Over the last month or so I been turning some wrenches and pullin apart my 65. I am going resto rod with it since I did not have the original engine. So here is what I have done so far.
1) Pulled the engine, radiator & tranny
2) First wash of engine compartment & under carriage
3) Pulled A/C from engine compartment
4) Dropped spindals & control arms
This is the plan for my baby.
1) Fix the oatmeal bondo job on the front fenders from when the nose clip was installed.
2) Install 67 BB hood.
3) Replace all A/C & heater components.
4) Install complete front end rebuild kit.
5) Rebuild rear suspension with new springs etc.
6) Install all new brakes from power booster to pads.
put the rebuilt power-slide behind the brand new 383 STROKER!
7) Strip & repaint white (she was factory white). I am leaning towards one of the newer white metalic paints.
8) Recover seats and replace the carpet. The rest of the interrior looks fairly good.
Oh yea! A new set of TT 2s. Not sure if I will go with 15s or 17s. Gimme some thought on the project guys.
Below are a few pics to show the project. They are to large to upload here so you will need to click on them.
Thanks,
Al
