The 72 Custom SS 454 progress

Recommended Posts

Progress. Progress! Progress!!!

 

Frame and Firewall are 85% done, still some more filler to be sanded. I say 5-8 more working hours and the sanding and all filler application will be done. Then it will be time for paint.

 

Big Block is Coming....October.

This is a first for me as for as doing body work and working with major amounts of smoothing myself. I learned a lot working on Kevin's Coke Machine, more good things than one have come out of me helping him. Multiple things for me. I love WIN WIN situations.

 

The goal on the firewall has been to smooth all factory imperfections of dents, dimples, high and low places, that goal is is getting there quickly. I am off from school tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get several hours in on it.

 

Frame Rails is 95% done. I really have surpised myself and am happy on how its turning out.

 

American Graffeti AC Delete Box is on the way.

 

Now for that BIG Block.....

call me at work in the afternoon and we'll talk about what day or days you can bring the fenders over and do some work.

 

How about I meet you for lunch somewhere tomorrow. Call me tonite and let me know.

Here is one of the pair of 71 SS extentions I found, I painted the black inside the chrome, just to look a little ligit when I put them on the car. I know I know 70 Taillight Bezel.

This is the first step towards the Confusion. nutz

Pretty cool Jared....I applaud your individuality. I myself like many of the small details on years other then our 71, for instance I like the trim on the back of the 72...I wish it was being made aftermarket, but I haven't been able to find it.

 

TTFN,

Jaylene

Yeah my chrome piece on the rear has a few dings and pings, I would like to replace it, but I'm also thinking about just removing it and making it look like the 71 SS blacked out style, I've always liked that look. smile
