70 GS350 Engine bay & Suspension clean up

25,650

Thats considered a rust bucket down here in the South

 

Niceeeeee! Do you have pix's loaded anywhere here on the board? I'd like to see more.

 

Hey Jarrod,

The engine looks a lot better than when I saw it a week or so ago. Keep up the good work.

Huge amount of work for a driver! Amazing how a simple engine bay cleanup can turn into a full blown restification. Damn those worms!!!:af:
I'm curious as to how you handled this worm? You've been pretty creative up to this point.

 

I think I have that piece of metal that goes up to the lip from the floor very clean metal

 

Well Bill, I bought an Arizona qtr quite a few years ago, and the that particular piece is on it. So if I convince myself to cut it off, then I will have my piece. But...... I may just make it. Don't worry I will post pix's when I get to that point.

 

any updates

 

Well I got the motor and tranny back in, and I painted door edges. I also put the weather stripping and nos door bumpers in.
Hope to get the door openings, trunk underside and other little things painted by friday. Mounted the tires and rims. Interior is 90% finished except for the front buckets, so now it just needs to be installed. More to come........

 

Just another peak of the paint color.........Lots of detailing still to be done, but i'm not fast enough for my customer. I'm a one man band here and there's seems like a million things still to do. Oh Well.

 

I didnt read the whole thread.. but you're doing this for someone else?
Fantastic job man:beer

Yes sir!

 

I'm enjoying this thread, though joining in a bit late. I replaced all the drum brakes on my 68 Skylark with discs. All I can suggest from my experience is look for a reputable supplier and check that you get the right parts. For me, NOTHING fit together as the supplier had no clue.

 

Sorry for not posting earlier. The car has paint on it now, but I need to buy a new camera to post pix's. I still need to lay down the GSX stripes and reclear it. Interior is suppose to go in it today.

To have to many irons in the fire on this end, and since I'm a one man band, it seems like I'm getting pulled in so many directions.


So hopefully soon I will post new pix's.

 

any newso No:

 

Yeah there's news, It got put on the back burner due to some legal issues with his life.

But, in the mean time I did over a 70 skylark convertible for Mark Lob here on the board. heres a little peak.........

 

Jarrod,

Your killing me!!!

 

Sorry Mark.

 

:TU:

this post got my motivation level up ....back in the garage this week for me

 

After looking at that "Peek"; It becomes addicting!
"Mine is Bittersweet mist and needs a new paint job"
"Excellent paint job!"
