Hope to get Vance's car off to the alignment shop and exhaust shop next week so we can start wet sanding an buffing the paint out on this one. That's a LOT sanding for a guy who hates sanding anything.


You never have time to do it right the first time but you always have time to do it again.

Nice! It's came a long way.

Looking good. I worked with a guy who still has his 69 fastback that he bought new. It's the lime gold with the side stripe and 390 4 speed. Before he retired before me, he'd said that the whole car had been repainted once, the front fenders replaced and the engine rebuilt. I don't remember how many miles he has on it, but it still looked new that last time I saw it. Next time I'm up his way, I'll have to stop by to see if he still has it.

Trick of hand Tom.
The black car is a parts car or a 20 foot car.
The previous owner spent way to much time hiding the problems instead of fixing them.


58 Yeoman, these are pretty cars and not a lot of them out there. We purchase our first 68 Fastback in the late 90's and I told Vickie it needed to much work for me to fix it....Wish I had fixed it. 390 GT with white interior and power brakes and steering.

Well I only have a few things to do to the parts car yet and I plan on moving the other car back into the shop stall here in another week or two.

Buddy of ours was setting off car alarms with his small block 66 Chevy II and glass packs.

Not half bad for a parts car.

Thanks Frank.
I have been able to get it from a 50' car to a 15' car with some elbow grease.

Cowl vent is complete and the floors are in primer.
Time to hand the car off to someone with more equipment them me to pull the left rear rail back into place.

I'm using Chrome and I can see all the pix. IIRC, I downloaded fixes for both Chrome and FF.
