Havent put up pictures here yet. Bought it from a member on here January 08, sold it to my buddy April 08 were it sat at our work until Februaryish. I worked out a deal with him to build a frame for it in trade for my old 67 Riviera. Basicly we put in a s10 front suspension, and rear axle. Frame is bagged with Air Lift Dominator bags set up to sit 1'' off the ground bottomed out. It still has "some" of the stock frame attatched to the rotted floor boards. I recently started the lower sheetmetal work and have the passenger side bottom half pretty much done. I might put up pictures later of "the old work"...not really anything nice. Lots of bondo and other nasty stuff. The goal is to get the lower half of the car done, cut out the old floor and frame, attach the new frame. Building my own smooth floor boards out of 16 gauge sheetmetal. And then going to redo the chop, because it doesnt look right and isnt that great. And some were in there the new frame needs body mounts, trans mount, motor mounts, and gas tank mounts and then going back to my work for powder coat. blah blah blah here are some pictures. the way I got it...pictures are decieving new frame (all brackets were cut on water jet ) new sheetmetal, inner and outer rockers, front and rear quarter patch's *and yes, that is my chick stripping the paint no promises on next time pictures will be updated. I work on it in spare time when im not burnt out on welding and grinding at work. Next steps are to finish d.a'ing the passenger side quarter, then fix above the wheel well then on to the driver side.
That's a pretty wild set-up on the frame Chad. Glad to see you are making progress on it. Hope it wasn't listed as "Just needs paint".
shave the door handles, suicide doors, fix the chop, shave tail lights, some kind of LED tail lights. I heard they offer 7'' H.I.D headlights from a co-worker, if they do I'll go for those. Headlights are getting flushed in, not fond of mercury style frenched headlights. Then if I could figure out how to properly pancake the trunk...that will happen. Dave, I dont remember the listing 100%, but it was pretty accurate on the car's actual shape. Previous owner was pretty honest.
Sick!! I love your frame! I remember that car. I have some pics of it somewhere in a file. When i bought my project i was doing research and those pics were somewhere online, the same as you posted on the trailer. I love the chop! It's gonna be KILLER!! Ian I just realized you said you're rechopping it, from the pics it looks nice though! Rad project!!
yeah, its got pieces of the beltline cut off and rear window doesnt appear to be back far enough and or laid down enough. All needs to be corrected. Im having fun with the resto/custom rebuild which everyone seems to find funny. Especially after cutting off old rotted steel from the bottom. I saved some of it due to hilarity of massive amounts of bondo, fiberglass mat and other wrong doings. It will be worth it in the end though.
this thing is for sale for a measly 800 bucks http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=364070
