I'm forwarding a warning that my shipper recently posted on FB. I would like to caution all of you about internet fraud. I am working on a fraud helping a friend. A friend back in Sweden bought a car on a internet site here in US. The car was paid for by wire transfer to a what seems to be a...

If anyone need a great book (it is actually 2 books) on bodywork, I just bought and read these, and its the best books I have read on the subject so far, very highly recommended. Available in swedish and english. Panel Beating and Body work - Collectors and racing cars.

I thought about it, but I don't understand why a kit is needed, (or conversion) when you put the shifter in manual mode, its just 2 microswitches that needs to be pressed for up and downshift, very easy to do, no extra electronics needed really... except for the paddles of course. Maybe those...

Trunk floor replacement in progress, fixing some small rust in the wheelhouses, sandblasted and 2k epoxy'd the inside of the framerails, they need a topcoat before I weld it shut also. AMD 2-piece floor fits nice.

Thanks! I'm learning as I go. Big job next, change the whole trunk floor and extensions.

Fixing small stuff in the engine bay. Ugly repairs from before, small rust spots and welding up holes I don't need.

Sold it in the mid 90's (because I was living in L.A at the time), got this real R/T there, and of course I was an idiot, sold this one for $6000. And bought a 1958 Chevy Impala object (I pleed temporary insanity!).

Yes, have tons of pictures of that, I had that car for 15 years. A friend of mine painted it that way, cost me 200 bucks in 1980! :) It was not a real R/T, but I added all the options except the instruments.

Fixed the rust and got the right side done, now to the left side, same rust hole there...

Started with the inner fender braces. There's a Whole Lotta Grinding Going On here... Had to add some material also. I'm also painting the area under the pieces I'm welding, gonna do the same inside the big fender brace. After welding I'm gonna apply Eastwood internal frame coating to cover the...

Going slow, but I got the bottom part of my engine together. Milodon pickup and pan, used the old spashguard/gasket, it fits with a few extra holes.

Trying to figure out how to keep using my stock shifter with the NAG1 tranny. The NAG1 requires the electronic shifter that is compatible, but I don't like the look or feel of it, (plastic POS!) so I took it apart and I'm gonna somehow adapt the electronics to my stock shifter. There is an...

I got everything I need from Hotwire Auto all ready, but thats great news! If I like the 70 with the 6.1, I might go the Pro Touring route with the -73 also later. My ultimate goal is one with a blower, love blowers. Had a 6-71 on my Convertible in the mid 80's.

Thanks! Yes, it looked good, but when I started taking it apart, I noticed that it was quickly put together for sale, all the fasteners were non stock, mix of metric/inches, drywall screws in the interior, etc. And some ugly ass patches came up when I removed the undercoating. I got a good deal...

So, finally I'll start my resto thread here. It's a G code convertible that I bought in 2013. Looked and drove OK when I got it, 340/727 was just gonna do some small fixes over the winter and drive it again next summer. Well, that changed... Did a renovation of the 340, then sold it. Found a...
