i would have to agree that the viper red is one of the best reds out there !

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks

Wow that looks great, hope mine comes out that nice. I definitely made the right choice.

They all look the same to me, bright and shiney lol. I don't know if they are all the same or not.


Thanks, I absolutely love the color and can't wait until it is painted.

Nice build!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thankyou.

For the past couple of weeks I have been working on replacing the inner bottoms and re-skinning both doors, don't have alot of time to work on it so its taking forever. Will try to get some pics up this weekend. Also coated the inside of the doors with rust converter, then rust encapsulator, bedliner then finish them off with some Boom Mat. Hopefully they won't rust anytime soon and should sound solid when closing.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Some Pics as promised. First one is of Passenger door after spraying boom mat on. I had already sprayed rust converter, rust encapsulator and bedliner before the boom mat. Now its ready for the skin to go on.

Next couple of pics are of the rust work on the Drivers side door. Replaced the inner door bottoms, fixed the rusted out upper hinge area and fixed the upper part of the door on the latch side.

Very nice work on the rust repair. Keep hammering

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks Chris, I dont have a link but I got them off of eBay motors, I just searched 82-92 Camaro rear sway bar. They are listed all the time. I think I got them for $15-20.

Thanks Mike, I really hate rust lol

After much deliberating and numerous emails with Nate, I called up Jon at Porterbuilt Direct and ordered some tubular control arms, upper bag plates and 4 Slam Specialties SS7 bags. I don't plan to lay frame, just want it to be bagged with stock inner fenders and bed floor. Already have C-notch in frame.

I just want to thank Nate for putting up with all my nagging emails and helping me out with all my questions and also Jon for giving me a good deal on the whole package. Porterbuilts customer service is top notch and I will definitely be ordering from them again. One of the best companies I have dealt with. I'm so excited to get everything in.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Nice! Going to be sweet!!!!

Also, great work on the rust repair!!!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks, she won't lay frame but it's good enough for me and should look awesome.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

We need a smiley face for 'jealous' .. Keith, reading back through your build at the very first you mentioned "It seems I have been working on it a year and nothing's done but the frame" .. I cracked up. :lol:

Um, Nooo .. it's not.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

no control arms yet? !!!!!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

No not yet but Nate did tell me it would be a few weeks before I got them. I ordered them with the ball joints moved forward 1" to center the wheels in the wheel wells so they had to be built. Its ok though I don't need them yet, I'm finishing up my doors now.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Tracking shows them arriving on Thursday the 16th!!!!!! :metal:

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Wow thanks Nate I'm excited.
