Coupe chevy 1971 - 6 cylinder

[EL RAFA_D]

Had it not to understand is WHY USE GOOGLE TRANSLATOR OF


Hello people I introduce myself .. my name is dario de Argentina, I'm 21 years old, I like cars a lot and most of all I love more than anything to work with old cars! jaja .. 9 months ago bought a '71 Chevy coupe to restore ... is excellent for mechanical, the engine is a little clock, and inside is a crazy thing! The trouble is that sheet metal is very bad, as the floor of the trunk, the driver and passenger (to a lesser amount), a couple of places not so complicated, and worst of all ... the ceiling. The chevy was standing 3 ½ years out in the sun, rain and other ... the worst part is that I had vinyl roof, so just imagine how I found it when I throw down!
as you know is not easy to restore old cars in Argentina because parts are not manufactured here as alla costs money and is restoring a car of this class --- so we're managing with what we have in wrecking and whatever is on sale ---
well, I'll show you a couple of photos of when they buy it and eventually show you how the project was moving forward if you are interested ...

.. VERY GOOD FORUM!

[CruizinKev]

[Nessumsar]

Very cool! Looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. Keep us updated on the work!

[WS6]

The rims look nice. Best of luck to you and welcome to the site.

[EL RAFA_D]

hola gente! thank you very much for the comments!

I'll keep showing pictures of what he was made a little time

completely remove the hood the paint .... PHOSPHATIZANT and then apply anti-corrosive paint
Then I had to send him to fix the holes that have ...

the same work was done with this ...

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img521.imageshack.us/i/1002083.jpg/)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img237.imageshack.us/i/1002086.jpg/)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img237.imageshack.us/i/1002093.jpg/)

these are many parts to send to sand, to completely remove the rust, especially where you can not get disc and grinder


https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img26.imageshack.us/i/1002096t.jpg/)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img26.imageshack.us/i/1002100v.jpg/)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img183.imageshack.us/i/1002102.jpg/)https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img140.imageshack.us/i/1002107.jpg/)

this will stay a little paint Chassis

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img140.imageshack.us/i/1002109.jpg/)

these discs work with inside and outside and sand where it could not

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://img183.imageshack.us/i/1002103.jpg/)

here is all painted

tomorrow I'm showing how it turned out the engine -!

[Motown 454]

Welcome nice project. I can't wait to see what you did tomorrow.

[rchaskin]

Wow. Interesting car.

Nova guys check out these pictures close.

Oddities that I saw:
68 style dash, with round pods
Different style console
Plastic style heater box cover.

It is cool to see these cars, and the differences, off shore.

Randy

morning show them how it turned out painted and more progress!

[gt40]

Hi Rafa! I am fan of the make with the oval. I'm also from Argentina. Nice work you are doing on the chevy, I hope we can show how well we can work here in the south with very few resources!

[gt40]

I'm also working on a 250 with the same colors of yours. Here's a pic of it before placing it in a Nova 400.

placing the 250 in the street for lack of space in the workshop

[camarorad]

Nice project looks good. I lived in Argentina for a couple of years in the patagonia. I always liked seeing these cars and the fiat 600 were a favorite too.
