67' Restoration Part3

  • This is part three of the restoration project: 67' K-GT convertible. It coming along with body, floors, and rear quarters on.


    The (3.50 to 1 rear) was pulled apart. We added new bearings and seals and put it back together. We added new rear brakes, parking brake cables and new drums.





    The cars under side was painted with a gray primer and then painted to match the orginal red primer. Looks abit shinny but I think its OK. As I understand it, they used different colors paints at the factory.


    What do all of you on the forum think?





    This last one of the rear quarter, I would like to know how much of the primer is showing after rustproofing is applied. And how much of the body color overspray should be seen?


    Most of the body is back together and panels have been test fitted.






    From other post of the project you can see the progess.

    Thanks Qball/Qman.

  • NICE JOB! The car will definitely be nice when it is finisherd.


    It is great to see them at this stage with all the rust fixed.


    Reminds me of my '65 "after" shots - the "before" shots were scary!

  • Great job so far!! I am sure the finished product will be awesome.
