Yeah Bryce loves to be out there...but to be honest it's hard to trust a 3 yr old with a painted car...simply gonna have to limit his garage time I guess?

I think she deserves to be the one to start the motor the first time...she's been one hell of an understanding wife threw all this! :)

That's funny same thing happened to me, wife found me sound asleep under the front end. Good times!! congrats, let the fun begin.

Very cool! My 3 yr old son loves going into the garage to work on "the broken car" too. Your car is going to look great.

W

Very nice.

Anthony it looks great, my wife loved the blue. I know you are excited.

Congrats!

Well it stopped raining for a little while so I rolled it out and hosed off some reamaining polishing compound and spray mask that was on the black surfaces. I must say this is a crazy color to photograph due to all the pearl in it. Looked killer sitting outside...happy days!

Also I want to mention that we used Prodigy's SS fastener kit on the car, it's a very nice and complete kit!

I took more pics yeasterday before I hosed it down and it started raining before I could take more...so these will have to do. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e.../IMG_02351.jpg
Ready for assembly!!

The deck lid wasn't latched so the spoiler gaps aren't as tight as they really are.

Word! KD and Travis do need to be mentioned...thanks guys!!

I didn't mind cleaning it a little...gave me time to get to know it!!! :)

:woot:

5 months of rainy weather to get it finished (so you can drive it for 3) :lol:

Looking forward to updates.

:cool:

Just got back from visiting with Tony and have to say pics don't do this car justice, the depth of color even sitting in the garage is awesome! Congrats Tony, the car is looking :thumbsup: :cheers: :woot: :yes:

Thanks for stopping by!! And I appreciate the kind words!! :cheers:

Looks awesome. Keep up the good work.:thumbsup:

Looks nice I like that color !
Wayne

I agree on the color great choice goes perfect with the black rims The split spoiler idea was great. Do you plan on going nuts on the interior of keeping her pretty much orig.
dave

Dave the interior will stay semi-stock with exception of Sparco seats w/ back seat recovered to match, custom dash, Lokar hand e-brake, vintage air, cut pile carpet w/ matching floor mats from ACC, ect.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! Haven't done much to the car yet waiting for some more parts to roll in...but they are showing up just about daily now!!

Here's a mock up pic.

im loving that color:thumbsup: your interior is looking great! your project just gives more and more motivation on my project

i cant believe i missed this thread ,,,looks awesome man :thumbsup: congrats

Car looks great. I like your gauge placement

x2. We need more pics, Tony! :woot:

True. How about some pics of the ame cage installed :thumbsup:

I really like what you did in the center dash
 

area. Very sweet

Thanks guys!
 

I didn't want to loose the styling of the dash, but had to package more than stock would allow. I cut the whole center out and started over. The unpainted area is all new and hand build...then butt welded in. Notice there isn't an ash tray and I moved the head unit up for an easier reach. It's all painted now of course, but will be a while before I install all the parts for the final time. Here's a close up of the work area. I'm sure a pro could have gotten more creative, but I'm happy with it!! :)

I'm thinking the blue on the harnesses will match the body color well! Got to coordinate!!

I like it! :thumbsup: How do you like those seats?


Paul

I'll find some, I know I have some. It did fit well, very pleased with it!

BTW, today I'm starting in on a little project, I'm changing the street rod style 4-bar links over to DSE Swivel Links...should help with any binding I might of had!

Ok, I'll look for those pics now....

Thanks Paul!
I love the seats! Very high quality, they recline using an infinate dial, and flip forward...a must with kids!

I got all my Sparco gear and seat mounts from Jim @ http://www.motorsportseats.com/ He gives all our members a nice discount!

My first trip to SEMA I was on a mission to find a seat for this car...at the end of the week I found my self back where I started, the Sparco booth...go figure! But at least I felt better about the purchase!

The car look GREAT:hail: with the black wheels how wide are the wheel

Thanks very much Kendall!
The wheels/tires are:
18x11.5 W/ 315 tire
18x9 w/ 245 tire

Ok, figured it was just easier to take new pics of the AME roll bar. I opted for the bent down bars and I used a Chris Alston swing-out kit on the harness bar. I actually ordered an 8 point roll bar but decided against using the door bars and tubes that install at the rear passenger's feet...this is a family car after all...got to keep it comfy and usable...yeah right! :_paranoid

Very clean install

X2 :thumbsup:

I love your center gauge placement.. I will be stealing that idea for my next car.. :yes:

Thanks! The main hoop is tilted a little and inline with what would be the 'B' piller and is very hard to see (froma side view) when the quarter window is up...owe that idea to Stielow! And I wanted full use of the trunk so I installed the down bars as far forward as possible.

Thanks Steve, that means a lot! I thought about angling them to the driver a little but that makes it harder for a co-pilot to read, this way everyone has good visability.

So, another '68 in the near future? That a boy!! :thumbsup:

Looks great....Frank and the boys are finishing my roll bar up later this week and I am not sure about the cross bar yet. I am thinking it would be nice if I ever want to road race it and use racing harnesses. I, like you wanted to keep the back seat usable incase I do want to go out to dinner with a friend and the ladies. I also think it's a plus for resale. I like your idea about the bar lining up with the quarter window trim.

Looks good Anthony, keep it up.

Looking Good, Tony!! Keep the pics comin'!

Man I love that blue! Great progress.
