Projects They're never finished... But It's on the road finally

Well I can finally drive it after 3 years of working on it.
I got to drive it to Waterdown and back and I grinned from ear to ear all the way.

Here's a few pics of the 3 year journey!

Thanks to those who assisted in any way!

Opinions and comments welcome (but they probably won't change anything)

Amazing. I love the before and after pics.

Great job!

 

wow! friggin awesome job man!

 

Sweet dude! Nice job!

 

Man, what a beautiful job!!! Doesn't look like you started with much. Looks like it sat in the woods for a long time. Congratulations on your first ride in it.

 

I like seeing it in one setting like that, she's beautiful.

 

Wow, only 3 years that would take me a lifetime. Nice work.

 

Congrats, that is awesome! Have you thought of painting the wheels black?

 

Can't do it ... My wife would KILL me. She was on my A$$ for a long time to paint them that red!

 

WOW!

Great job on bringing one back from the brink.

What's up with the black grill and bumpers?

Rich

 

Well, Here in the Great White North rechroming original parts would have cost me more than aftermarket replacements ... I was quoted 3500.00 just to replate the grille, and a minimum of 450.00 per bumper, and 13-1500 for the windshield frame. I want to drive the car not sit and guard it,So I painted them.

 

I'm grinning for you. Congratulations!

 

WOW............That is fantastic. You have done beautiful work.

 

Wow! what an awesome job, most would have crushed it and it appears somebody did or tried to and you brought it back from the dead. Great job.

 

No job too big for you ah?
you just need a vision and the will to make it happen! Absolutley great!
Congrats. I would still be grinnin now anyway!

Anything you are looking for in particular? I documented a lot of the build from the frame up.

 

Wow! What a tremendous result to your ardous task of rehabilitating a beautiful ride! You should be proud of your work!

 

Outstanding!! Thanks for Bringing her back to life !! Great stuff!!

 

Holy cow! Unbelievable, you've got some talent and determination! Most guys, including me, would have looked at the body you started out with and figured it was beyond saving.
Great job!!! You are a true craftsman!
