Custom Rose Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Michael is my name been working on my 72 Custom with my dad for a yr this coming weekend. It was not running very well but could here it turn over. The interior was not installed but came with %90 to put it together. It was badged with SS emblems. Vin is A Wcode 454 car but does not have the original #s matching block. The paint code is 14/14 which I believe is a Pewter/Pewter no vinyl car. Dad and I have installed complete 4wheel disc brakes from CPP all new inner outer tierods, Stainless brake lines, Tubular upper lower control arms front, 2" drop front springs, 2" drop shocks upfront, new gas tank, rear air Shocks and springs with 1.5" spacers, 12 bolt with a Spartan locker, t400 tranny. Shooting for Carlisle and hope to see so many of these great cars Quote
Canuck Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Welcome! Looking good. I highly recommend going to the Carlisle even if your car is not ready. It is a great time. I flew out there for the meet in 2018 from Western Canada and had a great time. Quote

Custom Rose Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks guys I travel for work...Dad and I have worked diligently every Sat. Mom would usually bring us some sandwiches and a snack around 1 or 2 for us. Working on gravel and a harbor Freight garage. Getting the car into a body shop for vinyl top damage so I can get the interior put in the car. It leaks and I don't want to get the carpet and sail panels wet. Looking to do upper, lower rear control arms, rear sway bar and traction bars by June. Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I've seen them used for paint booths too, must be a little chilly working in there though but better than working outside. Quote
Leghome Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I have had two different canvas garages in the last three years and they all rotted in less than 18 months. Looking to get one of those aluminum/steel carports for a longer lasting temporary garage Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Larry I keep seeing adverts from Versa tube, they seem pretty good although I haven't looked to far into them. Quote

Looking to get one of those aluminum/steel carports for a longer lasting temporary garage This one is a year old will probably make this year too. I have a spare top from a buddies whose fell over and bent tubes but canvas is good. Unfortunately I have upgraded to Hagerty Insurance and they dont allow me to have the car stored in it anymore so now she sits under car cover haaaaa... Quote
