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.

HI 67 fasty nice little project,certainly better looking than mine when it first arrived.Be patient ask questions and you will get there.Look forward to following this build.
:fantastic:
-
Yep, plenty to do but its coming along nicely. Keep the progress coming.
-
Thanks guys if I can get it half as good as your cars on here I be happy !!

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.

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.
-
just a few more pics of lastest progress not thats its alot , but I am luv'n removing the bondo NOT.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/driversrearqtrpanelbeatenandrepaired.jpg)
qtr panel close being finished.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/earlypanelfittingdoor.jpg)
early door alignment now to make sure all lines up with qtr panel and rebuilt hinges
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/bondoheaven-1.jpg)
check out the thickness of the bondo !
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/bondothroughthebadgeholes.jpg)
why mig and panel beat your guard when you can just use the holes to make it stick.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/afterbondoremoval-1.jpg)
but once you get all stripped the damm fender is pretty straight with only some panel work needed on the bottoms.

Looking good Shane, I'l keep my eye open for a drifting cloud of white dust.
Roger.

Have my sons longtime girlfriends dad come over , he one of the best pb'ers and painters in town and we have decided to go the hack on some stuff and replace with new I am going to swap labour as he's building a shed so he now has a sparkie for nothing and I have a Pb'er for nothing . He's happy with what i've done but now he wants to make it absolutely spot on so I am wrapt !!!!
-
Car looking good Shane, you are certainly a man on a mission and nice work on the barter deal with the PB.
cheers
Dale
-
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.
Rocket.

Not alot has been happening as I have been extending the shed , but have done alittle in between.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/finisheddoor.jpg)
the drivers door came up pretty good abit of stuffing around though .
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/dashremoved.jpg)
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.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/dashtempfit.jpg)
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.
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/enginebay.jpg)
And just an overall shot of my progess from the front now I have some more shed to work in YeeHa!
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/frontview2.jpg)
-
Great work. That door came up a treat, nice crisp lines on it!:thumb:
Loving the report and pics, keep em coming!
-
It is taking shape and has no doubt lost some weight as well.. keep up the good work.

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,
(http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss352/ralph063/towercracks001.jpg)
(http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss352/ralph063/enginebay001.jpg)
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 ? :thumb:
-
Nice work Shane. Getting there mate
-
Looking good mate . Looking forward to watching this
-
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. :drool:
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.

thanks guys ! slowly getting there, chops it went on the trailer to my bodyman very fortunate , he is one of the best in central victoria and as luck would have it , my son's long time girlfriend is his daughter.
And we are labour swapping , he built a new workshop at his new home and being a sparkie i done all elec work for it so he's doing all the final body finishing and paint so the only cost will be materials.
-
we are labour swapping
Sweet deal !:thumb:
Decided on a colour yet ?
Or do have 3 or 4 ?
-
ultra white with dark red metallic shelby strips to match dark red interior and we are experimenting with a new white pearl mix with the clear not sure how it all works with the stripes though.hopefully theres not to many that color combo.
i tell you what though yours came up an absolute treat !!!! you must be smokin proud .
-
Stick to it and you will get there, Looks like your doing a great job.
Good luck and cant wait to see it.

-
It's getting there. Keep up the good work. :thumb:
-
Shane,
Well done it's starting to come together nice. I noticed towards the bottom you've taken off the quarter panel and the filler panel (back of the boot) and you've got a bit of rhs and a diagonal in there are they there to keep the rest or that area straight until the new parts come?
-
Hi Anfo,
yeah before i started removing the dead panels I just tacked in some bracing so to stop everything springing out of shape looked pretty basic but did the job . Then just took my time and removed the panels drilling out the spot welds cleaned everything up an then fitted the new gear and just teck screwed into place so we could get it over to my mates place to do all the final fit and welding.
cheers shane
-
Shane,
Thanks for the info best of luck with the build.

finished underneath , yeehaa :pepper: , seemed like it was never going to finish. we decided to stoneguard underneath since its going to be a driver but it came up pretty damm good

