beutiful finished cars are cool but i dig seeing all the projects underway also. how about some project pictures.
mine;

 

'65 project.

 

1959 Project Underway

See signature link!

 

Some assembly still required Car leaves in a couple of weeks to get the new jig fit nose clip and remaining glass work done. Then the remainder of the mock up work can be done to get the LS7 installed, plumbed, wired and fired up. Lot's of work ahead, but it's been a blast so far.

 

The doors are the last major items before I can say that I have completed the “rebuild”. (I don’t say restoration because a 350 stroker, side pipes and a body painted ‘Viper Blue’ is not a restoration).

Thanks for the pics guys, way cool stuff!!

Some shots of his 63 SWC!! The pictures don't do this paint job justice, the car looks AWESOME!

 

Talk about impressive! I've been building custom cars for over 30 years and suddenly I feel like a rookie!
My #1 son.


I'm on dial up and it isn't working worth a darn this morning. I'll try to add more later. But, in the mean time, the car was brought to me as a mako type mod'ed Vett. All four wheel wells had been flared, a rear upper spoiler had been fibeglassed on, and the old three tailight modification had been done. The car is now in its final paint process and I will add pictures as I get my dial up to work.

Continued...this is the best picture of the stripe as it was; basically a stinger stripe that turned into a wide stripe at the windshield opening, over the roof then back to one wide stripe on the rear deck. This job was to put the fenders back to OEM, remove the stripe, remove the rear deck flair along with the wheel flares, and change the three tail lights back to two.








Ahh-HA, I did find a picture of the front before I started;


April 30, continued. I promised somebody I would post pictures of how I fixed the windshiel post cracks so prevailent on these cars. You may think it a little unorthodox, but I have never had a crack return. I only hope he finds these so he doesn't think I forgot about him.







(Sorry if the pictures came out BIG...I'm still learning!

April 31, wow and to think someone did those repairs (below) on purpose!
For those I owe, for those that missed the story, this was a '67, re-done in , best that I can determine 1983. Installed was a 'mako' type flare kit with rear spoiler and the three light option. The owner didn't want to replace the entire front clip but he did want it put back to OEM as much as poossible. To get to the chase, the car is finally done with all it's bodywork, painting will start today ro tomorrow, depending on weather.


Ooops continued page 2-administrator, if need be do not hesitate to remove any pictures at any time!

Thanks Again

Wanna see some bad body work? This is so bad it's almost funny.

The car didn't look too bad when I got it. It wasn't until I started dismantling it that I found out what a piece of crap it was. My 2 year , $20.000 resto has now turned into 10 years, $80,000.

 

Recently pulled the engine, front crossmember and rear trying to get the 62 ready for the CF CI next month. Gonna be close, but I think we might make it. I'll add pics to the link as I progress.







The rear end will be done this weekend, and will be getting cadillac discs and Edelbrock shocks. the strut rods have poly bushings. If I get the brake lines done, I may drop the engine on Sunday.

Update pics will be posted here.

I'm glad you enjoyed the pics. I love showing the bad bodywork to visitors. Will make for some great 'before and after pics".

 

Yup................those are the pics that make for great intertainment!

I've seen a fare amount of these repairs....................oops, wrong word (repairs)...................I'm not really sure what I would call them?
Anyway, keep the afters coming too. I'm sure she will turn out sharp!

Hey everyone. This is Tim, Daffy2's son. This is my car and our father/son project. Corvette related because the motor was in the Corvette for a few years until he swapped it for the ZZ430. This is my 1986 Fiero SS. ZZ3 crate motor with P&P L98's matched to the intake and ported 2.5" rams horns. Exhaust is dual 2.5" stainless custom built by me with summit glasspacks (the only thing that will fit). Spec Stage 3+ mated to the stock Muncie 4spd transaxle. Lots of other stuff is done to it and this is just the beginning. Motor should have 350 - 360hp, I would love to see 300+ hp at the wheels. V8 Fieros like mine usually weight 2700 - 2900 pounds WITH driver so it should scoot alright. What do ya think?
