datzenmike Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 X wife....... get it? This car is a trophy kill and he talks but will never part with it until its sunk into the ground. (fuckin bitch ruined my life) Quote Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Its nice that all the panels are available, better than the datsuns you picked up to try and save. But if you could not repair the rusted floors and put an inner fender and core support on a datto what makes you think you can do it on a chevelle? The parts are really pricey as well. Your much better off to spend some money going in and start with a nicer car. Learn how to fix little before you take on such a huge project. Finished cars are always less expensive than building cars. Building cars takes years of experience and focus to complete. You have to be really sick and skilled to build cars. Not to burst your bubble, its a lot of work and a lot of setbacks that most people do not have the character to deal with. So with that said, Ill let you get back to dreaming. 1 Quote Link to comment

So with that said, Ill let you get back to dreaming. you should take a look a look at my build thread. WTF buy a completed car? your on the wrong forum to be talking about that, they give no satisfaction. the datsun u are talking about needed a new core support and floors i posted an ad looking for parts and instead i got a complete 510 with rusty floors and trunk that i have replaced. i just pulled the motor for a swap. 1 Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Well I finally got ahold of the owner today she said I can have it for 1000$ But idk if it's worth that in it's current shape I told her I would like to move it and take a look at the frame and the underside and try to get into the trunk to check for the typical rust areas I am going to head up there sometime this week to check it out top to bottom I'll post pics then Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I know this guy that has a 71 that you could probably get for a bit less than $1000. He might even trade for Datsun parts.. Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 you should take a look a look at my build thread. WTF buy a completed car?:huh: your on the wrong forum to be talking about that, they give no satisfaction. And you are speaking out of school. As to the car,the cowl,floors & trunk are gonna be swiss cheese. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 And don`t forget the rear window metal .....toast Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 For the most part I just want to get that car outta there I'd rather it go for parts or be restored than rust away more than it has already The last time I looked at it the rear window was not rusted at all but who knows without taking the window out. The floors were perfect but 6 months can do hell on a car Quote Link to comment
70bird Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 My dad just sold a 70 as 396 all original this summer for 33k. Those cars are worth a lot! Quote Link to comment
70bird Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 My dad just sold a 70 as 396 all original numbers matching one this summer for 33k. Those cars are worth a lot! Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 the 71 i found a when i was 18 was in about the same shape. unfortunately the metal behind the stainless trim around the windshield was gone. no wonder the window leaked! lol Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 all those problems with rust on chevelles that people have mentioned are all repairable with the right tools, skills, time and $$$ Quote Link to comment
max121 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I went out there again to go over every inch of this car Unbelievably the shell and frame has zero rot it's all solid I have no clue why. But it's amazing with the jungle growing in the car Looks like hell and has a lake in the back seat but after peeling up the carpet it's rust free Factory ac v8 I think this car was restored in it's lifetime and that's what saved it Going to pick it up sometime next week Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Nice find! A scrub and a clean. Make that thing pristine! Quote Link to comment
