HAFRODs 78 Aeroback Salon build

[HAFROD]

Last night just before dark, I took my wife on a 5 mile drive. She was impressed on how smooth it was. I had an issue with rolling down the passenger window. It made a horrible sound. I found the felt on one of the window guides was worn down and hard. I removed it and wire wheeled off the glue. I then cut a strip of the soft side of Velcro and stuck it on. No more sound. In total yesterday, 4 five mile drives. We have nice paved 35mph back roads behind our neighborhood. I did get it on the highway for one mile and got up to 65MPH. It has a bad vibration coming from the back. I completely forgot that the tire shop told me that my rims were bent. I had put them on the rear. I have two extra rims so I'm going to break them down, blast, paint, and assemble.

Great restomod!!!With all these mishaps on this butless I'd say BARRICADE it in a corner and sell to the highest bidder!!! Then you could put the profit in a frame off build of the double S,elco and maybe have enough to buy my grand naughty or ttype

Today I re wet sanded the drivers door and quarter panel. I sanded and buffed it fairly quickly after painting it last summer and it has shrank up on me. I re tagged it with 2500 paper and compounded it. I moved onto #2 and a soft pad, then hand rubbed it one direction. Took about 5 hours. I'm glad I taped up all the nooks and crannys because I had compound dust everywhere. I will glaze it all when I finish the passengers side. I need to do the passengers door and quarter, a spot on the header, and the deck lid again. There is nothing better than having a glass like reflection in your panels. It makes my cheap paint look awesome. It has a date with the exhaust shop in the morning. I have a pair of Summit turbo mufflers going on. Going to kick the tail pipes out behind the rear tires

Congrats on your amazing progress. Loved the video. I find the car is so gorgeous,that raised white letter tires are almost distracting. Almost not worthy to be the official tire of your build. Lol. Perhaps solicit manufacturers for the official tire of your Salon? Again,amazing...thanks for sharing your work.
