Pictures of progress on my 70 Stage

[Harvey]

Well after one year (Rick H. delivered the car Feb. 3/2005) I have taken the body off the frame, stripped, sand blasted, painted and reassembled the frame with all new poly bushings, new ball joints. I also completely stripped the body, stripped off 3 or 4 layers of old paint, stripped and painted the entire underside. Yesterday I mounted the body back on the frame and it's now ready to head to the body shop to have a bit of metal work done. Here are a few pictures

I forgot that I also replaced the trunk floor.

OK, one more of the frame without the body on it.

Looks cool Harvey What color combo will it be??
Rick,been doing anything to your 67 lately???

Depends which one your talking about Pat. The tubbed 67 is still rotting away in the back corner of my shop..... behind the BBC Monza project..... which is rotting away right in front of it.

My 67 ragtop however.... I've been working a ton on that one. I'm going to have it on the road this summer if it's the last thing I do!
Right now it's about exactly in the same condition as Harveys car. We just hung new quarter panels on it yesterday.
Front suspension is all new, it has a new posi in it, 455/TH400 are done and ready to drop in, all new interior is still in boxes... Hopefully it'll be painted within the next month or so and I can start assembly.
The last piece of the puzzle that I don't have is a back seat. I have new covers for it when I find one.. I just can't find one.

Did you ever sell all your guitar stuff? I had to make myself not jump on that sweet tube amp of yours!

Sorry to ramble on in your thread Harvey!

Looking Good Harvey! Now if the engine was ready, I bet you would of had that stuffed in there before you put the body on the frame.

Your catching up to me. I had better get a move on.

It is Burnished Saddle, Dark Gold vinyl roof and Burnished Saddle bench seat interior (4 speed) Like my avatar but with a different colored roof.

Hi Rick
Good to hear from you again. Are you still hanging around at Bill's club med or are you on the road again? You wouldn't be heading toMike's this trip, would you?

Hi Harvey,
I have a 65 Riv and a Skylark on my trailer heading for Florida. Right now its 6 degrees heading thru Minnesota. But my mind is at Club Med.

Should be in the Topeka area in a week or two.

Looking good, that's going to be a brand new car on the road.
