1963 GT Hawk - putting it back together

[fpstude]

It's been four years, but progress is being made. Wow, this is a lot of parts. There are boxes of tag and bag ziplock containers with nuts and bolts. I hope I can figures out what my description meant then.

Okay Jon, you don't need to bug me anymore.

Four years and a move...... Hope you can find all the parts. I can't wait to see the final product. Steinkamp ain't the only one that builds perfect cars. Look for this picture in a future issue of Hawk Talks. Thanks Perry.

Good that you bagged and tagged!

There's a point when you do enough of 'em that you can pick up a piece and tell where it goes. That's when you know ya need to get a life.

Thanks, Jon, but Dick is in a completely different league. As an example, I have a box of adjustable trim fasteners I will use to install the stainless trim along the top of the fenders I learned about from Dick on this forum. I remember the photo he posted showing the stainless steel on the door in perfect alignment with the trim on the back fender.

I think Jon is the one with the perfect cars. I'll trade anything I have for either one of his...any day.

Perry,
You're lucky that YOU are the one that disassembled it. The last three cars I've done were apart before I got them (but with my poor memory it probably wouldn't matter ). Here's the Wagonaire fresh off the delivering carrier...







Good luck with your Hawk. I believe the 63's were the best of the best.

Perry and I are both giggling about that one. Perry has seen my cars up close. Both very nice but far from perfect. That's what I get when I don't do the work myself and drive them all the time.

It always makes me nervous when Perry walks up to my car. It's like he's got radar that takes him straight to the imperfection I was hoping people wouldn't notice. And most people don't. That's what makes him a great judge at meets. Nothing gets by his eagle eye. (hey, that rhymes)
