i had a slight incident with my front beam the other month, it snapped at the shock tower, so i decided to take the car of the road to give it a good going over and another change around. ill post up some pics of the current re-vamp progress soon it's going to be a wile until its finished but so far so good. i'm aiming to have it ready for the start of the 2013 show season. |

hello again folks, finaly got a few fliks together to share of the progress on my 70 sedan. the inspection and strip down begins.  beam removed and after a good inspection of the rest of the car we could see that major repair work was going to be needed. so decide a full resto was in order.  the beam was in an incedably poor shape and it really opened my eyes on insuring my cars are safe and sound  so the body came off and chassis was stripped right down to the spine   |

so much more still do to do. most of the metal is now completed. still got engine to fix up, body prep and fresh paint (wich i will do at work in the bake booth ) full re-wire, interior will get a big re-vamp too. lots of time and monies is going to be needed, to get to the next step, so im taking time out with the 70 over the summer season, to have some fun with family and friends and visit a few car events. to do this i obtained a new addition to our fleet. a 1967 sedan with faux ragtop. it became avalable at a very good price wich i just could not refuse. of coarse me being me, i had to change it around a little, to give the car my mark. i will post pics of that car on here soon |
