Wow... you've got a lot of work ahead of you. Good luck.

Keep us posted. I love those cars! :thumbsup: Will you be going with the black and red interior like the model? I think that would look cool.

Yes. I have always liked the look of black cars with red interiors. I think red brake calipers behind black wheels, will set it off nicely, also.

You GOTTA love those hammered "before" shots of the car...So many people without vision would toss a car as "uhhhmm, bad" as this car is...Those people don't get it...

Cool Ride man...

wow, its about as bad as my bu was.. but at least yours is honest about the rust, no supprises there! and it wont be a shame to cut it up.. but if its that bad, why not go all out and mount it on a new frame? do it right in one go!

black b bodys are my fav,keep us posted.

I like - once it's done you can tell people that they liked it so much they built a Die Cast Version of it.

NICE!!!

I LOVE those bodies too!

I just picked up an almost new '06 Hemi out of a Durango, complete w/ trans and computer for 1000$ on Monday (yeah yeah...good friends;) ).

My wife was all up side down with why i picked "that" up.....(I'm usually into Chevrolet stuff ya know...)

Well, its for my next project Honey!!! I'm keeping my eyes opened for a '70.

My Old Man had an Orange w/ black vinyl top, air grabber w stripe on hood, 383 model in 70, bran new. ( i saw it leave when he sold it and still remember that sad day) so you know, its a thing i gotta do.

Cool project. Def. keep us posted! And we want more pics!!!

Lead.

That is going to be AWESOME!!!
Post pics of your progress please.:thumbsup:
