The Chevelle was an automatic car. We have cut out the tunnel and changed it to a manual tunnel setup. We installed the motor and transmission while we were doing it to make sure the location for the shifter was right on.
We have the Chevelle all cleaned up and in epoxy primer. The next step about 4-6 weeks of body work.
Here are before and after pictures of the rear inner door jam on Peter’s Parklane.
Here a few pics of the before and after fender-door gaps. Now that we have all the gaps fixed up, we will get everything ready for two coats of epoxy primer before starting the body work.
We have the body back on the chassis and have lined up all the parts the best we can. There are a lot of aftermarket parts on this car, so we will have to weld and grind the edges to get nice gaps before the body work starts. Here is a before and after picture (...)
Gary brought us his 88 Ford Bronco to restore. His father bought it new and he wanted to restore it in his memory. It seems to be in fairly good shape. We will know better once we get it stripped down and sandblasted.
Here is a photo of some of the repairs we had to do on the right inner structure of the Parklane before we can install the new nos 1/4 panel. We were lucky to find that nos 1/4 panel. We had to make the left hand side from scratch, which is a lot more work.
We did a 66 mustang for Igor a few years back. Now he has brought us his 88 Fox Body Mustang to do. We are going to completely disassemble and do a lot of upgrades to the drive train and chassis as well as smooth out the engine compartment.
Here are more pictures of the Chevelle with the new floor and fire wall welded in. We now have all the sheet metal work done on the body of the car.
Here is the new floor and firewall before and after installation. Everything went together really nice!! Good bye rust!!!
