Well I had to back and repair some rust I found while welding on the inner fender panels. The front frame rail on the drivers side was rusted thru on the top under the shock tower and one of the ears that mount the upper control arm was rusted out completely. In order to give myself easier...

I saw in someone else's post they took the cowl apart and epoxy painted the inside and reassembled. With all those spot welds holding it together I went with another approach. After numerous wash outs with the hose and blowing it out in between with the end caps off. I then taped all the holes...

I have a parts car that I was able to get what I needed to repair the cowl rust. My firewall had been hacked up also so I decided to try to fix it all at one time. I carefully disassembled the front clip from the floor seam up. Just to see what I was getting into. After looking everything over...

More pictures of fitting the quarter panel. This is what the car started out looking like. Those guys did a good job of hiding things. The quarters started bubbling. Then the front fenders. Next the hood fell apart where the hinges attach. Then came the dreaded of all rust. Cowl rust...

I'm having trouble finding time to keep this thread updated. The first few pictures show that I have replaced the outer wheel house, trunk extension and rocker panel. Then we move onto the quarter panel and installing the Dynamic Renovation kit to fix the broken door striker mounting area.

After removing the quarter the outer wheel house and trunk extension were removed. Then the entire outer rocker was full of holes. So it was removed and replaced. I had ordered new window rollers and while it was wide open I replaced them.

Found lots of rust covered over with fiberglass in the trunk. Over around the inner wheel house it was all fiberglass. I have a donor car so I cut it out and welded the patch in. Then across the entire width it was gone also. So I removed that and made a patch to fill that area in. Then came...

This started out as removing the vinyl roof to see how much rust there was under it. It wasn't to bad just about 12 inches under one side. So I cut it out and repaired it with a patch. Then moving on to others things is when the problems began. Having problems locating pictures will download later.

Just read threw your thread. I have a 68 GTS with a small block and one of these days I'll be doing the same thing.

Are you 50 yet? Beautiful Car. When you going to give me a ride.

How do you get your parts zinc plated?

Just read threw your thread. Don't let the beast lie. Your workmanship is awesome.

I used an electric heat gun, putty knife, razor blade scraper and lots of elbow.

Looks like your parts are in and now it's time to get them installed. Get er done.

Chip, Love the build. Thanks for sharing. My wife had non Hodgkin lymphoma. She's ten years free now. You can beat it. Prayers for you and your family. Last thing why are there adapters on the small block heads your bro in law built??

Did you file any action with ebay? Don't they have some sort of $50,000.00 guarantee?

Quality Stuff...

Nothing like those 6 am wake up's. Been there before and now it's the grands doing it. Usually starts with, Papa me hungry. lolol

How about a picture of your gauges mounted. Just read thru your build. Keep it going so the wife will be happy. Be sure to keep us posted the next time you and your buds take a CRACK at it. lol

VDART, Set up a work day some weekend and I'll come down and help. Let me know.

Are you going to run a mechanical fuel pump or electric?

Looks like a fun build. Enjoy your time building it.

Reported Why?????? That is an incredible dash, but I don't see a speedo.

I noticed the bracket that holds your fuel filter. Looks great. Did you make it?

Your car is coming along great. You and your helper's make it look so easy. That orange color is awesome. I really love the tri5's also. I mostly watched and helped my buddy build a 57 Belair 2dr straight axle gasser last year. The car has a tilt front end using all stock parts.

Nice ride George. I just started looking thur the resto threads and came across yours. Looks like your dong a fantastic job. How did you mount the gages on the cowl? I'm looking for different places and ways of mounting them. I bought a set of 2 5/8's gages and now trying to figure out a...

Are you using a wiring kit? If so what brand?

You will get it fixed and put back together. You have done a super job so far so don't give up. I just read this thread all the way through and have been very impressed with everything you have done. I too bought a car several years ago that looked better 10 foot away. Espescially after having...

What kind of shifter did you built into the console?

Great Project. I enjoyed reading thru it today. My buddy and several of us helpers built a 57 Chevy straight axle drag car over the winter. It turned out nice and has a one piece tilt front end using all orginal sheetmetal.
