Wow, you have a hott girlfriend, I mean Car, ok both. Very nice paint, love the color. Mean looking car/cars!

[Wookie's 69 vert]

Wow, you have got one heck of a project. But it is a vert. One of those full pans would be sweet for your car.

Any new pics?

Nice ride. Mustang and helicopters I like it! Clean looking car.

[Latest 69 Resto Progress]

Very nice looking mustang! I like the shaker a lot, I need to find one!

[69' GRANDE "first build"]

Very nice find! I love 4-speed cars. Got any plans for it?

Here is a picture of the new taillight panel installed. Didn't take any during the process though. Also got the rear spoiler all set up!

 

 

Had to do some mods to the new dynacorn quarter panel. It didn't "kick up" so that the flanges met where it needs to be spot welded. This is where the quarter mets the trunk floor drop-off. A couple of slits cut, a little bending, some welding and a little grinding and it now matches the factory quarter.

 

 

 

Getting close to welding it on! only had it on and off about 40 times. Don't worry the door is on and was aligned, aswell as the taillight extention before I cut the old quarter off.

Welding the new trunk floor and rear tank support in.

 

 

Another shot of the trunk floor and the ugly taillight panel.

Taking her home.

 

 

And back in the garage!

 

 

After blasting found some bad spots that were not seen before but not as bad as it could have been.

[My '70 sportroof project]

Not a bad write up. Still tossing the two around. I am going to order a complete built motor, not looking at building it, but am not going to worry about it untill sheetmetal, bodywork and paint are done. 408w sounds sweet.

what was the color of the undercarriage? how detailed do you plan on going with your project?

 

Well what was not rusted through was covered in rubberized undercoating. So don't really know what color. I have been following your tread closely, it has been very helpfull, lots of great ideas and paint info. My plans are to build a fun driver, but at the same time I want to do it right and detailed. And I am going to steal your subframe connectors!

 

keep the photos coming

 

Will do. Photos have some catching up to do, to get to where I actually am in the progress.

[My '70 sportroof project]

Built this, with no room in my little garage it is nice to be able to turn the car on its side or upside down!

 

 

show the ugly

 

 

Getting ready for blasting!

[My '70 sportroof project]

Plans are to take it all the way down. Going to add spoilers, slats and shaker. 4-speed car w/ 302. looking to go 347 stroker. And keeping the orange for sure!

[My '70 sportroof project]

For my first post I will share with you my 1970 "fastback" project.

 

Start of the tear down!
