It will look like this when it's done..

stealthy '69 · 08-23-2011, 02:27 AM

I like it a lot.

I've always loved those wheels too, to bad they aren't made in a 5x5 bolt pattern.

stealthy '69 · 08-25-2011, 09:03 PM

I don't know if you got the wheels for your car yet, but there is a set listed on cl not too far from you. Closer to me, but still not too far.

Bob 68327 · 08-26-2011, 11:10 PM

I have a brand new set of weld draglites that are going on my car so it will look a little different than the picture..

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-13-2011, 12:46 AM

Bob, I hope you enjoyed sitting in it before oyu took it apart. The long hard road extends before you'll be turning the key sitting there again!

You'll get it though.

383Chevy · 09-13-2011, 01:09 AM

Wish i could start a project, but i wouldnt have the money. i really want a 67-69 camaro. bump for a great start to a nice chevelle

Yup drove it up and down the driveway a few times with the old 307 in it ... It will be a totally different kinda of monster the next time I drive it

going to pick up the new body parts for it this weekend

BMERDOC · 09-13-2011, 10:57 PM

OOOO AAAHHH, Love me an A body! Just saw a White w/black stripe, SS454 this past weekend. Not sure if it was real but left me droolin! There is an ol' lady in town that drives that car, color and all, baldy hub caps and straight looking from across the intersection.

Bob 68327 · 09-21-2011, 11:37 PM

Good day!!! Bought a truck load of sheetmetal .... Full Quarters,Doors,Fenders,Decklid,Radiator support,and trunk floor. this should keep me busy for the next 2 years... Second pic is the radiator support and front fenders mocked up .. I'm starting to get excited....

spudz · 09-22-2011, 10:24 AM

awesome!

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-22-2011, 03:38 PM

2 years? You should have it running by spring!

All those new parts look great Bob!

Bob 68327 · 09-24-2011, 11:26 PM

Here are a few better pics .. Not taken with my crappy cell phone... And i tried on the new hood... Enjoy

Bob 68327 · 09-24-2011, 11:27 PM

One more of the wheels....

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-25-2011, 12:09 AM

Looks better already Bob!

Bob 68327 · 10-31-2011, 10:28 PM

Been a while since i updated .. I now have the doors hung . i have been working on getting the loose rust out of the trunk and as i figured there wasn't much left

That must be why I bought a trunk floor also... Next up finish door adjustment and cut out the rest of the trunk floorand replace it . Then on to the rear quarters and wheel houses. Also scored a very nice set of headlight extensions I had to try on ... Enjoy the pics..... Bob

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-31-2011, 10:39 PM

Nice progress Bob. Your trunk floor looks like my 68 GS. Not cool.

spudz · 11-01-2011, 08:49 AM

Its coming along great! my 72 needs all the same metal work yours does.

67mater · 11-03-2011, 10:13 PM

more!

Bob 68327 · 01-27-2012, 08:46 PM

Small update .. i will pick up the rest of the sheetmetal i need this weekend ... So more update pics comming soon....

spudz · 02-13-2012, 03:18 PM

884x4Sub · 02-13-2012, 10:23 PM

I bought a 2 piece pan from amd

Bob 68327 · 02-14-2012, 12:08 AM

Not much to take pics of I'm currently replacing all the body bushings so the trunk and quarters can go on . Old rusty cage nuts and body bushings are a PITA

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-14-2012, 06:26 PM

Yes they are! Good luck with it Bob!
