all this in less then a month i am jealous

 

Actually we started this near the middle of Oct.

Just came in from the shop. 12 hours, gets alot done.

Most of the car is black, new owner wanted jambs done so i figured I would paint everything off then put everything together. Tiki (the new owner) will be assembling the car.

I must say for the time spent this car looks good. Way better then when i saw it on C/L for months.

Now that this one has a home, Victory tells me she's ready for the next 510 project :huh: .

This 2 door surprise is now rd300 new 510. Tiki had to move back to the island and could not take it with him. He did take a few parts from it. We installed a set of pretty coilovers with new inserts. Shaving some new fenders, and looking for a weber carb.

Well now we are completely painting this surprise and making it turn key. This car was so neglected when I picked it up 12-16 months ago.

 

Phils put a lot of hours in making it run and installing the dash and heater. We have Atoms wrecked 4 door for donor parts.

 

We been mostly getting parts ready for paint, going through the act of sanding primering sanding primering. Even some sand blasting while we were set up for it.

Had to abandoned the shaved doors, for doors with handles and the last owner took the fenders we worked out. So we will be shaving the fenders to match the rest of the car.

 

We are working on parts for 4 different cars.
