jyinger Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Frame-off restoration. Six months in.Drive train is virtually complete, body is almost done (finishing the doors right now), then we refit everything (fenders, deck lid, hood, doors, etc.), tweak where necessary. And then partially disassemble. Then paint. And upholstery. And trim (chrome and stainless work are supposed to be ready in a couple of weeks).Getting close!!I'd attach photos if I could figure our how to do it.Wish me luck.

keiser31 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Wow! It takes a lot of skill to piece something like that together. Good luck with it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it for you, but I may have deleted two photos rather than one. Sorry if I did.Your work looks beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant Mike Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Wow the frame came out great. Looks like a new car. Did you have it blasted or just wire brushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyinger Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sandblasted.When we did the trunk, what appeared to be a mostly in-tact trunk area ended up looking like Swiss cheese. So we had to rebuilt the trunk area. As you see in the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotts_DG8 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Very attractive car, great colors inside and out and with lots of chrome too. It would for sure be a time machine experience driving it. Simple math says that the restoration was about two and a half years, which considering the amount of work based on the initial picture was pretty quick. Great looking car, congratulations. Scott...(Oh, and yes I'm sure we all here would be interested in seeing more of the restoration photos if you could post them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick60 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Great car! I love the color combination. It was impressive when new. Now days most cars are beige, black, silver or charcoal grey. It really stands out! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
