George Bojaciuk Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 With being sequestered, I've had time to do a few interiors... First one is my 55 year old model restoration, Son of Danger!
Snake45 Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Sweet! But if you're going for factory stock, the entire central panel on the passenger side should be brushed aluminum, not just the edge of it. Drive on!
George Bojaciuk Posted July 6, 2020 Author Posted July 6, 2020 Not stock! Doing a car from my “youte”!

Snake45 Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Body swap? I see this one still has windshield molding brace on it. And what's the gold thing on the seat in the glue bomb picture? Looks kinda like a piece of .32 or .380 ACP brass.
George Bojaciuk Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 Nose swap. The glue had deteriorated the original windshield frame so bad that it crumbled after coming out of the pond. Looked like it was broken and repaired many times. Same with the tail light panel. Guy who built this in '65 must have used the whole tube of glue on it. I wrote about this in my column but if you look at the light passing thru the plastic, you can see just how thick the original is. I plan on updating the scripts and such to the '65.
Tom Geiger Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Nice save George! I kinda like the original Son of Danger. I might have kept it around for giggles if it wasn’t a rare kit
George Bojaciuk Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 Thx! I couldn’t toss it. Thought I just try a miracle! Thx too, Geno!

The rear deck script is the same between '63 and '65, and I believe the FI fender emblems are too, if you're using them. Only exterior emblem differences would be the nose flag emblem, and the gas filler cap. And of course the rocker panel trim is different for all five years of the C2.
George Bojaciuk Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 Yep! ‘65-‘67 used the same rockers. Gas cap engraving is gone as are all the emblems except the fenders. Correct and new will be added to replicate Tony’s car. He use to wake me at 2:30 AM when he rumbled down my stone driveway.

George Bojaciuk Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Catalog states differently. I need to check the NCRS book... At any rate, it will have road pipes anyway... Edited July 7, 2020 by George Bojaciuk

George Bojaciuk Posted July 8, 2020 Author Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) So why the hard time? This is a “fun” work in progress of a car from my younger days! The car was not stock by any means! This is not intended as a 100 point stock resto... never was! Edited July 8, 2020 by George Bojaciuk
Snake45 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 No hard time intended, old friend. I apologize if you took it that way.
George Bojaciuk Posted July 8, 2020 Author Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) OK...just checking! Edited July 8, 2020 by George Bojaciuk
Snake45 Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 Hey, why not put this project in the Bring Out Your Dead build? It certainly qualifies, and it looks like you'll be able to GITTER DONE by September 30. We'd be proud to have you on board!
George Bojaciuk Posted July 8, 2020 Author Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I’ll look into it... thanks! I’ve been compiling pics for an article for my column first. Then I’d post on a forum. Edited July 8, 2020 by George Bojaciuk
