1969 SSS Rusty Bird Coupe


Recommended Posts

Interior almost finished. Just waiting for Dave Pare to finish making the carbon steering column cover (this bird did not come with one). Also would like to install a center console, but that may be later.

The re-chromed headlight bezels and bumpers make things look great, Vic polished the grill and emblem.

Looks sick! But I think it needs wheels with some dish.

I agree, someday.

Wagon Jon came by and added a few custom touches to Rusty. We got a heater for Christmas (plugs in to the lighter but we don't have a lighter). With out running a huge fuse and power source this little heater melts stuff. So we called in the wiring Gremlin.

Got it done with a very nice install.

Mean while I installed a set of Audi truck shocks, for hood shocks. Civic truck shocks don't hold it up as well as when there new. BMW trunk shocks are short.

I love this car ... very well done sir, and kudos to your helpers as well. Karma must certainly have your back, to be blessed with a partner who shares your passion for these cars; you guys really did a nice job on this one.

 

Now I wonder what it would look like with some charcoal or gunmetal wheels, instead of the lighter silver ones ... ;)

James - what are your plans for this thing? Do you plan to finish it and keep it or finish it and sell it or finish it for a customer because it is for sale? unsure.gif

 

 

Lots of questions - huhhh ? . . .

 

 

P.S. - I LOVE the work you and Victory do! Some day I want to buy a car from you two! smile.gif

 

 

 

 

 

James, I said this to you 18 months ago and now I'm finally buying a car from you! Sooo Excited! :hyper:
