Welcome to page 3 |
I have a lot of work to do and I plan on documenting it, it just seems I havent done much , But I have painted the trunk with the factory spacle paint. I have stripped and painted the underbelly. I have fixed, primed and installed both fenders, installed the cocktail shakers and some misc.. If you arent aware of the cocktail shaker?? The 67 convertible had a wobble problem at high speeds and the 68 added very heavy weights to all 4 corners. Each one is at least 40 lbs. I will get some pics and fix this soon.. |

3/15/02 Here are a few pics. I am trying to get to work on the car now. I am at the mindset now to just do something , one little thing at a time and finish by july 2003. I HOPE |
Is this cool or what. I would love my engine to look this good. Different color but soon. |
I bought a money tree 2 years ago and it still hasn't grown any money. I bought it just to fund the car too. Oh well. |
11/3/02 It has been a while but hopefully I am back. I installed all the rear end componente, leaf springs, shocks, brakes. I replaced the bearings and seals in the rear end. The car actually rolls on 4 wheels now. I just got all my engine parts back and will be assembling that. I had the cylinders bored, new pistons. I had the crank turned and had everything ballanced. I also had a new garage built and the car will be moving in soon. Anyhow here are a few pics. |

8/10/03 Well here we go. The new garage is up and the car is in it. I installed all the brake lines, gas lines and new tank. The fuel tank was badly dented. I went through the wireing harnesses and got them in. I think I am about 500 bucks from turning the key. I have to start it by the end of summer because I cant let $3500 and a gazillion hours of labor freeze up and rust internally over the winter. Running it during the rest of the restoration will be nice. |
