I'm buying a 69 roller.. I have alot of work ahead of me, but it should be a blast. I've wanted one since I was a kid. I've really enjoyed looking at all your projects and have gotten a better idea of what im getting into from seeing your pics and reading your threads. I appreciate this forum for giving me the opportunity to learn from your experience.

My car has a 396 with a 400 turbo tranny. I plan on replacing the rear quarterpanels since someone chopped these up for drag tires and going with a cowl induction hood... Also, I plan on doing the interior mostly spec but I may try my hand at building a custom dash and console. We'll see... I'm really excited to try.

 

Welcome to the forum!! Very cool project, keep us up on your progress!

 

Welcome man, if you don't mind me asking, what did you get that roller for?

 

^ Nosey. Welcome to the Forums Man. Looks like a nice Project. Always Glad to have another 1st Gen around. Be sure to start a Progress Thread in the 1st Gen Section.

 

Actually, change of plans.. I went to look at it and it had a homemade sunroof cut and screwed into the roof with sheetmetal screws.. (criminal) Also the tub was cut up pretty good.

anyway.. I bought the front end of this one and another body. I'll post some pics when I get it together and bring it home in a couple of weeks.

So far I'm into it 3000

 

plans change... it happens. I hate it when people cut a roof but I guess to them it seemed like a good idea at the time. maybe they were high at the time. look forward to seeing your pics.
