One of my first Restoration builds from 1999-2000
Thought i would share it with everyone. I just receieved it in the mail today........
Its by far perfect but was just so excited to have the chance to get it back........
This one has been gone 5 years and is still in the same shape as the day i sent it off in the mail.........
Heres a before pic of it in 2000........(didnt have a d/camera back when) Use to use my flat bed scanner for pics,then tried a poleriod for awhile then bought a little RCA d/cam that didnt take very good close ups..) then in 2002 i bought my very first Sony FD100 D/cam that i still own and use) so for me the up grade to a better D/camera was a plus! and now own two FD100 D/cameras)
Heres a before pic of the 67 galaxie.........(was takin with my then new web cam)
Heres a shot after fixing the vent post
And only have been using BMF (Bare metal foil) for about a year now here is the vent post cleaned up and BMF'ed...........
Fresh paint in 2002
Acouple mock up pictures (cause i didnt know what to do with the bumpers and grill as they was stripped of there chrome)
Dont remember if i got any finished pics of this build cause i havent been able to find any..........here's pics of it today as it came in the mail back to me.....and i am one happy camper!!!
I ended up Gettin some Alcad ll and tried it out for the first time and its not to bad looking but not like the chrome i was after but better then silver paint
Also luck would have it think i have an extra set of taillites and bezels.
The plan is to get it 100% back into shape, like detail some things i missed or just didnt due back when and wanted to get the pics before i went in for the details.........
So have you any of your old builds left in the same state they was built back when? I would like to see them so post them int his new board.......
