1967 Corvette Restoring this one

[59 Impala]

I'm restoring this 67 Vette from one that I started to build back in the 80's. It's one of the Streeker Vette kits.

The Lime Gold one on the right is the one that I'm rebuilding. As you can see, it sets a little lower than the Blue one. It took a lot of grinding on the chassis and the interior to get it lower. I also cut out the fenders front and rear.

Here you can see it after stripping the paint off. I also had to scribe the door openings because the lines were kinda faint.

Here you can see the putty that I had to add to the rear end. The body has a lot of sink marks on it and had to be filled.

I'll post some more pics of the work being done. Thanks fer lookin. Dan

Well, I got some more done on this car tonight. I got the BMF done and the glass cleaned up and installed. Here are some pics of how she looks now.

I'm getting close to getting er done. I'm not going to install the bumpers on this build. For one reason is that I don't have them. I have no clue of what happened to them. Dan

I want to use the big block but I'm not sure if the exhaust will fit. I should know tomorrow if it will or not.

Very nice work, Brother. What did you use for the exterior color?

Great work so far. Build is really coming along...

[59 Impala]

Thanks a lot guys and Charlie, the color is one that I mixed up. I used Testors Bronze, Copper, a little Ruby Red and a little Brown to come up with my Rootbeer, sorta. I tried to come close to Testors Rootbeer using their enamels. Their Rootbeer is a lacquer and I like using the enamels and wanted to see if I could come close in color. I like the results. Dan

I have that kit too. Now I want to build it.

I finally got er done. Here are some pics of how she looks now. I hope ya like it.

I couldn't use the headers from the kit because of the big block so I used the manifolds from a 409 and made the curved pipes to meet up with the side pipes.

Thanks fer lookin. Dan
