Holy crap! After seeing all that rust-through, I never would've thought it'd be salvageable. Nice work! I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

It's coming along slowly but surely. We get to work on this car about 2 days a week for a few hours. I'll post more pictures as it progresses.

The car is being done in our personal garage in Michigan. We just moved everything back here from Arizona so we don't have the shop open yet.

I'll try and take some pictures today. We've got the doors and trunk lined up and put on and most of the body filling is done.

Great start.....that really brings back memories. I've worked on dozens of these cars in the past, both race and street. You can never go wrong on a '69 as long as you don't "restomod" it too much.

Good luck with the build! Let me know if you need to order any parts for it. We are a distributor for many brands.

Wow, that thing was seriously rusted. Nice job on the panel and floorboard replacement.
