Buckeye79's project pics
Figure I have been holding out on you guys long enough, so here it is:
Can't find the pics from the day I brought it home but I will post them up as soon as I do. 1979 350/350 Paint: 69 dark brown, interior 62r tan. Plan on keeping exterior original color, not sure what I am doing with interior yet. Floors were pretty much like any other 2nd gen when I got it (swiss cheese), frame rails were nice with exception of drivers side was a little soft right behind the rear leaf mount. Exterior body didn't seem to bad until I started stripping it down and found about 1" thick bondo in passenger side, and a crappy quarter skin replacement job on drivers side.
Disassembly well on its way
On the rotisserie
Floor patches
Finished sandblasting bottom of car
Replaced passenger side rocker
Patched drivers side rocker
POR15 on bottom

Passenger quarter removed and POR15 applied
Drivers side
Drivers side quarter welded on
I have the passenger side quarter fastened in place with screws. Will be welded up on Sunday.
Just messing around trying to keep the motivation:

Thought I'd show you something else I have been working on at work:
1955 Mercedes 220A. It belongs to the owner of my shop, I get to take time out from my job everyday to work on it. |

I haven't posted in some time, the project has been old hold for a bit Cause I have been busy with the kids. I finally got to get back to it this week, got the tail panel welded on, patched a rust hole in the trunk, and got it back on the rotisserie to finish the rest of the bottom. Hoping to make a lot of progress in the next couple of weeks. Will post pictures soon.

Very understandable. If your like me with them being out of school and home all day it really impacts what you are able to accomplish in the garage. What you have done so far looks great. |
