I can see why you achieved one of the highest marks - your work is impressive. The talent is definitely there. Keep it up.


P.S. The flares look TERRIFIC.

stinger12

The rear bumper and rear flares were definitely the most time consuming projects of this build. Things should move a lot quicker now that they are done.

Mark Riles

You have a real flare for this type of work.

Here they are, finished...finally!

Outstanding job.......have you had the chance, now standing back and looking at all your hard work, to figure out how many hours you've put into the body work to this point?

I changed the electric window motor out on my wife's 73 BB...did some, well, quite a bit of dynamat... new plenum tubes....stereo boxes...and a few other small fixes... I am proud of what I've done and did the best I could do with what I have.

But, YOU have a GIFT. Yes you work very, very hard and spend lots of time researching and have some help, but the bottom line is you have a GIFT, treasure it, baby it, recognize it, nurture it, your OBVIOUSLY on the right path. Looking forward to seeing possibly, no doubt, the worlds finest redo by a any "rookie" anywhere on the planet. Heck, Carrol Shelby would probably be intimidated......You go brother! You are such a great kid...
the Next Chip Foose... Boyd Codington......the sky is the limit. Has West Coast Customs called yet? Keep up the good work....pace yourself....be sure to stop and smell the roses!

spedaleden

I talked to Mike about the bonding seams underneath the halo. Apparently they aren't actual bonding seams - it is just one panel glued on top of another panel, and the gap is just filled with some adhesive for cosmetics. So, this area does not need to be glassed like the quarter seams and fender seams. He just said to "v" out all the old bonding adhesive, and fill it with everglass.







Another thing he pointed out was to make sure the lip was consistent across the halo. That took some work.







Good night!

Looking good Jeremy!!! I didn't think you slept?? Guessing the good night was for us mortals...

Finished the halo...









Glassed the sail corner on the other side...



A few loose ends underneath the splash shields from when I flared the quarters...



Good night...again!

I don't like this thread, It makes my project look like crap. Its good to see another young guy (and Canadian too) taking on a big project. I started mine 5 years ago when I was 19. Everything you've done looks great, I haven't gone anywhere near the extent you have. It will be a gorgeous car when its done. It took me forever to read this whole thread but I think I've learned as much hear as I have on the rest of the forum. Keep at it.

After weeks of work, I finally finished updating Alternative Restoration's website. Check it out!

Looks good. Sanding around the halo is some fun huh. I'm sanding on that section right now on the 72 I'm working on, and it KILLS my back sanding on that section. No real easy way to get comfortable.

Jeremy--

Jeremy - the updated website looks great. Nice to see the current and past projects you and the AR boys are working on. Hopefully, I can make it out to Calgary this spring/summer to meet you and the guys at the shop. Looking forward to it. Until then...take care. BK3

Jeremy,
As always, your work speaks for itself. Your project continues to amaze and impress. All of your fans here will be celebrating with you when that rascal starts building its own heat and then takes you wherever you want to go.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you are the de-facto webmaster for AR, also. Maybe that's just a bonus skillset? Lucky Byron to recognize you for that. Well done (as if there would be any other outcome there, either. LOL).

Thanks for the ride, so far. We await the next post with baited breath.

Bravo!

stinger12

Byron stopped by today to size up the vette. He's got me on a schedule now - tomorrow I prime the front jambs.

After he's going to do a final fit on the doors, and then I'm going to do the final gapping on them. Once that's done, finish the bodywork on the rear of the doors to the quarters, and the front of the doors to the fenders. Then fit the t-tops. Finish fitting the tail-lights and gas cap...and then...wait for it...slick sand the back half of the car!!!!!

Stuff is going to go fast now!
