Default Update on my 69 Fastback *PICS*





I am pumped. The last two points will go in after I install my subframes and do the 4 link. Next step is media blasting.

I am looking at the new block, crank, and rods tonight for the motor....


I will add a few pics later tonight!


HUGE EDIT:

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to Texas Motorsports and Bill Buck. Awesome job guys. I am SUPER pumped once again. Would definately pass them along to anyone. Also for you guys who do not know. Bill Buck did the work on the mini tubs on SW's Black SS camaro, Mike Murillos True 10.5 and Outlaw 10.5 cars. He is definately an artist and great at his job. Thanks again Mike and Bill!

Any pics of the whole car? Are you going for a Pro Touring look, or a street/strip setup? Cool project, always liked those cars.

it will be a pro touring styled car but will definately get beat on at the track. Hopefully TWS, MSR, HRP, etc.

I have a long way to go but it will get there. I am not at home so I can not put up a full pic till later.

Definately Dave. I am going to try and use as little a bondo as possible. I can get most the dents out while some others will get some help. Thanks for the words. I am lucky to have a great base car with little rust.
