pic of my 84

just wanted to throw a pic of my first project car for yall to look at. All I can say is it's paid for...Whoever had it last wasn't much for body work. The quarter was caved in and they slathered it with Bondo and some primer. I've since chipped the bondo off with a chisel and pulled some of the huge dent out and recovered it with a much thinner coat of filler. I think the cars gonna turn out nice when it's all said and done. You guys think it has potential?

Hey at least you are using a slidehammer to pull the dents not bondo!

Re: pic of my 84

it used to be a v6 and it was about to throw a rod out the side of the block so I yanked it out and built up a 305 with 350 heads, equipped a holley 650 4bbl carb, 270 cam, and headers and put it all in front of a turbo 400 during the winter months. I've got the interior gutted right now and welding in some sheet metal where the rust ate out the floor pans. Have some tan seats out of a 98 firebird but I'm in the process of recovering them with black velvet to match the plastic that I painted black and have installed the drivers seat on a power track from of a 83 Ford LTD. Got a deal on a headliner and overhead console, just installed last week. Now I'm hitting the junkyards for a drivers side fender, seems they've caked bondo over a large rust hole and also ran over something low to make it not worth my time repairing. All in all I'm very excited, just wish the money would come in faster so I could get more stuff done.
