Project Livewire

Hi guys, I am building a 67 Camaro for a great guy, Kevin Mahler, he is a lineman for the power company here in California. He works in adverse conditions and makes sure the lights stay on. He wants this car to be a tribute to his trade, hence the name "Livewire". After a teardown and metalwork, the car has been transported to Luke Mau at L&H Kustoms for bodywork and a "mile deep" paint job. Luke will be posting pics, so stay tuned. Have a few specs.

The car is fairly rust free as it had spent its entire life in the San Jose area.

Very nice.:thumbsup:

Nice progress! Looks like a cool project

Keep em comin Luke! :yes:

Rich -- bummer i just missed this one. Guess I'll see it when it comes back. Lookin like another nice one! :thumbsup:

Got the doors stripped down and had them along with the front fenders media blasted today before the freezing rain comes. The doors are in really nice shape and just one little surprise. who ever did the car previously they ground through the front of the door skin and then just "mudded" over it. nothing a little welding cant fix.
then got the lower trim holes filled along with the door lock holes as it will have power locks.
Ok heres some more pics :yes:

I guess I'll need to start a build thread on DaveO's 69(Project Grey matter) in the background.

And here's a pic of the kustom recessed plate I built for the double din touch screen deck down at Rich's shop while he was finishing up a few other things on the car before I brought it back up. Just need to finish welding it in.
