Brian, looks really good! keep at it and one day you will be driving it.

 

Nice work Brian what brand bell housing are you using :thumbsup:

 

thanks guys its a Mcleod bellhousing.

 

Looks like your project is coming along nicely! The rolling chassis looks great. What stainless exhaust is that? It looks awesome.

 

3 inch Magnaflow, and it sounds awesome!!!! Thanks.

 

Looks good keep at her!! Im thinking of going with same exhaust. What muffs are those, what did it set you back?

Do they turn down behind wheels or straight out the back?

they are Magnaflow also, kit 15897, 535 shipped to my door. all SS and there are 2 exit options, out the back and behind the tire. i got them from someone on this site but cant remember how right now.......it will come to me and i will let you know.

 

That chassis and drivetrain look great! I'm seriously considering grabbing my 67 Malibu out of hibernation anyday and get started on it. It's been sitting for 12 years and I think it's about time.

 

Got the exhaust from JDP Motorsports.

 

How long ago did you get the kit #15897 I looked on there web site and could only find the 2.5" kit and not the 3".....

 

Rusty Rat,to get your engine started what did you use for a fuel system?

 

A 2 gal gas can with a 3/8 rubber hose to the fuel pump.

 

Here is the past 2 weekend progress. We cut the rest of the quarters off and then the roof, blasted and primed. then finished welding up the inner and outer fender wells, blasted the welds and scuffed and primed them. This weekend we are going to work on tack welding the wheel wells in and getting the roof to fit.

 

Looks like you are making some great progress. :thumbsup: Keep at it. I am doing a 67 myself right now and love to see someone elses progress. It gives me motivation to get back out there and keep at it.
Keep us posted.

 

At least someone is getting something done. Nice work! I keep talking about getting my 67 out of the shed, but its just been talk so far.

 

Brian in the first two pictures you posted where did you get the body cart the chevelle is sitting on and you are doing a fine job can't wait to get started on my 67.KEEP THE PICTURES COMING:yes:

 

It's an auto twirler, but i cant remember where i got it.

 

Looks great man!! Awesome pictures!!!

 

here is what we have got done the since the last update. Both the inner fenders are welded in, next week we will be working on the welding in the quarters:hurray:

 

What paint did you use on the front inner wheel wells? Car is looking very nice! I to, am slowing doing my '67

 

So far all primer. DP90. Thanks I've been working on the body for about 3 years now.

 

looks brand new.

 

Rusty, great progress! You went a lot deeper than I had to with mine (my body was straight and mostly rust free as a garaged, California car). I'm almost done with mine, except some weatherstrip, alignment, and charged AC. Some pics posted in my profile. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out.

 

Brian - super looking '67...the 1/4 panel install and level of hidden PPG, is awesome.

Did you have NOS/GM rear quarter panels or aftermarket (if so / brand & how well was the fit) ??
Thanks.

 

thanks. they are GoodMark and they were the only option when i bought them. I never heard of AMD 4 years ago when i bought everything. but the actually dont fit to bad so far. i"m not saying that AMD is any better but i sought door skins and a roof skin and the AMD are .005 thicker. the roof skin still needs help it doesnt fit the best thats for sure.

 

Looks good Rusty...:thumbsup: I am getting there...

 

Well its been a couple of weeks since i updated my progess. took a weekend off for a mountain trip but we were back at it again this weekend. After the inner fenders were welded in we welded and seam sealed the fender supports on. Then the part under the deck ffiller panel was rusted so we blasted, primed and smoothed it out with fiberglass. The trunk extenstions have to go on before the quarters go on so that is what we did this weekend. i had Goodmark and they didnt fit so go AMD and they were much better. But it still took about 16 hours to get them fitted in good. Now they are in welded, blasted and primed. We will seam seal them next weekend and start the fitting of the quarters, deck filler, trunk, and tail panel.

 

here are some pictures.

 

Brian,

What paint did you use for the satin black on frame/suspension parts?

 

its a black that we use at my work. i work in a production paint shop and we do some military stuff. it is a perfect 30 degree gloss. I checked it with our gloss meter.

 

what did you do to make the trunk drop offs fit to the wheen house? I am doing a lot of the same and cant seam to figure it out.

 

scraped the golden legion ones and got AMD, they fit much better. still had to a little work but not to bad.

 

Looking good Brian. Can't wait to see the finished product.
