Bought this car about 5 years ago to be a daily driver, man did I make a bad decision. So many mechanical problems and minimal mechanical know how.
Then one day my uncle [WILL] introduced me to [DAN] and that was that.

I wouldn't know where to start describing the problems on this car. For the last four years I have been slowing getting things together and dan has been there.
!hands down the best mechanic i know personally; ok, i will stop swangin' now but honestly dude knows his ****!

 

this is how it sat after i bought it and replace the front end with the vista cruiser dog house.

 

Mechanically the car is A-1. you name it and it has either been rebuilt or replaced. now it's on to the body (looking for a motor different story though).

So the other week i was over at One Stop Auto Shop taking pics

this is much easier to post multiple photos quickly.

 

this week we got the body off the frame. addressed the surface rust on the floor pans, undercarriage, and frame then started spraying the sound deadner.

second skin spectrum...first coat went on thursday evening and was still moist to the touch friday afternoon(mid 90s and 60-80% humidity)

the very last pic shows second skin spectrum (darker) left of the bushing and nothing (lighter) on the right.

 

here's the first application of the spectrum sound deadner. 3 layers is the plan inside, outside, and on the frame. This is the only deadner i plan on using, but we will see.

i hope that you all at least enjoy the pics...i'm an olds fan don't know how it came to be or why, so i check in occasionally, however the more questions and comments the more often i will be around.

thanks for lookin

 

Wow. The revival of a rotten 77 4 door. You sir, are my hero today. Perhaps even more sick in the head than I am. 10 thumbs up.
More people should do things like this instead of wimping out and chopping these cars into millions of scrap pieces.

 

Nice work!
A second set up thunbs to you!!
You will have a very unique head-turning car when you get done with it!

 

Thanks!

i knew that there were a few people who could appreciate it just not anyone i know personally

i don't know how many time i've heard, "man, just sell/scrap that pos."

 

Thanks! maybe when it's finished my girl or others will want to ride with me then, lol.

 

lookin good! im working o a 76' that started off pretty rough, keep us posted!!

 

last tuesday and wednesday, which happened to be the hottest days of the year, i finished spraying the last of the 5 gallons of deadner. we let it sit for a day or two then the brake and fuel lines were ran. after that we dropped the body back on the frame.

i'm still looking for a 700r4 but not having much luck
