Valances all done. The rear was an original perfect 70 piece from the car, unscathed by the fire.

The car looks great!!!! I saw it before you bought it, or maybe before you picked it up???? I remember seeing those melted carbs!!! He was messing around with the carbs and i think he said a carb backfired caught the fibre glass hood on fire and before he could get the hood under control the ceiling in the garage caught fire. Ever since i met the guy i roll my cars out of the garage before i start them, you NEVER know!!!!


I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

Hey Jeff...hope you're doing well. Look forward to the updates as well. The purple vert is on the move again. It was on here for sale a few months ago, and was in Maine. I saved the pics on my computer at work if you would like to have them. Just shoot me a PM with your e-mail address if you do.

Looks great! But, I have to ask. Why the heck did you paint it in so many different stages? I hope you don't have any matching issues.

No problem. Nothing keeps the panels in good shape like paint. My plan has always been to work on each area of the car over the years, get it registered andsort out any operational issues, and then block the entire car down and repaint the whole thing at once. I'm on the "sort it out" phase now. The car looks good from 5 feet but it does have 8 different shades of EK2. I put on a set of extra stripes I had and I have to admit, I very much enjoyed driving it around last year. I plan to attend Carlisle this year with the car. i probably won't paint the entire car until 2011, having too much fun with it after 7 years of working on it.
