How about some northern rust.
Sorry, not really a project though. Just parts.

So many of the magazine feature cars have article that detail the extensive parts replacement that some of our classics go through. I wonder if it is often a case of snowballing costs. The owner knows that it is getting out of control, but figures..." Well, I ALREADY have $xxx into it, I'd might as well finish it."

The WORST car I did was a 74 Duster. I replaced a quarter panel, drivers fender, the hood and patched over a crappy aftermarket sunroof. When I hear about double quarter panel replacement, floorpans AND frame rails, I realize that I am a lightweight compared to you east coast guys!

Here's a 70 Charger that was saved from the crusher about two years ago. I've been looking at it trying to build up the ambition to get started . It's a 383/console auto car. It was in the boneyard for about 25 years. Plans are lime green, black vinyl top and tail stripe. The 383 is fresh now and sitting in place waiting for me to redo the engine bay.


lol i cant belive you still have that car,it was there few years ago when you was gonna paint my r.r. hood

Finally going to start on this one this year. She has been off the road since 1972. My dad bought her in 1982 for my brother. Unfortunately he never even got to drive her due to alcohol problems. He passed away at 26. The car has set out side in there front yard all these years. The original block got cracked so looking to build a stroker and have some fun. Will appear mostly stock once done. I believe it is FY4 in color white interior. I like the combo myself.

Well here are some before, during and current pics of my rusted 68 GTX project, about a 2 year span...
Here's what I started with after a 28 year stay in an open pasture:
Where I found it:

This was after removing all of the damaged metal:

And this is after all of the metal was replaced and interior paint completed:

In the end I ended up changing the r/h wheel well, complete trunk pan and both extensions, r/h quarter panel, l/h lower quarter and the roof.
It currently runs and drives with the exterior bolt on panels still laying in the shop floor unpainted...I keep getting tangled up in other projects...I need therapy...
