Gotta have a frame before you can start reassembling.

How's the engine/drivetrain choice going? May I suggest...

if it was up to me, and if i had a crapload of money, i'd love to do a restomod like that. haha. heck, even just an ls1 would be great. but the owners want to rebuild the 327, so it's at a shop right now. if it's like the frame, their two month estimate will probably be closer to 6 months.

Moving on...

 

[hey_mikey]

Except for the rear sway which still needs to be painted, the rear end is all linked up (suspension wise at least)!

 

[hey_mikey]

Brake lines, rear park brake cables, and front crossmember in

It has to feel awesome to be moving forward now!

Yup! It feels great! Lots to do for now, at least until we hit the next roadblock.

Good stuff....think I might need to drop by and check it out in person....

Haven't updated this in a while because I haven't been able to work on it much. Had to play catch up for the last two weeks since i was on vacation for over two weeks when I went back to Hawaii. Anyway, here's some pics

You have a ton more to do. Keep up the progress though.

wow lol... like night and day!

 

[KennyGS]

You're doing a beautiful job so far.

Nice build, it looks great so far. It takes a special person to restore a car... I did this to a 84 corvette and I doubt ill ever do it again. At least the body is fiberglass because I hate doing rust work. I don't mind fixing all those little hair line cracks in Fiberglass lol. Ill stick to fixing modern cars haha.
