    Hi all, I'm brand new to the site. I'm investigating restoring my dad's first car; a 1965 ChevyII wagon. It's been stored outside on blocks for the past 30 years and has plenty of rust. My first order of business is to determine if the bones (frame) is still intact to determine if this is a...

    Working on a 63 convertible that has been repaired in that past --- not so good of a job. I've look almost everywhere to find some pics so that I can make it look mostly original, hoping someone can help. The area that I'm interested in is where the kick panel comes down to the rocker...

    I'm looking to hopefully start on my 67 sedan in the next six months or so, and I'm trying to get some ideas on how to plan my project. The information I need to know is how much time I need to plan for each of the following components/stages? 1. Competition Engineering weld in sub-frame...
  9. Body and Interior
    Most of us will have to do this eventually, so a writeup might help. Nothing earth shaking here, but what the heck. Here are most of the items involved. My original frames are in pretty good shape, so I reused those, and the glass itself. The lower tracks are almost always rusted out. There...
