Have brought my latest project home and finally sorted thru all the parts and the parts car. I thought I would share it with you so you can analyze,criticize, and guage how I did. It might help some on what to expect. Here it is:
1969 SS L coded Kansas car with original M-21 and 3:55 posi, 12 bolt
w AC ,Tach/Guages
Body Car completely disassembled,media blasted,primered with new full floor pans and trunk. Done well. Work began to smooth hood,trunk lid,RH fender and header panel. LH fender NOS and doors are nice. Firewall worked and painted. Shell just needs wiped to straighten. Dash painted with wiring done and heater and A/C boxes installed. Will replace original bezel.
Frame Stripped,blasted and powder coated. A/Arms, rear control arms,cross member, inner fenders, core support&brackets, and upper radiator support powder coated. New springs, all suspension parts,calipers,rotors,ss fuel and brake lines, and lower distribution block. Original booster,master cylinder and proportioning valve rebuilt and correctly plated. Power steering box rebuilt and restored.
4 Speed and rear end rebuilt.
5 matching YA wheels
Steering column rebuilt and painted
Speedo and Tach/Guages Restored and recalibrated. New Clock
Original tinted glass that is nice enough to use.
Came with virtually every original part, 83 454 complete Rebuilder, and a 69 4 door parts car with complete 307,PG,10 bolt drivetrain. Not running.
$8250 160 miles from home.
Have bought 69 3965440 JC motor with 3931063 Heads and 3931067 intake. Came with correct flywheel and everything dated within (back of) 90 days of car build date.
A lot of work has been done and a lot of money spent. It is at the perfect place to build it for me. I originally wanted a Red/Red car but the work on the dash in black is so well done and the original black dash pad is so good I decided to leave it black, until I saw the Red/White car that hit the classifieds that would allow me to keep the dash black and use the nice complete black seat belts. That decision is well down the road.
Thanx to John and Brad who kept me focused to get it done and everyone else for info submitted and to come. Whether I paid too much or too little I am awfully excited about what it can be. Oh yeah, for those wondering about project costs with all that is done I figure I am $22-25K from finishing. Will sell 454 and parts car.
