looks great- in a similar project- just bought a '67 roller- currently tearing it down and stripping it: 43 years of junk, rust and dirt- please continue to post pics of your project and progress as this is my first '67 and I need all the help and reference pics I can get!!
67 Progress pics
A couple months back, I decided to dismantle my 67, and attempt to restore her. This is the first time I have ever attempted anything like this, and it's a bit overwhelming at times. Anyhow, here are a few photos of what I'm doing. I'd also like to that fellow TC member Bubba2711 (Ron) for all of the help. He's much more patient than I am 
Here is my car when I first bought it. Looks good from far away

That's all I can upload I guess. Said I reached maximum of 7 files. I'll add more in a reply to this thread if I can and if anyone is interested in seeing them.
We have trunk and new tail pan in, and now are working on 2 piece floor
Not sure why photos are loading individually, rather than how they normally load, so you can just click 'next' to move to the next one

Having a nice shop like you have is 80% of the battle! You need to be able to spread out when doing extensive work like this. You have a nice space there. :thumbsup:A couple months back, I decided to dismantle my 67, and attempt to restore her.

I'm going to check out the Webshots pics.
The one thing i'm not patient about is getting those truck motor mounts cut off the frame.:yes:I'd also like to that fellow TC member Bubba2711 (Ron) for all of the help. He's much more patient than I am
The door skin (driver side) was a good fit, but I bought a complete replacement door shell for passenger side, and it seems to be like a 1/4" shorter than the original. The tail pain was a nice fit, but right now it's only held in place by new trunk and a few screws in each of the old (to be replaced) quarters
Ron, these pics are for you
Not much progress to report, but I had a few questions and also wanted to post a pic of my new body cart :hurray:
First, has anyone installed a 2 piece floor in their 67? If so, how was the seem down the center? Was there a gap or did it butt ok? Also looking for a measurement from a rocker to rocker (a-pillar?), with measurement just above shifter hump height. Hopefully the photo will explain it better

Here is the measurement I was referring to

The floor seems to butt in the rear, but I have this gap in the front, so wondering if maybe the distance between the A-pillars

We got one half of the 2 piece floor in yesterday. Still a long way to go, but it's getting there.
I also wanted to post a photo of another new toy. I bought the Shrinker Stretcher set from Eastwood (On sale and free shipping) and today I saw in the Harbor Freight flyer they have their Shrinker Stretcher stand marked down to $115 from $150, and I had a 20% off coupon, so got it for $95
Took all of about 15 minutes to shrink a piece of sheet metal for the window contour. Only problem is I made it a bit to wide. I went with 1 1/2", bent that at a 90, but needed more like 5/8" on each side, not 3/4
Anyone that has repaired their windshield channel, did you slip the new patch piece under the A-pillar? The photo below might explain better what I mean
The new floor. Still need to grind the welds and put that body mount brace back into place

Should I try to get the new metal under this lip on the a-pillar?
