wow

That's just awesome! What was the time frame from first picture to last?

AdamInChains · May 17, 2007

Thanks! It's about a 7 month span between the first and last pic.

Very nice!

66 Restomod · May 18, 2007

Looks good! What colors are those?

65fastbackresto · May 18, 2007

THAT IS SWEET!

I personally would panic if my car was dissasembled to that degree, although...I`m gonna have to at some point.

Wasn't your car on the cover of Hot Rod a few months back, photoshopped into a different color?

You're in Torrance, I take it?

It's not so bad. Just practice telling people with a straight face -

"I had no idea it was possible to dissasemble this far, but it is. It's a LOT of parts."

I am going to be taking a car apart to that extent (new full floor pan too).

Any tips?

Also, what kind of setup were you using for wheeling it around? (Just something you welded together, or did you buy it?)

Have fun puting it back together.

Be sure to bag and tag ALL parts nuts and bolts included, even if your going to replace them. If you don't have a digital camera, get one, take LOTS of pictures of everything as you go.

The dolley was just welded together by the shop that did the media blasting for me.

Heres the rear end that we're putting it. Kept the 8" but put an 3.55 Eaton True-Trac from Currie in the center. Powder coated the housing black. All stainless brake lines. Also had the calipers polished and powder coated a metallic silver.

Heres one of the front discs. Powder coated the front calipers same as rear, and powder coated the spindles black.

Very nice! Some day I will have to do the same thing... How much did it cost to media blast and primer epoxy?

Looks absolutely GREAT! do you know what suspension setup you will be using and what wheels you will be using? can't wait to see the final finished product.

Amazing what a little paint can do!
