ftlallday Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 So Over the past month or so, I've been sanding & strippping this fucker down to bare metal. I'm about 80% stripped at this point. here some oics Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 With the help of Draker, Phil and Scooterstuff I FINALLY have a complete body; minus the front valance. If anyone knows of a '69 valance in fair condition i'd love to grab it! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
ftlallday Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 So in sanding down the body, I came across a think patch of bondo. So after digging to the bottom of it, I found that this car was at one point smashed and the whole back passenger corner was replaced...But they replaced it with a 70-73 piece, but managed to snap it back to a 69 with some minor adjustments...

Draker Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Damn, looking good man! I just bought a stud welder if you got and dents you want to attempt to pull out. I used it on my 720 and it worked well. Just buy some studs and go to town with it. Quote Link to comment

LeviGideon Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Oh yeah, almost forgot to post oics. Steady progress. We've already started prepping parts for paint. Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Also, at this point we've decided to start cutting it up to make room for the ls1 we're dropping in. Not really. But more engine talk has been happening. I vote a built l20b. But I like ca18det's a lot too. Quote Link to comment
