I have had trouble uploading pic's to the site. Always the size is too big, so I tried these from my phone. I am going for old school looks: black with flames, pinup on back, chrome wheels, wht/red tuck & roll interior. But new technology: IFS with power steering, power disc brakes. vintage a/c, power windows with Roloc switches that use the original window cranks, seat heaters, cruise control. Power is 305sbc, 700R4, Plymouth 8-3/4 rear end. I'll post more pics later in the week.
took some more pic's. out of the paint shop in April after lots of work. it needed patch panels on both door bottoms, both front lower quarters, tail panel. They did a great job, cant say enough good about them. Only took him 2-3 months, quite the exception compared to most body shops. Raw Body & Custom in Omaha if anyone needs work done. I am rewiring it now, then to gl*** shop, then upholstery. hope to be done this summer thanks for the positive comments
seats are done, took them to upholstery shop when it came home from body shop. Dave's Auto Upholstery, Blair, NE
just finished this panel to take the place of the speaker grill. started with a piece of machine turned aluminum from Speedway Mtrs. cut to fit, radiused corner, layout template on back (that was harder than I thought I would be, doing it all in reverse), then a slow bend to match dash curve, then cut holes. I was afraid if I cut it 1st, it wouldnt bend evenly. Vintage Air controls, cruise control switches, and seat heater switches.
