Pic of the 383 that the car had in it when I
bought it. Engine compartment was black, and
wiring was a little "suspect" because according
to the owner, the car had burned from the front
bumper to the windshield due to a ruptured fuel line.
Pic of the car by the previous owner. The car looked
like this when I got it, except the paint was starting
to go bad. The rear tires rubbed unless you kept the
air shocks jacked up, and it engine was a 383 with a
4-speed trans. 8&3/4 rear with 3.55 suregrip.
Well, there's two doors, two fenders, and the hood
leaning against the wall in the body shop. The back
of the car can be seen in the extreme right. Things
are starting to look pretty bad....... You know that
old bit about "always darkest before the dawn".
There she is in all her "glory". The dash still has to come out,
and there will be a few more parts removed, but this is not
something that is pleasant to look at.... especially when you
know that YOU have to put it all back together again.
Car is ready to have the engine compartment stripped and
painted, all wiring has been removed, and all weather strips
have been removed. Believe it or not, the rubber w\s on the
car were in real good shape. Minor rust at the bottom of the
windshield. Dash cracked, and some idiot mounted a Sun tach
in the middle of it!
Primed exterior, painted factory original color
in engine comp't, under bumpers, door jambs, ect.
At this point, I was finally getting some of my
lost enthusiasm back. After working on the car
for a year (nights & weekends) I was finally starting
to see a little progress.
