68 Super Bee Rescue

[Superbee Sean]

First time she’s been on her own feet and in the sun in almost 2 years!! Everything new from the rear rails to everything they connect to!!! Wow! Now that I recently retired, it shouldn’t be a long drawn out project, like it has been in the last few since started this. I’ve never done this before, but am very happy with the results so far! Thanks to all you members who have helped when I turned to this site for help!!

Nice work! I did notice that your garage door uses extension springs. I can't tell from the photos if the springs have safety cables installed. If not, I highly recommend them! I have had damage to a fender when a spring broke.

Very nice! Show us some pics of inside and underneath the car when you get a chance. (Some of us need inspiration)

I do, and it is roaches in the usual spot. I met a guy at Carlisle a few yrs back that repairs them, reached out to him and haven’t heard back. You know of anyone in the Northeast that does this work…..beyond my skill level and I would like to keep it original……

There was a 1970 RR on a lift at Carlisle…..I must have took 50 pics of that car…..it helped me more than any parts book!!

Yes they do have them on there. I built the garage just for this project…… I’ve been an Aircraft Mechanic my whole life, safety is alway paramount, thanks!

No, that my annals from being an Aircraft Mechanic / Inspector my whole life. It does slow me down at times…..I’m trying to make a “hey kids, let’s go get an ice cream and do a burnout on the way” and not a Mecum Action car!

Haha! Had to push her out and spin it around for the front end work. Used my tractor since a hill and no brakes meant she could have gotten away from me…..wife was helping (we need every advantage).!!!

Post your delivery address and I'll send you my car needing the back half done just like yours!

Fantastic work! Wish I had the self-confidence to tackle that level of work! Inspiring!
