For anyone curious as to why I elected to save this car, the owner is a friend that I made 4 years ago when he asked the Chevelle Club for help putting his car together. Another guy he knew helped him take it down to the bare frame and then abandoned the project. It sat like this in his tiny, 1 car garage for a couple years before the club pointed him to me.
Andrew bought this car when he was 17 and is 43 now. He has dumped a TON of money into upgrades over the years and didn't want to lose it. Other places he asked about repairing told him to find a better body/car and swap over his parts. NO ONE was willing to rebuild this for him. This is October 3rd, 2017  I borrowed the rocker mount dolly from work and pulled the car out and into his ally to get it on my trailer.   We then loaded the engine/trans and all attaching hardware as well as the suspension in my truck.  Once at my place, I off-loaded all the parts and the car in my shop. The trunk of the car was full too.    Over the next 4 weeks, I and others in the club. assembled the car and got it driving. These pics are from October31, Halloween, 2017 To say he was excited then is an understatement. To say he is ecstatic that he will get his car back a second time now is like watching a 5 year old, surrounded by presents on Christmas day. I can't be more pleased to have done this for him, again...

Coming into the home stretch. We knew we had a twist somewhere in the frame and after turning it around, we found the left frame horn was still down 3/8". After pushing that up where it belonged, the sheet metal fit much better. The new AMD hood is, surprisingly, well proportioned, but it is too high in the center at the front. It won't sit flush with the headlight extensions. Oh well, bodyman can fit that as he wants. All the other front metal is oem.
