Don found his car |
 |
Well he got her home and most of the pieces are there. |
 |
"Bullet holes" This just shows what can happen to an old that was left sitting around the back field too long. |
| 3 | |
 |
And the door made a good target too. |
 |
That old six just has to go |
 |
The 1988 Chevy tuned port after a good cleaning and before the polishing and paint with clear coat |

 |
Some things had to be cut down to size for a good fit |
 |
A 1988 Chevy tuned port after a good cleaning and
before the polishing and paint with clear coat
This looks much better.
|
 |
This looks like fun.
This is the under dash wiring harnass. |
 |
And this one is the computer wiring harness. |
 |
The 700R4 ready to be torn down |
 |
The bottom of a 700R4 with all the oil passages, looks like it's going to be fun |
 |
The front & inside look at the 700R4 after it's clean up |
 |
This is the brain to the whole thing |
 |
Now he has to make the roll pan & the 3rd stop lite |
 |
It's still a pushing machine at this point. |
 |
Another day and another gallon of primer |
 |
Don is starting up the
cutting torch to make a little more room for the roll pan and on the front
Notice my high dollar gas bottle |
 |
Now Don can sit down once in a while. |
 |
Push it out in the driveway. |
 |
Push it back inside again for another coat of primer |
 |
Looks like he needs more bond-o and primer
on this door |
 |
There will be no more pushing,
"SHE RUNNING NOW" |
 |
Looking into the trunk area.
It's not a very large area, sure hope it will hold
|
 |
At this point the main concern is, can he remember where every thing goes?? |
 |
The left side of the factory dash before any rework |
 |
The right side of the factory dash before any rework |
 |
A new set of up to date gauge's will be put here |
 |
And when it is done it wont look like this any more |
 |
The interior is nearing completion but needs
a good cleaning |
 |
Now that's better and the clock worked great
It came out of a Pontiac from the 80s |
 |
The new factory gauge's are from a 82 Oldsmobile |
 |
The hand made roll pan & 3rd stop lite |
 |
The third stop light |
