Roth Potter Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Sounds awesome when you put your foot on the accelerator, but I'm not sure if idle sound is distorted by the camera or something else. I hear of sort of middle (pitch?) sound beside the low sound. I only hear it when your around the back of the car. Quote
jaak Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Wow, haven't realized it has been so long since I updated. Still working on the Charger when I get a chance, but the last few months I have been doing the body work and prepping a 66 Chevy Nova for paint. During this past summer I finished all the rust repair on the body of the GL. I put in the lower rear quarter skin, wound up having to buy/replace right rear valance cap, and had to cut out and fabricate patch above the right rear wheel well, and in front of right rear wheel well. In hind sight, probably would have been quicker to just put a whole quarter skin on the right side.... but Its all solid now. Also fabbed up patches to fill up the round marker holes on the fenders and quarters. I still got a couple of small areas of rust that need attention, but they are in jamb areas, I will take care of that when I prep the jambs. I went ahead and shot the outside with epoxy primer to seal and protect it until I get to doing the body work and paint prep. It looks good in primer, all in one color, but it really shows all the dings and straightening that needs done. I finally got me a set of wheels I am happy with last week. I showed some pics of other wheels I have bought, started off with turbo vecs, then picked up a 14x8 vector from a junk yard, found a pair of 15x8.5, and a 14x7 vector off craigslist... long story short I have bought sold several wheels and finally picked up a vintage set of 15 x 7s with original centercaps off ebay. After all the buying, selling, etc. right now I have around $250 in this set, but still have a couple of 14 inch vectors that I'm trying to sell. Wheels as I purchased them... Wheel after a little cleaning and painting.... So thats where I am now, haven't been doing a lot on it lately, because I am working on other stuff, but the money I am making, I am buying up parts and supplies I need. I bought all the stuff to do a front disc brake conversion, all the stuff to rebuild the rear drum brakes, got all the new parts I need for my engine, etc. Maybe when I finished the Nova, I can start up body and paint prep.

HossC Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for updating us, Jason. I have to agree, the body looks much better now that it's all in one color. It's almost ready for Cale Yarborough . Quote
Roth Potter Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Nice update Jason! Didn't expect the rear lights spaces to be part of the body, never had the chance to see inside one yet. Quote
jaak Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 Nice update Jason! Didn't expect the rear lights spaces to be part of the body, never had the chance to see inside one yet.Actually they are not. I got an old extra set of tail light housings, I just stick them in where the tail lights go when I prime and paint... I used them on the other car too when I was building it. Just saves time pop those in instead of masking/taping out the tail light openings, to keep overspray out of the trunk area. Jason Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks for the update. Keep up the good work and keep us posted!!! Quote
Roth Potter Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 This at the moment, it's not country but not that hard either. Quote
Boss JD Hogg Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 WOW Jason, you are doing a fantastic job on this restoration! I really like seeing do-it-yourself restorations, like this one, as opposed to someone just sending a car out to a professional shop to have restored. Everything is turning out very nice! BTW, what color are you planning on painting it? 1975 Corvette Flame Red? Quote
Roth Potter Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 Whoops! did I just post that in the wrong topic or did the glitch happened again? I think I've had it before that the post came up in another topic. Quote

vondegroot Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 So great! My dream is to rebuild a 69-70 Charger... but I need a garage first, hehehe. My 2006 Charger will have to suffice for now. Quote
Wakko Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 Any updates on this old thread? Roth Potter 1 Quote
Boss JD Hogg Posted September 29, 2018 Report Posted September 29, 2018 I'd like to see how this one is turning out. Quote
