0ne owner 1967 GTX restoration

[5.7 hemi]

Looks fantastic, but why is the trans crossmember mounted upside down?

 

[gerardhansen]

Good eye! The guy at the shop just bolted it on upside down. He never worked on older cars. We finished the engine install and started it up at around 3 this afternoon. It cranked up on the first try! That electronic ignition was put on the car back in 1978 and that is the same control unit and distributor we bought from Chrysler to replace the dual point that the four speed cars came with. I almost put it back in but the electronic is a good upgrade tor the way I will use the car.

Here are some from today. Rear brakes, new lines, rear wheel bearings and seals, front shocks.

 

[roadrunnerman]

car is looking good with the chrome trim on there.

 

[gerardhansen]

Thanks RoadRunner. I was wondering if anybody was still out there! I got the new brake lines and brakes on. The body is buffed and next week I can hang the front sheetmetal and finish the sanding and polishing. Then the dash, steering and glass go back in.

 

[roadrunnerman]

been checking your progress from time to time.

Bud, she looks great...so close you can smell the tires melting!

 

[gerardhansen]

It moved on its own power this week. First time since March. Glad to have it back on all fours!

 

[gerardhansen]

Here is the latest pictures. Got the doors, fenders and hood on. The wheel covers cleaned up pretty good. That is the original set that came on the car.

charcoal color tail panel

I really like how your tailpanel came out. :tongue8: Did you cover the letter before painting?
Prep work?
Is Rustoleum's textured metallic similiar if you know?

 

[gerardhansen]

It is but I could not find it in a charcoal only in silver that was on the first picture of the tail panel. I sprayed it and then used a x acto knive to scrape off the paint in the area of the PLYMOUTH lettering.

 

[gerardhansen]

Here is a picture from today. I sanded and buffed it and drove it outside. The other picture is from March.

 

[gerardhansen]

Going to put the headliner in and get the front end aligned next. The only thing I have left to do is finish!

 

[roadrunnerman]

it is really coming along nicely.
