My New 69 Protour Build

[Vega$69]

1st Thanks to Curtis and Jeff for turning me on to this project car that had just come up for sale and to Jody for his help in working it all out.

The project was started a few years ago and the owner was not able to finish. I was very fortunate to be able to purchase it.

It's a tremendous car with a lot of hard work and quality parts invested,

The best thing about it is the truly amazing body and paint work.

Here are a few pictures of the car the day I picked it up.

I'll post the build details and progress as it goes if anybody is interested

Looks like a lot of the hard work is done. Does the suspention just need to be taken out and powdercoated?

Yes. I'll fit the brakes (C6 ZO6 front and rear) Set the motor in place. Attach brackets for the brake lines etc. then pull it all off for paint or PC.

Probably paint. I built 55 Belair a few years ago with PC frame and it was a pain to touch up. My last 69 Camaro I did black base/clear and liked it better.

John, I am glad I was able to assist. Perfect timing! I was wondering if you where going to post pictures. I know you will build it right and enjoy it for years. The level of work on the car is AWESOME and the pictures DON'T DO IT JUSTICE! It's going to be a lot of fun watching and helping with this build. I'm looking forward to it!