(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/005_zpsed56d8e9.jpg)
the front end is done , since i took this pic i have fitted all the brake lines and fuel line plus reinstalled the diff so its all steam ahead with top now !!!
(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/011_zpsd1164384.jpg)
they are 68 brakes , xy/xw falcon pads and we use the retainer clip from xy/xw disc's instead of the old locating pins.
painted them with kbs extra high temp paint can up really well , the rotors are one piece falcon as well , brought brand new they were $65 each including studs and the pads $45 for both pair .
-
looks like a great project,
Only problem here is you guys taking on these projects, make it look soooo easy, to the newbie, they have no idea of the level of committment, workmanship, and plain old hard work to a resto like this.
I cant wait to see the colour on it, as it starts to take shape. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
-
thankyou, we had planned for color by feb but work for both of us on saturdays over the last month put paid to that but we really want it painted by easter .
fingers crossed ! For me the key with the project is my mate who is helping , he keeps saying how do you eat an elephant ? small bits at a time ! and keep the whole project in mind but focus on one part and complete it other wise you will be overwhelmed.
cheers shane

well gang we are getting closer now , will be shooting some colour very soon :pepper: i finally finished painting all the interior pieces and couldnt help myself with the interior access door just to give it a quick buff .the speaker holes were already there so just cleaned up abit

what process are you going about stripping your panels at the start of the project, are you getting to bare metal and then cleaning it up with something before priming? and what are you priming with exactly? it looks as though you did this in stages? cheers
-
hi unrestored , i stripped back all the old paint by hand ie flapper wheels , and disc's but i used a couple of disc's which were to harsh and left scratches in the metal which i didn't realise i had done so when it came time to prep for paint we had to do alot more work to ensure the scratches were filled before final primer sealer.
Once I cleaned the surface of all of old paint went over it with prepsol ( wax and grease remover) then sprayed on a coat of etch primer .
couple of hints put your prepsol in a pump up spray bottle(small one) like what you you use to put weed killer in hardware store have them about $20 . that way you can spray on wipe off , dont use the same rag twice , ie dont wipe back over the area just cleaned with the same rag as you will just re contaminate the area .
wear fine rubber gloves but make sure no talc powder inside them , the gloves stops you putting oil from your skin on the surface .
the etch primer, does what the name implies etches into surface giving you a foundation for all that will happen later on , if you sprayed a primer surfacer on it could and most likely would lift undoing all your hard work .
Go to your local paint shop and have a yak to them they will help , i didnt paint mine my mate did and told me off ! about the scratches :ouch:
hope this helps
cheers shane
-
well its now starting to look like a car :pepper:
the painted shell pics are a few months old now we brought the car back to my house so i could start putting it back together and detail it as i go.
considering the paint only cost me materials am pretty happy , we will wait till the car is all together before we do the final cut and polish

the pics below are more up to date, all the dash parts are repo and only required minor trimming etc to fit nice the same cant be said about the roof lining had trouble with the bows as the holes were worn out so the bows kept flipping forward in the end put a small self tapper under the bow to take up the slack in the hole worked at treat . Lining was relatively easy to install then.

(http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/67fastysm/002_zps1bc50542.jpg)
started installing the internal panels today very time consuming to get right all afternoon and then some to get the passenger side pretty good . I found that fitting the panel that sits above the trap door first then the curved one before fitting the large lower front one makes it way easier to get things to line up

Nice one Shane, looking beautiful mate.

Holy crap. Always worth saving! Take my hat off to you mate. Some serious injuries over time to that car! Some people would just throw their hands in the air and say, too hard!?....keep posting pics. The guys on this forum are very supportive of anyone doing what you are. Good on you mate, it will be worth it!
-
thanks cruzin ! really appreciate the kind words, gettin to the pointy end of the stick now :pepper:

Started blocking out the stripes and getting everything nice and smooth , started with 800 grit to remove the ridge , then re cleared and rubbed out with 2000 grit to make it nice and flat . I have only hand buffed at this stage but happy with the out come.
Also fitted the tail lights which was pretty straight forward , the same cant be said fitting the repo trim on the repo qtr extension think i measured about bloody fifty times before drilling the mounting holes hopefully have got it right.

