Awesome looking car, top job. Start clearing a shelf for trophies

And here are a few of my older cars. The blue one is a 77 and the white one is a 67. The 77 was my first car. Drove it all through highschool and one year of college. Then my dad and I gave it a re-paint in preparation for selling it for an earlier bug. Bought the 67 and then sold the 77 a couple of weeks later for the exact same price I paid for the 67.

Fixing a few small rust spots before paint (Dad did most of the work, I just helped)

Primered and wet sanding

Here I am saying goodbye the day I sold it.





When I bought the 67, my dad went out and bought the 62 Ragtop posted above. We tore it apart and then it sat for about 2 years untouched. I was driving back and forth to Atlanta everyday for school and the 67 was letting me down alot. I needed a more reliable ride, but wanted to keep a VW. My dad and I worked out a deal. He bought me a more reliable car and gave me the 62 to work on, and I gave him the 67. A couple years later he found an old Chevy panel truck and the 67 was sold.

Cool pics! Too bad about the 67 looked clean.

Would like to see some pics of the old chevy panel - my dad had one when I was a kid, I always loved that thing and wished he had kept it for me.

Bryce, the 67 was in awesome shape. My dad tells me all the time he wished he never sold it. I actually passed it in town about 3 months ago. Pulled a u-turn and caught up with the guy in the McDonalds drive-thru. Talked to him for about 30 minutes. He had bought it from the guys daughter we sold it to (the guy we sold it to had died and the daughter didn't want it). It still had the small dent in the drivers rear fender from where I backed in to a friends car once. He gave me his card and I gave him my number and told him to call if he ever sells it. I told him I would give him a call when I got my 62 running and we could cruise around town. Guess I need to dig his number out.

A few new pics now that the front and rear are lowered.

Here it is with just the front lowered. I don't have a real good picture showing the gap between the rear fender and wheel, but if you've seen it in person, you know you could just about fit your head in there.

This picture kinda shows the gap better


Well I finally dropped the rear. Just one spline, so it's not slammed, but the gap is gone and the fender sits just below the top of the tire.

straight on shot

Perfect!
