Going to weld the entire sucker in once everything is confirmed straight and true. I really like the G-Bar of all the stuff I have installed this was very easy and straight forward to install the only hiccup so far was a bolt hole in the rear of the bar that there isn’t a good way to drill a hole or start the threads:


due to the trunk being in the way (maybe particular to a 69, I dunno). Since in the end it is going to be all welded up, it really doesn’t matter.


Axle housing / diff and shocks going on:


Completed:


Also went with a Rick’s notched stainless tank, that is baffled and sumped.

Thanks to Frank and Prodigy for helping answer my questions and hooking me up with the right parts!

Next up in the project (when I get back in school) is putting brake lines and fuel lines in and then I can drop the motor in. Very much looking forward to that. Then I am going to rewire the entire car with a AAW kit, and replace the old vacuum RS headlights with a DSE electric kit, get new head lights and running lights as well as rear taillights. All new Stewart Warner gauges will be installed as well. Everything electrical in the car will be in tip top shape.

AWESOME build. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Kinda the same way I want to do my build as well. Sort of like a restomod.
GOOD LUCK & keep the pics coming.

Looking great, what tran's are you running? Also did you do the brakes line yourself or are they prebent?

Thanks for all the compliments. Yeah I think Resto-Mod applies.

Trans is currently a 700R4, but I have plans to build a 4L60E/4L80E and go with Twist machine paddle shifters.

Brake lines and fuel lines are pre-bent stainless from The Right Stuff Detailing

Awesome job on the engine and sub frame. How did you like the brake lines for fit? What coil overs did you use?

Brakes lines still need to go in. Coil overs are QA1 double adjustables in the front and rear.
