Project Livewire

[CrossRamRich]

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.

Ok here are some pics from last week when I was down at Rich's shop picking up the car.


Here's Rich hard at work cleaning up the body seams before welding

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