So this showed up on Monday. Built by the Roadster shop a few years ago. My customer bought it at Barrett Jackson and it died coming off the transporter. Pretty nice car but a little over done.

Not that my opinion matters, but sometimes just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done.

Fuel pump took a shit. 66-67 nova is what it started out as.

 

[bonesfab]

Cleaning up a little today and got some wheels under the new to me mini press brake.

 

[Romans9]

That is a bad ass finger brake…

 

[Rajobigguy]

I still say that if I was still local to you that I would periodically volunteer my services at your shop just for the fun of it.

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

Damn son, that Bronco bay I could ask questions about now that I'm such an aficionado JaJaJa.... but I aint touchin that Pontiac triple you sexy bitch

So we don’t experience this too often. The 65 gto went home on Tuesday evening after the customer took it for a test drive. And that was after I put about 50 miles on it. Well it was back in a tow truck Wednesday morning. Just started making a noise and stopped. Kicked two rods out and pretty much destroyed the numbers matching block. This car came in in pieces. No front suspension and the engine was assembled. My worker noticed it was missing the oil pump driveshaft so we fixed that before it went in. Now we get to do another Pontiac engine. He was sad but didn’t blame us thankfully. He is going to talk with his buddy who sold it to him as a fresh rebuild and ready to go. Shit happens.

 

[bonesfab]

The 70 mustang we are almost done with. My buddy did a 521 big block ford all done up for it. Now it seems to have trans problems. Typical the only thing we didn’t do is the trans because it was fresh.

 

[bonesfab]

Didn’t think I would be restoring a 1987 Camaro. But what the hell. Mullet is looking much better. Have some interior on order for it so now we wait.

 

[Eliminator21vdrive]

I had an 85 TA same colors an wheels

Yes this one kicked the rods out.

 

[Kachina26]

Yes this one kicked the rods out.

'65?

 

[bonesfab]

'65?

Yes.

 

[Kachina26]

Yes.

I have a sentimental attachment to '67, but always preferred the shorter '64 & '65 models. Nice looking car.

 

[Dkahnjob]

Jim & Bob at the Bones Fab shop just did a gear change for me on my Thunderbolt from 4.56 to 3.50 rear end gears and replace the 8 gallon fuel cell with a 20 Gallon tank.
The car is perfect now, like a freeway flyer. I even have a speedometer and gas gauge now.

Just had this 65 convertible in to make it run. It’s amazing what some shops do to customers cars.

 

[bonesfab]

All aluminum 505 Pontiac with a 5-speed. Just what a convertible needs.

One of the cars I want one day is the 1989 turbo trans am pace car. Best looking and with a grand national engine.

 

[bonesfab]

Old school or new school?

The wheel choice on both of those cars, just doesn't jive with me.

Jibe. You ain't bro.

I've seen this car at the Piru July 4th car show a few years ago. I too thought it was overdone.

Is that a missing plug in the camshaft oil galley?

I still love them, but the 69 taillights have always annoyed me, the 68 taillights looks so much better.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Motors? Kind of a fan of carbed and barely able to idle...may not be as fast, but just a different attitude.

Totally agree.
My step dad had 69 with the 68 light buckets

 

[bilz]

Always like the rally wheels.
