Thanks Darryl! I honestly don’t recall. I don’t think mine was really in that good because in the 70s or 80s it seems like they redid the vinyl top on this car. Mine seemed to come right off. I did have the glass taken out, as you may recall, and recently had it glued back in place for the time being.
Here are some more…[Read more]

Does anyone know how the hood tensioner goes back in on the 67? I have the one bar and both mounts back in…. the second bar.. well it has so much “tension” on it. LOL. No pun intended. Any help is appreciated. Bakers said there is no trick to it..
Updates: Bumper brackets picked up. Many they LOOK killer! My guy did them in a matte finish,…[Read more]

Well here are the pics of the car. It was finished up on Wed of this week. I’m picking it up this evening.
The car will eventually get taken down to bare metal, have body work done and a fresh black paint job. For the time being, it clean up the look and seals it from the elements. It also helps me with my vision of getting the car…[Read more]

Ok, no trans in yet.. but its close to going in. Loaded the car up this past Saturday to take to my buddy’s body shop. He is fixing the front fender (progress pics not even 24 hours after dropping it off) and cleaning up some of the rust spots. Then it will get a black sealer after a light sand. Basically 1) want to get it in one color and 2) seal…[Read more]

A couple of updates. Pic of the passenger floor pan below. I’ll post more pics this week. I also thru a battery in so I could get an idea of where I need to cut the battery cables at.
Dakota Digital gauges I received back in Feb but haven’t opened them yet. A quick mockup today thinking thru the next steps.
Hoping to get the…[Read more]

Ok, so was getting use to Photos on my Mac since I’m testing the updated Beta version. Anyways, below are some updated pics. I know I know.. a lot hasn’t been done since last go round but I’ve been keeping busy. Pulled a motor for my buddy on his 99 Chevy, installed a B&W Turn Over Ball hitch on the Chevy 2500 tow pig, etc. etc.
Favor.. need…[Read more]

Thanks for asking man. I was really hustling on it daily for a long time.. after I dropped the motor in I became stagnant a bit. I’ve done a few things but had some other stuff in the hopper.. Getting a new car hauler soon so I’ll be able to tote the car where I need it. I’ll upload some pics of the progress. Mocking up the carb and springs etc. I…[Read more]

Other updates:
Decided to retain the 67 dash vs dropping in the 65 dash I purchased. Why you ask, will be easier and allow me to focus on other things I need to work on. I also picked up some BAD ASS Digital Dakota gauges. They are going to be awesome once installed. It is one of their VHX kits and should be really sick once…[Read more]

Once to my house, we backed the trailer up right near the front of the car…. cherry picked it out.. while lifted off the trailer I put the clips back in for the oil pan bolts (had then sand blasted) and then swung it around to drop err in. Couldn’t have went any easier.
