Muscle car build pictures

Post your build pictures if you have them. Good, bad, and ugly...

If it doesn't fit, fix it


Safety first. I'm the Sierra Club's public enemy #1...


Another Garage paint job. Number, umm, well I lost count...


Perfection HotRod style...

Very nice, man. Are you doing the Camaro and Chevelle at the same time?

Later this year, I'm going to attempt my first "all over" on a Porsche I'm building. I figure if it's not good, it's only paint - I'll sand it off.

Here's my most ambitious project yet. I showed it on the6, but I'll show you again. This is my very first car, given to me by my Father. It's been sitting since an electrical fire sideline it some 24 years ago. The only things I could save were the roof, dashboard, A pillars and the little panel between the rear window and trunk lid. Everything else is new...

Very nice! Great work on the floors. The Nova was a basket case but not nearly as bad as your floors.

The first chevelle (blue one) was purchased by my mother new from the dealership and has always been in the family. It was my first car growing up but I wasn't allowed to modify it. That naturally progressed into chevelle #2 (pictured below). The Nova & Camaro were built back to back but I had to sell them when I moved to Italy. I did a full resto on the blue chevelle for mom when I got back from traveling before moving to Beantown. It's now been 2+ years without a project and I'm having withdrawls, lol.

If you ever have any questions on body work or paint PM me. I'd be happy to help if I can.

The shop:

Chevelle #2:

I envy your bodywork skills. That Mustang is going to turn out great. Nothing like a project that has some sentimental value attached to it.

Here yea go. I was never a big fan of the pro-street look but a friend's co-worker was looking to move it cheap and I couldn't pass up the deal. The parts alone were worth more than the car. The idea was to put a big block in it and turn it into a fun street car to romp around down in but I ended up selling it as a roller to move to Italy for a year. I sold it to a guy outside of Sacramento for about twice what I had into it. Last I heard he sent it to a race shop to be finished.
