It’s time to lower the body back onto the chassis. The body was removed from the rotisserie and the square tube brace is still bolted to the body for strength. We are using the same method that we first used when we removed the body which is with a pair [...]
ROAD ROCKET RUMBLE Post #17

My Dad is currently in the process of painting his 1947 Chevy Coupe flat black. I think he needs to consider having some pinstripes laid down when he is finished. Really makes a difference in the level of “kool”.

This little number had to be one of my favorites at the show. Every detail was incredible.
I certainly enjoy the addition of pinstripes to almost any car. It really gives the car “soul”.

At this point the body is mostly apart. The front sheet metal and doors have been removed. The next step is to start trimming the replacement rear half to fit on the car. This took a lot of planning and measuring.
The car with the front fenders and hood removed.

Man, this little truck was kool.
I’ve been thinking about trying to make a headliner for the Nifty Fifty out of old coffee bean bags, so when I saw the interior, I had to snap a couple of photographs.

Don’t want to offend anyone, but couldn’t help taking a shot of a bumper sticker one car owner had for sale. The world seems a bit messed up right now doesn’t it? Oh, and what if I added “Bible-toting” to the sticker?!

I found this article about the automotive technology program at East-Syracuse Minoa High School. They just recently restored a 1969 Pontiac Firebird that will be raffled off. The winner will [...]
