got the rear end back together

the driveshaft was a crappy white color so I cleaned it up and painted it.

I put the driveshaft back in and re assembled the parking brake.

[BIG RED]

Nice job! I may end up getting a '67 coupe from one of my uncles and it will be a future project. I'll end up making a Trans-Am racecar for the street with it more than likely.

myself and krazy kid got the upper and lower grille all welded up last night
I made some cardboard templates so I could trim them to fit the openings

upper test fitted

upper and lower

(hood is not closed on this one)

once they were fit it was time to polish the face.
120 compound

400 compound

rough cut rouge

final cut(its a bit greasy/dirty so the picture makes it look dull)

tomorrow after work ill mask off the face and paint the rest of the grille black, remove the tape and clear the whole thing.

Looks good, but why didn't you paint it all black first, then polish the edges....that what I do with intake plaques and anything else that has a raised edge I want polished but a recessed area I want painted.

the polishing process is messy and might have damaged the paint.

got the roll bar in the mail yesterday. got it all test fitted today. I was pretty happy with the fit. I gotta pull it back out, paint it with bedliner coating and have my buddy mike weld it in.

movie car

mine, however unlike the movie car the cage in my car is mandrel not crush bent and I will be tying it into the rear wheel tubs making it a 4 point cage as opposed to the standard shelby 2 point.

the rear bars which still have to be notched.
