Well finally picked the old project , usual stuff especially when its a cheapie lots dents , a pretty heavy smash repair and a ton of bog, but its worth saving.
I hope that it will work out , doing most of the work myself except paint.
My idea is a stroked 289 dressed up as a hi po GT strips not sure on color yet, low , 17's or 18's just really clean and neat and a 5 speed plus I love the dark red interior.

some more pics had a bit of a change scenery rebuilt the drivers side hinges and repaired the cowl on the same side not finished yet needs alittle more work . why would they have cut out the corners anyway there was no rust ?
Plus cleaned and fitted the original gauges into the repo cluster housing while watching the footy saturday night.

test fit of hinges

Looks like ur keeping busy.
Cars coming along nicely.
Its amazing how good the intrument panel comes up with a new facia.
Did the same for mine a couple of weeks back.

67fasty.sm · « **Reply #9 on:** June 16, 2011, 08:01:36 pm »

just a few more pics of lastest progress not thats its alot , but I am luv'n removing the bondo NOT.

qtr panel close being finished.

early door alignment now to make sure all lines up with qtr panel and rebuilt hinges

check out the thickness of the bondo !

why mig and panel beat your guard when you can just use the holes to make it stick.

but once you get all stripped the damm fender is pretty straight with only some panel work needed on the bottoms.

Thanks for the good words , Roger and Dale ! I hope to by Christmas to have all the panel beating done all the parts hung so that every thing is opening and closing nice then I will flip it over and get the underneath just right and do all the suspension work . I must get the paperwork filled out and become a member too , lookin forward to hooking up and gas bagging cars.

You took on quite a project, and it looks like you are up to the task.

Excellent work so far from the photos. You lucked out gaining the help of a professional Panel Beater too. You will be amazed at how quickly the pros can make a body look like new again.

Will be watching with interest.

Not alot has been happening as I have been extending the shed , but have done alittle in between.

the drivers door came up pretty good abit of stuffing around though .

decided to remove the dash as it was knocked about and spent a couple of nights fixing up came out good just a temp fit back in as we have made the call to put in a new right hand side plus an upper cowl meaning qtr panel, full rocker panel, lower cowl kick panel.

also started cleaning up the engine bay welding excess holes and smoothing out , I want it to look super clean but retain it original feel.

And just an overall shot of my progess from the front now I have some more shed to work in YeeHa!

IGALOP · « **Reply #16 on:** September 12, 2011, 09:56:24 pm »

Great work. That door came up a treat, nice crisp lines on it!:thumb:
Loving the report and pics, keep em coming!

Macka · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2011, 10:17:58 pm »

It is taking shape and has no doubt lost some weight as well.. keep up the good work.

Goldy · « **Reply #18 on:** September 13, 2011, 08:49:59 am »

Hi Shane, you might consider welding the towers now while youve got the car down this far , common problem on big block cars are tower cracks,

welding on my car is dodgey i know, just thought if your going to throw some decent horsepower at it and you like going round corners quick it couldnt hurt ?

Cage · « **Reply #19 on:** September 13, 2011, 08:00:21 pm »

Nice work Shane. Getting there mate

FPVF6 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 13, 2011, 08:01:06 pm »

Looking good mate . Looking forward to watching this

67fasty.sm · « **Reply #21 on:** September 13, 2011, 08:37:09 pm »

Thanks guys , the good words always give you a boost , hey cage two things hows your fasty travelling and secondly when you have finished with that chick you have there well you know look after your mates Ha !
Yeah Goldy thats not a bad call , when my panel beater comes over next time for a few ales will see what he thinks.
I must admit though the towers are in really good condition, but what we could do maybe is to make something that is welded inside the tower so its all hidden.
Cheers Shane

Hey Shane, if I had the drop on that girl mate I wouldn't be sharing her with anyone.

Still in a holding pattern with my fastback. Waiting on alot of parts now, suspensiion, brakes, sterring and some interiror pieces. Once they turn up though it will be on for young and old. Can't put a date on it but I am getting anxious. Keep putting the pics up mate they are great to look at and very imformative.

67fasty.sm · « **Reply #23 on:** September 29, 2011, 08:22:18 pm »

Have done abit more setting up the new tail light panel and lower crossmember all just temp at the moment waiting on the rh qtr panel and rocker panel .

67fasty.sm · « **Reply #24 on:** January 29, 2012, 07:53:10 pm »

Hi guys have not done a huge amount since my last post , busy with work and a few other little projects
would have got more finished but as we know had a fight with the grinder and it won , plus still waiting on complete rh sill which has put me back about 4 weeks now are well we will get there.
Have final fitted the rear brace , rough fitment of the trunk and tail light panel ( very close to final position ) final fitting of rear drop panel , finished driver side up to front fender, and temp fit of inner guard.

sorry about quality of some pics kept getting like a fluro flicker in them.

had my bonnet hinges plated in a blue zinc finish came up a treat look brand new way cheaper than chrome

also decided to replace the floor on passenger side there were a few ripples in the orignal rear seat panel from the T bone stack which was hidden by bondo plus pulled the chassis back while all the floors were out.

and completed driver side

the goal now is to have the car built to working stage by this xmas then we will break it down and paint and detail fingers X'd
