Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Got some nice weather this weekend and since the Biscayne is still out for paint , I decided to tackle a project that has been on the back burner for a while....I had the Engine out of the 66 Chevelle Convert rebuilt (2nd time- Long Story) and it has been sitting in the garage for 6 months waiting.......I had a CE engine in the car and wanted to put the original back in......so it seemed like a good idea to also put in a 700 R4 at the same time.....here are some pic's.....this has nothing to do with the Biscayne thread.........But.........

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Stopped at the Body Shop today..........Final Blocking over the weekend and paint next week.......I was blown away by the "Detail" work that was done since the last time I was there.......All the old rain gutter caulking and seam sealer on the body was removed and redone....Don't know if you will be able to see it in the pic's......but .....that's the little things that make the difference when the whole thing is finished.....But....I'm "Very" happy with the workmanship...
the next set of pic's will be when the car is in paint..... http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04224.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04225.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04230.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04229.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04238.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04232.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04240.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04243.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/DSC04233.jpg Ken |

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
I know your thinking......of making a last minute color change? I have always....done so....within the last week of having a car painted https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif NO!!!!! Don't even think about it!
Very calmly now Ken.............. step away from the paint chart. Repeat after me......... "I'm happy with the original color, I'm happy with the original color......" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif |
Re: Biscayne Resto Project
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif This would only apply if the original color was "Black". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
shooting it black first to see how straight it is... I believe we learned that at auto body shop in high school
(yes I rode a small bus to the body shop https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif) Is that what the story is Ken? |
Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Ordered all the parts to be replaced and Boxes are starting to show up......still waiting for the Door Panels from Just Dashes to show up so I can get the Seat Covers made, Talked to them last week and was told "Early April"....Went to the Body Shop today.......still not painted.....so I went home and started on the Engine.........I didn't want to do this until the Car was back and finish detailed underneath, but decided to do it and triple wrap in plastic until it's time to go back in the Car.....
