"The wifes car" Version 1.0

[dhondagod]

Previous owner assembled the suspension and painted it so it looks nice.

I dont think Ill be keeping it like that though. Red just dosent to it for me.

Last pic show where the hack exhaust shot WELDED the hangers to the body. That is gone and will be repaired.

The prior pics were all taken Dec of 05. These were taken this week while the car got its first REAL bath. No more dust blowing around while driving it anymore.

Here it is after drying it out a bit. MUCH nicer to work in now.

Front wheels are on, (TT2's) rears will go on after the 9" is installed. Hood is on as well... Ill update this thread as progress continues.

FWIW Version2.0 will include a 95LT1, 700R4, subframe detail, suspension/big-brake upgrades and basic paint job/detail.

Version3.0 is total strip-down, blast and full detail, paint (again) and any upgrades that arent done along the way. This wont be for a few years at the earliest. We want to enjoy the car now and I have 5 other large scale projects under way as well.

Feel free to ask any questions or just say "hi".

Can you take a close up pic of those wheels on the car. Love the project. I'm excited to see the 3.0 stage. Keep us posted.

Nice project you got there. Where are you located? I got several parts for my 68 from Steve as well, really nice guy always willing to help out. He even delivered my cowl hood to me at home... He's a stand-up guy.....

Good luck and keep us posted on updates...

Yea Id like to see V3.0 as well but unless someone has alot of extra $$$ to donate I dont see it happening for a few years.

Pic of wheels as requested. Rears are ghetto Cragers, fronts are TT2's. I have the rear set waiting untill the rear end is swapped.
