    This past weekend I changed the front wheels from 4 bolt to 5 bolt. Got some better looking rims just not putting them on because the wheels will crack. Will post pictures of the seats when we get then level.

    Hello everyone sorry about not posting anything lately I have been putting off on my car because My moms boyfriend was getting ready for thunder in the alberni valley(past weekend). Which had perfect weather for drivers. Then for Pinks all out this weekend:). Hope to get back to working on it soon.

    Looks good. Nice clean '69.5. I see the cylinder head was cast on April 22, 1969. What's the last 6 numbers of your VIN, if you don't mind me asking? Seems to be a pretty early car.

    Project looks great! Any updates?

    Any pics of your seats/mods you made to make them sit level? I am about to put a set of buckets in my 70 and am looking for options... Thanks!

    We just used longer bolts and washers to make it level and drilled the holes that we needed.In the spring I will be changing the washers to steel tubing

    Due to the weather I have put my car away for the winter because most for the stuff I need to do is welding and welds and water don't usually mix.:cry:

    Rear end

    Hey guys sorry about the not updating but I havent really done anything to my car. I only got 4.5 months to get it ready for Crusin' to Colby, Changing to rear end from 4 bolt to 5 bolt. Then finish leveling to seats, install my new gauges and then put the fenders and doors and the grabber spoiler.:) Then get it painted
