Frame build

The frame was painted and the new hardware is installed, disk brakes, springs and such, mike pointed something interesting out while the whole thing was apart, when we got the car it didn't have a sway bar, only took us 3 months to realize that, so now one needs to be ordered, the one good thing of all this is that the original 14 inch rims still fit even with the disk brakes.


Frame stripping

The rest of the frame stripped to bare metal


Begging the frame repair

The front frame got completely torn down and repairs on the body mounts have began, lots of handy work to undo and properly fix.



Firewall repair

While the rear panel has arrived and the quarter panel still in the process of being purchased mike focused on another workable aspect of the car, the firewall and the rust underneath where the wiper motor was leaking, after he was gone he tacked the side cowls on before running out of argon.

all the rust is now gone and filled

 


Rear end damage

YAY, shes back in the garage and more work can commence.

We tried fitting the taillights in correctly but noticed that something wasn't right, the car had been SERIOUSLY rear ended and someone did a VERY god job with Bondo to hide the damage, after a few hits with a screw drive 2 inches fell off the back, long story short, new rear tail light panel and new full rear left quarter



Rolled outside

Mike finally moved into the house and during the move room was needed s the 67 got bolted together and rolled outside for a little while since its the only one that has a windshield
