Most of the panels are toast..floors,trunk,wheelhouses,fenders,rad support,doors.. but the firewall is good!!.not sure about the frame..still has the spiral shocks on the back biggrin

!!..more than likely I will use most of a nice 69 Malibu as a donor car..swapping out the whole firewall/dash ,front grill and rear trim and 1/4 extension..some may call it a re-body, but I think its the only cost effective way to restore/rebuild this car..its not all that collectable....ie:.big$$ and Im building it for myself..I want something different...it will have a big block, Richmond 6 speed and 12 bolt drivetrain when done. OK flame suit on.

Yes, she is a little rough around the edges, but I love seeing the potential in a great project like this one! In our car world, nothing beams brighter than the 5 letter word known as pride from where you knew what the car was when you started till you turn the key and take it for its first full blown cruise!! Most if now all done by your own 2 hands............!

Give her a hug from me and tell her it will be ok!!! biggrin

OMG!!!!! Re-body please! I saw another Chevelle today with Beaumont parts on it so we need to get them back. Cut those Chevelles up, (sorry Chevelle guys)

Beaumont4008 · Uber Guru

Judging by you past work, you can do it !!!    I see you got spare tail lights in the trunk. Thats one step closer.    Get dash parts of a GTO or lemans, the steering wheel is the same as a 69 camaro.

Trim    755 is Black Int. all vinyl bench seat

PT      61 is Expresso Brown   2F is Dark Fawn vinyl top

4c      third week of April

m35 powerglide trany.

Albert, I'll look through my stash of Beaumont parts and see what all 69 parts I have. I know I have all or most of the front grill. Just not real sure on the condition. I'll bring the parts I have to the Ohio Chevelle show next week. There are a couple places that may have some of the pieces you will need like tail light bezels. You'll have your hands full with this one.

Did wind up using another body

AlbertG · Veteran Member

and since the donor car was a AC car...had to fix the firewall.

AlbertG · Veteran Member

Another update..another year gone by..but more progress none the less. After taking some time to complete a factory corect restoration on my 300 deluxe chevelle I was not looking forward to another "stock" restoration...in fact I have gone 180 degrees the other way! I am now in the middle of building a gasser style race car! straight axle..big motor (540) 69 Beaumont. I'll get some pics up soon.
