New addition to the shop

Today we got 1 of 2 new additions to the shop as next projects, 69 and 70 nova, yhese will need a huge ammounts of work

69 Heater box

Restoring the 69 inner heaterbox, disasembled, blasted, primed and painted, just need to assemble and install after the firewall is finished

Guage cluster

Gave the 67 guage cluster a face lift, the original fell and broke and the replacement came out of a green car, deffinately not going to look right, so a little clean up, sanding primering and paint and now its ready to install

Hood

Fitting the new cowl induction hood, looks much better then the original flat hood

New metal

Picked up some parts from camaro junction, hood, right quarter, inner and outer fenderwells and the rear valance, almost everything thats needed for the rear end

67 Rear Cutting

Started on the cutting process of the 67 rear, got the left quarter off and noticed that we might have to also change the inner and outer fender housing and posibly the shock supports. Gives us a better access to install the rear sway bar and the new 5 leafs instead of the mono that are currently on the car. at this stage will probably also change the old rear axle to the new one. All that will happen if the weather improves, it is currently way to cold to do any work on the cars

67 Rear End Damage Assesment

Took yet another good look into the 67 rear end damage, came to the conclusion that both the quarters, taillight panel, inner valance and both frame rails will need to be replaced, thankfully the left quarter and taillight panel is already in the shop. Now all that is left to do is cut it out, and get the remainder of the parts to the shop

 

67 Interior Wiring

The Interior wiring is almost complete, all the gauges are wired in, the car starts with the key now and the transmission wiring is also complete, all is missing now is the heater control box which we have been waiting on for 6 weeks now, hopefully we will get it soon so that the dash can be completely buttoned up.

New Blower Motors

Received new blower motors today, the shaft for the squirrel cage is a hair to long and keeps rubbing on the heater core, so mike came up with an ingenious solution on how to make them fit and not rub the heater core, sanding them down a little works wonders.

69 Firewall Sealed

Work started on the 69 Firewall, its all sealed and now just need to wait for the weather to get warmer to paint the firewall and install the front clip.
