Made some progress on the trunk... Took some rust prevention measures. Got the left side tacked in and the right side pretty much welded. Found a...
To be honest, I thought about fiberglass or Duraglas on mine. Fitting these small patches has been a pain in the ass. Maybe I should have just cut...
Made up the patch's for the trunk. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Great to see you back at it Anders:)
Nice work!
I love seeing young guys get into the hobby and I would have told him how cool his car was. I'm not a hater as I own a 79 Z-28 and an 86 El Camino...
The Basement has become a bit diluted for sure. A Gremlin, a lot of tubbed cars, and large billet wheels. Some of the Kustoms that were featured...
Gene and I when I took his Fabrication Class several years ago and a pic from this weekends Detroit Autorama in honor of him. Thanks Gene for some...
And a few for the X-Frame crowd. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Here's a few that caught my eye... The Pontiac wagon was a 421 tri-power, 4-speed. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Going Saturday, I'll try to snap a few pics.
Finally worked up the courage/ambition to get going on the trunk. Got the rust cut out to solid, weldable metal. Found a couple parts I needed on...
When you accomplish something just tell us about it and yea, pictures are a must. Even when you find parts you can use. It's part of the story. My...
I just checked it out. I love backyard builds. I'm only on page 3 but I'll catch up on it in the next couple of days
You know the deal, keep swinging that axe. ;)
[ATTACH] Well... I've decided to sell the car in the spring. The car runs and drives. I plated and insured it last spring but I have not taken...
You're getting some terrible responses. A 4 barrel will be a great upgrade. I would look for a OE, pre emissions, Q-jet intake and carb. Fakebook...
I buy old magazines at swap meets because they have articles I'm interested in. I probably read them when they were new but that was so long ago I...
Super Stock heads must check at factory port and chamber volumes for the engine/horsepower claimed. It takes hours and hours of welding and epoxy...
@ALLDONE Thanks, It's Z'd 8" and swept 4". I wanted to channel it but I couldn't get an effective sized radiator short enough to look right with...
Here's my project... [ATTACH]
Very nice work.
Well, another distraction... I was messing with the 63 Belair seat I have for the car. 61-64 seats are supposed to be interchangeable. Turns out...
Yep, build threads are at the top of my list. Jeff Norwell's 57 Ford #2 thread really got me going on my project. I have a build thread but Jeff...
Thanks JJ, great pics!
Body mounts look great (thankfully). The rust is minimal and limited to the pans. And yes, it's getting new bushings. [ATTACH]
I'm diving in. At first glance it doesn't look bad but it's always worse than it looks, lol. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
