Chris, thanks for posting the build pictures. I don't post a lot here but I felt the need to chime in and note that I find it amazing how critical some people are being on this thread. I'm getting the since that the majority of the critics have never completed multiple cars themselves and actulaly done this type of metal work before. As someone with a dozen or so cars under their belt I wanted to take the time and say how impressed I am with the work you guys are doing in such a short time and the correct decisions you are having to make on the fly. Your work thus far from what I see is top notch and I would be thrilled to have a car built by you guys (if I didn't have the skills/tools to build my own).
Looking forward to the finished product. |

If anyone would like to question how or why we do something I do not have a problem with it. I will show every picture of a build and hide nothing as you can see. That is what sets our shop from most others, we are not afraid to show you guys how to do stuff right and have lots of details to prove what we are doing will look right when finished. There are a lot of guys that will say that’s not how I would do it or why did you do that and when it comes to building cars there is really no wrong way to do things as long as it’s done right. I just wanted to show you guys the correct way to patch a panel and how to protect it so it won’t rust out again. I figure that this post was a perfect one for what to watch for, even the best guys can miss stuff when buying a car and that can cost you a ton. This is more to show everyone out there that even a car that looks perfect can have $20K in rust problems and set you back weeks. This car is nice but had issues, I would have not bought it knowing what I know now. I would have found a clean donor car to work with, one that I know has rust and where it is. I would say that about 80% of everyone selling cars on EBAY and the forums is covering stuff up. I have yet to really buy a car that was as good as stated. That is why I try to always buy stock with as close to original paint as possible. If nothing else people that have seen this car will now know that there can be bad stuff on every car and it’s hard to find till you really get into it. You live and learn and try to buy better next time. I bought this car mostly for the parts so at the end of the day I got a decent price on a car because I was able to sell off all the parts. Nothing on this car was untouched. New everything |

Cool thread, thx for showing us the whole build process. :thumbsup:
Awesome to see a car go from start to finish in like 2-3 days :lol: I could have learned alot from a thread like this years back when I started my project. :yes: |
As usual, great build guys.
Keep us posted.:thumbsup: |
:drool: :drool: That's looking awesome.
Is the headliner custom made? It would be cool to see what's involved in that process. I have a really dumb question for you. Why build the center console out of metal? Durability? And thanks for posting all the pics; they help me out with my project. |
OK guys, I feel the need to jump back in this thread to clarify a couple things. I never meant for my post to sound like I was putting down the work being done or come across as someone that can do a better job, that's not the case. I asked the questions for the reason of wanting to get an answer... plain and simple. I began building my 57' Chevy many years back and have yet to finish it, and will begin my 69' Camaro soon. There are a few panels that I chose to "patch" as you guys did and there is a part of me that thinks I didn't do it the "best" way. I see a big name shop doing the same sort of thing I did and it makes me sort of rethink my decision... Maybe my car is done better built than I thought, I have just always viewed "patching" as the cheap and easy way out, not to say it is wrong, but not the 100% best way of repair. Guys, I am only expressing - MY - views, not saying that what I think is the final word in right or wrong, I am not an arrogant person. I appolagize if my post was taken the wrong way, I tried to make it clear I wasn't trying to question your ability or knowledge, only looking for reason. Best of luck finishing the car, it is looking pretty good (alot better than I could do myself)!

Chris, thanks for posting up all of these pics. Nice to see in one continuous thread! Does the air ride 4-link require the trunk floor to be cut for clearance? Was all that cross bracing from air ride? Thanks again, Ron
|
I'd say that a large persentage of cars out there are that way. A good paint job has ruined many ambitions. We have a hard time telling people that after we blast the car there won't be much left of it. I'd rather buy a car with sun burnt paint any day over someone elses build. Car looks great now.
