think it is going to start costing me more money than time at this point,so I am limping along. I have several chrome issues to deal with and am not sure how scary it will get. Right now I am just  content that Mark made his 1000 post number on MY project......do I get any bragging rights?

Well !!!  If you slow down and and take your time we could both fire them up at the same time .    LOL
