      Picked Up The Roadstershop Chassis

      I drove down to Louisville Kentucky to pick up the chassis. Friend of mine is a distributor and had to pick one up for another customer so he stacked mine on top and brought it to me. We separated them in the parking lot of our hotel. it created quite a spectacle.

      Disassembling The Old Girl

      It's at this point that I wondered if I was insane to take apart a perfectly good running automobile.

      Uh Oh....I THOUGHT!!! My car had no body issues...I was wrong

      So the plan was to purchase a Roadstershop chassis, put my perfectly clean rust free body on top then paint the car......... well I was shocked at what I found underneath the paint. Yes that's bondo that's about 1/4"-3/8" thick.

      I really like 69 birds. I hope you don’t find other spots like that.

      Looks like someone did a hack installation of quarter panel skins. This should have been visible from inside the trunk.

      It gets worse....someone put Camaro quarters on it. They filled in the grooves that are just behind the door or just in front of the rear wheels with bondo. I noticed it when taking out the quarter window regulators...... this will all be fixed
