  1. Hi guys and gals! Just thought I'd post up a few pics of my almost complete 69 Wildcat convertible. It was a ton of work but being my first real shot at it, I couldn't be happier!!! 2013-10-07 12.07.58.jpg

    I have been a member here for quite some time but I don't post much. If I am in violation of any rules let me know and I will be sure not to break em again! Just really proud of my work (even though it's far from perfect)....

    Nice looking car Jim I've got the same car & I wish mine looked that good. Looks like a nice barn too.

    This is one of the very, very rare occasions I really like the fact that a classic car isn't brought back to its original condition. Beautiful :TU:

    Very nice.
     
  10. Well thanks everyone! I was on the fence for a long time about changing the color. I had seen a 67 Pontiac 2+2 at a local car show that was this dark metallic grey and it looked so good on that big car I had to do it. I went several shades lighter on the color and then met with the interior person and she absolutely hit a home run. Now I am in the process of finding all the little stuff to finish it off!!

    Very nice. I think the interior matched with the paint looks awesome.
     
  13. Well I'm going to drive the crap out of it this summer and next winter I'm going to do the drivetrain. Build a nice 430 maybe and have the trans all redone.
