1969 CHEVELLE CONVERTIBLE

Another report from the day job, gang!

While I wait for parts and other things for the '63 Chevy station wagon, I started rebuilding the rear end of this '69 Chevelle drop top. You can see in the pics that its getting a new trunk floor, inner & outer wheel tubs, and quarter panel skins. I had to splice the wheel tubs together, due to the fact that coupes & rag tops are different in that regard. The convert tub is flatter on top while the coupe is not. Keep checking back as I do try my best to update the blog often.

Another soul saved from the crusher!

I picked up a 1950 Merc 2 door sedan! I ponied up for this one, its all there, garnish trim seats etc. just missing the flat head & trans. Usually I'd turn around and sell something like this but I just may keep her! Crazy how stuff is still hiding out there in the tall weeds of forgotten America.

63 Chevy Station Wagon

Here is an update on that 63 Chevy station wagon i have been building at the day job. I got the new floor pans all welding and fit nice. Installed a set of lower quarter panel patches and had to hand fab the patches for the spare tire tub area (no re-pops are available) there was some bad rot int the cross support just in front of the tail gate jamb that had to be taken care of so I cut the rear seat pan out to get at it and fabed up some scrap steel to repair it all. as soon as we get the new seat pan patches into the shop I'll finish that all off to. a next side project are those fender skirts for the wagon. I did some reshaping work on the fender then cut & chopped up the skirts to get them to fit onto the car, looks pretty cool! stay tuned for more updates on all the crazy stuff I do.

Chop Top

My wife and I are deep in the middle of editing our new DVD "build fiberglass bodies at home" but I wanted to give you a sneak peek at what I'll be filming next in the garage. This here is a real nice 1930 Ford coupe, My friend Jerry bought it at a garage sale in Kansas, Yup I'm not kidding he got it at a freaking garage sale. He's going to build a hot rod out of it and wants me to fill the roof and chop the top a few inches. So, after the fiberglass bodies DVD is done and for sale on me web site store (some time around the end of March) be on the look out for "how to chop a Model a Ford at home"

Keep those mig welders buzzing and the night lights burning guys
