Yeah -- this is a really old thread!! I was just reading a post about Karma being at Race Rodz!!

I just posted an update on the 55 Post I'm building for my buddy (he had a massive stroke)... with my new little Go Pro camera... Turn your sound down 'cause my narration sucks! :rofl:

Greg, awesome work buddy. You've been busy.:cheers:

Thanks Todd... between tearing mine down -- and putting this one back together - yeah - it's been busy. I don't really like to go to "work" every day... and you really have to in order to get one of these things done. :thumbsup:

Mark -- I know a guy that does really "decent" interior work... it's not that far from you - just a couple of states away... they've shoveled all the snow by now - and...

Oh wait! I think I saw a post about this beauty at the shop (The Recovery Room) I'm thinking about!! :rofl: :rofl:

Looks good greg, I like the gas pump in the back ground, I have restored many of them, Bennett, Tokem, Gilbert?

Thanks Mark! You Camaro is going to be absolutely killer.... Love a drop top!

Remember -- if the top goes down... the price goes up!

Tell ya what -- those little Go Pro cameras are so cute! And they do a pretty good job of video - in a box that's about one inch square. I bought it so I could video the engine dyno... EEEEEEEHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA..

I liked your narration. I think it caused my blood pressure to drop. Its all very serene here now.

:lol:


BTW very nicely done Greg.

I knew Skip wold be diggin on that vid....:lol:

You are correct Flash. :unibrow:

It's a can't miss combo of a black pro-touring '55 built by renowned NW builder Weld & Weld...(and than weld some more).

:D

You mean, 'World renowned,' right? :thumbsup:

Everything done @ home except for the engine machine work.

Its a work in progress, now that the shell is painted we are fixing to dig into the front sheet metal. I finished up my custom lower valance the other week and we test hung the front sheet metal.

The last shot is a pix of our little paint booth :willy:

Nice!

Coming from You ,,Thanks for comment!!! Speaking of tools,, Don't by the Craftsman Laser with tripod base,,A plumb bob doesn't lie, their Laser did,, after ,taking it apart, removing the bubble, re-glueing it then aligning it ,about 2hrs,, yes i killed the warranty,, most calibrated machinist levels don't lie !!A blind man must have tested the Laser !!

BUT I am starting another one VERY soon! You always learn from what you previously do so this next one, a '69 Olds W-31 Pro-Touring Machine should be pretty sweet!!!!

Dave

Thats sick man, I love the late second gens.

Thanks a lot man...I am really going to miss this car but one of my parents may be diagnosed with cancer and prior to knowing this they were going to help out with wedding costs....well, I can't in good conscience take money from them knowing what could possibly be. That being said, the Cutlass you see behind it in the one pic is my next PT project!

:thumbsup:

Oh well that is totally understandable. Well good luck with the Cutlass, Im sure it will be sick when its done!

Sucks you had to sell that car Dave.
I'm looking forward to the '69 Olds build!!:thumbsup:

Hi nice rotisserie any plans you can share?

I am pretty stoked on this one honestly! I spoke at length with Mark from SC&C and we have a absolutely filthy suspension set-up ready to go.

For a while I will be rockin' her in all her ugliness but it is going to ride like it is on rails.

I will be starting a build thread tomorrow. Stay tuned! Been doing motor work for a while now. :thumbsup:

Dave

Very cool Dave. Will be on the lookout.
I like the sounds of that "filthy" suspension set-up!!:unibrow: :thumbsup:

Are We going to let this thread get lost ? No more cars ???? No PICS ??

mine will be all home built. used to send out for paint but doing it my self this time. this is just color coat i sprayed on about beginning of may, was gonna do clear the next day but tore Achilles tendon so layed up till august. i'lll scuff it up shoot a couple more basecoats then clear.

here's a few more pics of mine.

Garage modified cars count?

My car was built in KY, and been Modified heavily in NC....

Only thing I wont touch is the tune. :cheers:

Jack of all trades Master of None! I do my own start to finish. The most time consuming is the paint/body and takes me a long time. This car took me 4yrs.

At a show of 250+ cars I won Best Muscle Car thru 1973. That was a great honor doing the entire car in home garage.

WOW, your Stang looks sweeter than it could have on the showroom floor when new. Awesome job. :hail: :hail: :thumbsup:

MAN IT'S sweEE-et !!! Damn nice !! People like You ,, I give Homeage !!

Fairly new member here, been doing a bunch of reading and learning from you guys ... quietly.

I'm building an 86 Cutlass and only seen 2 other g-bodies in this whole thread. Thought I'd add mine.

It started out as *homebuilt*.

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0033.jpg

I did manage to get some work started on it. Pulled the front end and then the motor and tranny ...

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0124.jpg

After sitting in the back yard for 3 years (collecting parts and saving money) and finally getting started on it, the good city I live in said that was a no-no and offered to tow it away for me ...

So, I had it moved to a buddies house. At this point it was no longer *home-built*, at least not my home...

I got a bit more work accomplished on it here:

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0244.jpghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0266.jpghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0267.jpg

About a month ago he had to move and I had to find a new parking space...again. A trusted friend I work with offered to trailer it to his house until I can find another place to store it. I found a place and now just need to get it there.

Maybe someday I'll be able to catch up to it long enough to get my 383 and T56 in it and running. When it can move under it's own power again, it'll be parked back under MY shadetree.

I only WISH I had a garage ...

A few random pics of my build so far ...

http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0161.jpghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0134.jpghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0136.jpghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0228.jpghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...h_CIMG0283.jpg

I know it's a crappy pic but here's the previous version I built. It died a dignified death of cancer and all the good parts are being transfered to my 86. It was built in a garage, my hephews. He filled it up and I no longer have access to it.
