By the way...love that choice for your hose reel in that second last picture. :3gears:

To put the original paint into perspective after being polished...here's a picture showing the car after Steve got it (prior to polish work)

Super nice. Can you track back owner history with it being an Alberta car?

Very nice Steve !! Such a great car.

Thanks everyone it has been a fun project so far. Can’t wait to drive it.

Congrats on a great car in a great color combo... I love Parchment interiors.

I’m not sure if there is a way to do that in Alberta. In Ontario it’s no problem with a buyers package. Do you know if a way? Cheers

Wow she looks great,congrats!

Pete got the drivers side polished today. 👍🏻

B E A U T I F U L. :burnout:

No such buyers package available in Alberta :-(

Looking Good Steve!

All polished up and now ready to match the paint to blow in the stone chips behind the rear wheels and paint the rear valance.

Pete tuned up all the hood and door gaps today👍🏻

I couldn’t stand having a 69 “Chevelle” emblem on the trunk lid so Pete filled the old holes and blew in the red. He also welded up the power antenna hole and blew the top ridge of the quarter in. The paint on the trunk lid other than where the emblem goes is the old paint. I can’t believe how well the paint matches.

Incredible results,what's he using to blow those areas in with?..PPG Deltron?

I’ll find out for you. It’s just a cheaper line of acrylic enamel I think. He actually mixed the last coat with a flattening agent so he could polish it up to the same shine as the rest of the car. He was afraid if he painted it without it the flattener it might be different looking.

Love the faded out stripes, killer!

Got the rear valance painted and installed this afternoon. Looks much nicer than the black one.

Looks great Steve. I tried righting the photo but it will not post correctly.

Original wheel well trim back on.

Such a great car, my favorite of all time !

Wicked car ...wow...love these updates!

Great car and love the way it sits. Pic should be posted in the stance thread.

Post away! I have no idea where that is lol.

I wonder if this is the thread he means.

Yes it is. Thanks Mallard!

3 coats of ceramic wax and now it’s ready to come home. I’ve still got to replace the hacked out floor hump with a perfect southern one I cut out, rebuild the callipers, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder, remove the headers and install the proper dated manifolds, smog, and complete NOS exhaust system. Hopefully drive it in a month or so.

Looks great Steve!

I hope to drive it a month too-hopefully this snow we got today will be gone-lol!Looks good Steve-that Pete is a wizard!
Keep on Cruising!

Leave the Headers!

The headers leak really bad

The only part of the interior that needed to be repaired was the drivers seat. I sent it to my buddy Will and he repaired the original covers with original material I had from other original seat covers. Looks pretty good.
