Lt1_8U · 02-28-2012, 10:16 PM

i finally have a garage! definitely need to sort some stuff out but its a start

Lt1_8U · 05-06-2012, 10:20 AM

some updates

air cleaner and valve covers, i got a great deal on them.

picked up at the swap meet

got this from J&W nova parts

starting to prep the front end today and i will start painting next weekend hopefully, keeping it autumn gold with black stripes on the hood

Lt1_8U · 05-06-2012, 10:27 AM

new headlamp bezels and i cleaned up the original grill and painted it like an SS one. Line lock is hooked up and all the brake lines are new and installed

roll cage cage just padded it up, its welded to the trunk frame and the main hoop is welded into the frame connectors

Making moves there huh! Are you painting it yourself or are you having your brother do it? Maybe I can stop by after work next weekend and check out the fresh paint

yeah that would be cool, im doing the front end so that its completely done and then im doing the motor and what not then the small rust spots out back

Featherburner · 05-06-2012, 02:38 PM

Any reason you went with a 69 front bumper?

chrisfrom nj · 05-06-2012, 05:04 PM

the car is looking great when are you going to drop in the engine and trans and get the car running

i like the parking lights a lot better on the 68-69, they are smaller whereas the 70 and up are large. its not anything special, just a 4 cylinder car so i figure im going to do it to my liking rather than back to its original self.

thanks! hopefully by end of summer now im just saving after i paint the front end. ive got a crank, heads, block and some accessories, i need to buy a trans, run my fuel lines, machine the heads and buy a rotating assembly.