Looks very nice. I am digging the white :thumb:

Not too much has happened since the last update had to build a sundeck ! but have managed to complete the rear end . What a nightmare fitting the trim and the bumper . The trim was terrible cause its aluminium and its repo and i was learning as i went . when go to push the trim on over the clip the back of the trim is to long and just folds back on itself . ended up having to file down where each of the clips go in so it could snap on :ouch:
And dont talk to me about bumpers gees ! i tell ya the rubber mallet got a good work out :smash: had to roll the ends in to get some where looking like it fits over it all now close enough for me .

atleast i can sit on the deck now which is on the side of the shed drink beer and feel sorry for myself when it all turns to crap through that timber door :grin:

That trim must be so frustrating, especially with fresh paint.

The car is looking great.

Nice to see a bit of bling on there.
I know exactly what u mean about the repro trim, having been there myself.
Just persevere.
U will forget all about it when ur cruising . :burnout:

Not much progress over the summer was way too hot in the shed but managed to get a few things done .
Fitted the rear window trim and managed to stuff that up :cry: and finished the drivers door fitting the glass, seals etc , boy thats fun by yourself got there but took a little while to adjust the vent window frame to side right against the upper door seal all works nice now.
Only thing left is to fit the inner and outer weather seals on the door itself.

Also had the heads rebuilt for the motor I supplied the hardware and Pete from Gem engines and reconditioning done the rest they were pretty shagged and in hindsight maybe should have brought new ones but these are like brand now as well.
Cost was $ 475 per head to machine , fit hardened seats , fit bronze bushings for the valve stems and assemble plus $ 300 i paid for the valves , comp cam springs retainers and locks.

Looking good, Shane. How much more time do you think you have in it?
-
Thanks Ash, umm not really sure more than likely some time late in the spring! would be great to have it to drive around in for next summer.
Cash is the killer just don't have enough to go round and what about yours ?
shane
-
For the first time in a long time I've got a little bit of cash but no time. Always one or the other and never both.
I brought some new replacement body parts last week so if I can spare a day next week, I'll be getting some more done.
It'd be nice to have my underside, inside, engine bay and driveline done by spring as well. That way when it warms up again and I can focus on getting some colour down on the outside.
-
Ha thats amazing i have a couple boxes parts coming tomorrow hopefully i've been selling some of my old toys on ebay to get some extra $, all the gear is for under the dash they are the final parts to finish off there so then i can fit all the seats in .
sounds like were on similar time lines .
Hope you get a fair bit done next week then its good when things move forward !
-
Good old ebay, I have no idea where I'd be without it! It pays for all of my cars. Buy this, sell that, it all evens out in the end. Well... perhaps I do a bit more buying than I should but it's all good. :grin:

Had a laugh to myself over the last few days thinking about the deck you had to build instead of working on the stang. I just had to do the same. :grin:
Two of my side kicks helped me throughout. One was very proud of her work, that's my daughter. The other, just had her nose and bum in the way the whole time.

She'd only wait until I was gone and eat them. She'd then look at me as if someone else did it. Talk about way too smart for her own good and sneaky about it. Terrific family dog though.
-
I thought I better post up the agonizingly slow progress with the beast , too many family drama's sucking too much time and money but still have managed to still move forward .
I now have working lights all round plus all the other electrics ,yes ! , front bumper , windscreen trim , and interior woohoo!
I havent wet rubbed the bonnet yet as it still has to come off when i can get the motor and auto built , in case i damage it .
There's alittle trick question in one of the pic's dont know if people will pick it up was done on purpose .

I think I got it. Your work bench is actually a rolled out piece of carpet underlay?
:grin:
-
:lmao: hehe ash , close nah not really , all right i give in i better tell you .
have a close look at my bucket seats 67 upholstery on 68 seats , it didnt work very well , its ok but not as good i had hoped it would be .
the reason i liked the locked seat back opposed to the free flopping 67 model , but didnt want to put 68 upholstery in a 67 tahdah stupid i know .
-
I think that's neat. I have a 68 and didn't pick it. I actually retro-fitted a 67 rear virw mirror because I couldn't get the original to stay stick on my windscreen. No-one has picked it yet, either.
Cheers, Ron B
