I thought I would put in a quick update. A guy at work has an uncle who works on cars. He is a retired mechanic and does this as a hobby. So I asked if he welds, he does. I asked if he does body work, he does. So we call him, I explain the deal, that I have the quarters and runners and roof and everything. He says he can do it in about a month and a half or so. When I asked him what we were looking at as far as cost he said ' I dont really need the money, thats not why I do itand I like doing these things, so how does six ....... oh maybe six hundred fifty sound?"

I said, I'll think about it.

 

Rotf!!! How cool.

 

Man you are lucky... I wish I had a contact like that... I have put well more than $650 in labor hours into my car so far and I still have NOTHING!!!! I wouldn't have even thought about it...

 

The whole things seems slightly skecthy, you know, if someone is willing to do this job for under a grand I only have to think what kind of quality I will be getting. I know I dont want anything like a show car - this will be for me. But I just want to make sure all the common rust areas are properly covered. I am still thinking about it.

 

Yeah I guess you are right... Iam probably a little niave, but then again if he does it because he likes it then that might be all that I would need... That and see some of his other work... but yeah, I should probably be more suspicious...

The picture links aren't working, do you need help figuring that out? I'm sure we have a tutorial here somewhere.

 

Ok, here are some updated pics... (I hope)

 

YES! the pic posted... yay. Thanks 69. Here are some more. Above are the hookers headers going on the 350.
here are some of the parts I am putting in: full quarters, roof, deck lid, partial of the dash, inner fender wells, front fenders, full floor pans, trunk pan, and a ton of others...
this is the 350, bored .30 over. I have a holley 650 and an edelbrock.. havent decided on which to use yet.


this is the floor pans and inner fenders

these are the rockers (full - both sides)

the metal under the dash pad... yikes!

 

Here is the interior:


the passanger side door section where the quarter will be replaced:


rear window


These will be replaced by old school centerlines! yeah!


Double hump heads (after market over the counter from the dealership for a pontiac - so Im told):

This is the 283 in it now, you can see the edelbrock carb, intake and valve covers.... most of this stuff will be for sale later by the way!
