Cold War Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Started this build the week of lockdown. New owners now. Change of direction.

Between old owners and new owners I have 16 k in it. Not nearly enough. Started doing it for a buddy at a buddy price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted August 4, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 4, 2021 If you come across a nice Gen I Camaro decklid and spoiler let me know. It's for his 67 RS/SS. After my dads passing we can't find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my dads passing we can't find it My buddy has the identical car. When he purchased it off an old lady years ago he painted it candy apple red but has since turned it back into the original factory color. Luckily for him he had a friend who worked at AG Simpson here in Oshawa and had numerous parts chromed for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work Yeah, it came out of Georgia. It was never a weekend driver. Old farm truck, still in use. Had to put a floor, fender apron, core support, due to rust, but it was sold. Couldn’t find decent hod, so I had to make one out of two hoods. 71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy got a aftermarket door for his 57 Apache that i’ve been helping with the body shit. It actually fit really nice needed only minor tweaking. The roof hat sun visor thing not so much. They have definitely come a long way though. Edited August 4, 2021 by 800renegaderider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could do work like that just not in my wheel house Sounds like Woodward is back on this year. I might actually just go out during the week this time instead of doing the jammed up weekend cruise. The whole car was reworked and put back together about 75% to a Pro-street level so that tells you how long the project had been going on for. lol I can find all kinds of extra OEM parts he had except for the two painted to match pieces I need. Figures! Maybe I'll go see a psychic medium and see if we can ask him where the heck he stashed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup,. I piss a lot of people off when I tell them to sell that rusty pos and find a solid project. They go squealing out of here, all mad. No more rust buckets! The aftermarket stuff has gotten so much better. It was complete garbage when it first came out. 4 minutes ago, Skidooski said: Nice old convertible.

If it is the car I am thinking of, it is sweet and would definitely be worthwhile getting it on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. Told him get that shit out of here before I run over it. Found a “usable “ donor panel out In Arizona. pretty much what you had to work with years ago. We used to get cuts shipped from southern yards, but anything popular is long gone. Calling on the phone, getting a packet of pictures shipped to you. The good old days!

Delta, Lambda etc but if they don't I hope to see you out there 44 minutes ago, irv said: IIRC, that is a mostly white Camaro with black striping?

Even with the narrowed rear end and the giant tubs on it he put tires maybe just a tad to big under it. lol Not even sure what fuel it's set up for anymore. Wish I could find some notes or receipts, something. So many question I wish I had time to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
