Looking really nice Brick. Should be all done and shiny soon, huh? The hood really turned out great, nice job with the louvers!!!!!

They are very cool, can get them done around here pretty reasonable, I only paid $150.00 for 85 leuvers.

I'm gettin' the body panels mocked up today so I can locate exactly where the top & firewall need to be mounted. Then I'll start puttin' the body together more permenenant like.

Looking good. Going to be one fine Camaro, Pro!!!

Here's the pics of the '71 with the interior painted. On these pics, hadn't been buffed out yet....

Dave
You make the dsah panels???
Nice clean look good work

This is my first rod build for more years than I want to tell. I will tell the model year is my birth year though. I'm gonna lean on you guys for advice and opinions. I want a nice driver... who doesn't! Please give me your input and advice. 302- crane fireball II cam- roller rockers - C4 auto - 9" rear- volare suspension.

Looks like a very nice Effie, Joe!!!! Congrats on puttin a Ford in a Ford, and not going with th 350/350 drivetrain like most all seem to do on these old pickups. Should be a nice one when you're done, keep us updated on the progress.

For Mr. Fisher: Yup, did all the mods, including the radio and ashtray delete (a little know rare option in '71 ) and made the panels out of .060 aluminum. Too bad I have to sell it when it's done, need to throw a bunch of $$$$ at the Ranchero and get it setting on all four......

I know about " build sell build sell" Just when you think you got a keeper it starts allover again.

Welcome Joe, sweet truck for a young feller!! Glad your here to share your build with us.

Very nice work Dave, as usual. That is going to be a great truck, did you make the console also?

Really starting to look like a camero Pro70, slap some plates on that baby and take it around the block!!Set up a vidio cam first!

Yup, got to make everything myself, getting to be so old and grouchy nobody wants to work with me. Heck, some days I don't want to work with me. Got to bribe the dog with Milkbone dog biscuits to het him to hang out with me!!!!

Hi guy's the A had a slight t-bone and the body was in a few inches. Now working in home garage I built this wooden contraption to push out the side. Thing is it worked great just moving a bottle jack up and down post pushing in various places. I purchased a door off ebay and the fender came with the car . The original door which is so clean is tweaked . Think i'll build a wooden die and reshape it . Couple quick relief cuts and bend it back. Cross my fingers.

Learning a little heat shrinking and picking on this heavy metal. Really not as hard as it look. I use a Map gas propane bottle normal valve and it controls the heat allmost on it own. It will only heat a area about a inch in diameter which is perfect.

New Heidts Super ride will be in about the 27th. The spindles are on back order. Geez i cant wait and like in previos posting i have done the vaaarrooommm allready (LOL)

Well couple pics of contraption . Sorry on pic size thought 800 was smaller

Looks like you have a great start to getting her sitting right Bluestang67. That ol' tin can be fun to work on.

Ya, that is some very well done flame work, looks great. Did you paint it yourselves?

Great looking paint job!!!! Excellent work, I really like the flame layout!!!!

I was really put back yesterday when I went out to pick up my finished car and there it sat untouched from the last time I saw it. When asked about the delay I was told that he needed new hood hinges to line everything up right before he could paint. Not having capability of outside comunication I guess, I will have to order them Now and wait another week. I was bummed but thats the way this thing goes alot of the time.
