We picked her up from my body guy today.
Phase I bodywork / prep is completed. My guys did a steller job as always. Back at the shop we masked it off and Raptor lined the bottom side. Early next week we will take it off the rotisserie and drop in the rear 4 link suspension, bolt on the front clip and deliver it back to the bodyshop for color. |
Glad to see some progress buddy.

Looking good. Very nice body to start with also. Next to 69 camaros, 66-67chevy II's are beautiful cars.
. Is Raptor a truck bed lining of some sort? What made you go with this over painting it with a slick finish? Just curious as I am still on the fence what to do with my wife's 69. |
Thanks Guys !
Yes Raptor is a truck bedliner and comes in a kit. IMO it is the nicest finish of all the bedliners out there. Great texture, not to "chunky", great color sheen (not too dull, not too shiney) etc. And for $110 you cant beat the price. The reason we went with this over painting (believe me I had second thoughts after seeing how nice the floors were on this car) was because we've done several high dollar builds for clients with painted body color floors, polished stainless exhaust, detailed to the 9's etc only to be a maintance headache. This car is going to driven... ALOT. I dont want to spend days on my back detailing the underside. A simple hose rinse and it'll be as good as new. |

Moving along..... TCI Subframe connectors and 4-Link Kit Installed. TCI/Currie 9" housing assembly installed :willy:

Very nice. Looking good.:thumbsup:

Nice job Steve! Is the rear going to have an airbag/air shock or stock shock?

Great looking pics and parts :cheers:
|
Thanks Guys....
Doug.... I am really on the fence. Originally I wanted Air Bags, but am leaning towards Coil-Overs. I am still undecided. I'd love to bag it but routing the lines for a super clean look will take alot of thru-frame bulkheads at this point. This will be one of those last mintute "pull the trigger" decisions :_paranoid |

The "Bitch" has taken a back seat for the past few weeks but we are back on it. Here are some pics of the interior and truck. The floors were coated with a semi gloss black epoxy and the trunk was finished with Raptor like the underside. Also we are very thankfull to Jim, Mike and Staci at Ring Brothers for helping us out with a set of door handles. These things are killer but we cant leave well enough alone. I have plans for these.... :unibrow:

So.... what happens when your car sits for weeks ?
You get more ideas..... :unibrow: Out with the old..... in with the new.... (dash that is). http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...d/IMG_0135.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...d/IMG_0136.jpg |

Looking really good Steve!:thumbsup:
|
what type of foam are you using for the dash?
|
Thanks guys.....
GM: Its a super dense hard foam similar to that which you would find in a hull of a boat. Its very easy to carve and sand to shape. Once we have the desired look we will fiberglass resin the top piece. It will remain two pieces so we can easily remove it to wire the dash. It will be finished in a two tone leather. The top will be black and the bottom will be........ |

Looking good Steve, Columbus?
|
Thats the plan..... for now.
I am having a hard time finding time to work on it. But I am sure when things start to come together in the next few weeks :unibrow: I'll get my butt in gear real quick. The interior pieces are unfreakinbelievable. (Yes thats a word... I just made it up.) |
I'm glad the interior guy is working out for you.

What can you say about the parts Jim and Mike Ring are making ? After some thought, I decided to swap out the polished set we got, for a set of these. They are actually too nice to put on the car... :lol: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...d/IMG_0503.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...d/IMG_0505.jpg |
