I am planning to get some more work done on my ChevyIIs soon. Can't decide which one to work on.

Heres my 62 post I started to rebuild about 22 years ago.

We replaced the floors and added the bucket seat brackets from a convertible I parted out.

The cowl areas have been rebuilt most of the way.

The back of the frame at the shackles and the trunk filler panel have been rebuilt.

Here is my 64 mordoor driver. I have replaced the front inner fenders, the radiator support,the bottom of the cowl sides, toe area of the floor and rebuilt the fire wall and inner fender mount area.

It still needs work on the front of the floors and the braces under the seat.

Also need to rebuild the end of the frame at the shackles, the trunk filler panel and corners of the trunk floor.

I don't like the way the back of the leaf springs are not attached well anymore. Before I bought the car someone added plates across the front of the leaf springs. I guess they are to keep the front of the springs from coming out of their sockets if the bolts break. They must have not liked the lack of metal in the shackle area either.

Ok I could not decide which car to work on first so I did the most logical thing and worked on both.

The moredoor has some unfinished business from last spring when I decided to change the front clip and also ended up rebuilding the cowl, inner fender mounts areas and toe boards on the floor.

We have been driving it without any of the heater assembly and the cowls vents in it, I will be finishing up some of this stuff and doing metal replacement on the 62 two door.

Here the piece that feeds the air from the cowl into the heater box for the moredoor. I blasted, primed, painted and reinstalled it. I also painted around the passenger side vent area and reinstalled it. Getting ready to keep out some cool fall air.

The 62 is getting some long overdue work finished in one of the trunk corners.
