Project FNQUIK

[Motown 454]

I Just decided to name my project after my liscence plate. So here is the reintroduction of my car FNQUIK I will show a few pictures of when I got it in 2003.







My car is being completely rebuilt the nose, is GM, the rest is aftermarket. the car has been totaly dissassembled, scence these pictures the carcass has been blasted and sanded.

Is that a camarosaurus skeleton I sure hope I don't have to strip mine that far when I get started on it again this winter.you've clearly got more ambition than me

I went to see my car in September, he was finnishing annother car before starting back on mine. It was blasted then scotch brite sanded . After that it was primed with weld thru epoxi primer. All parts will be scotch brite sanded and primed in the same way. You can see the frame rails on the jig, and the rear going back together.
Here are somre pictures the car is a little bit further ahead than this now.








Sorry for so many pictures I'm kind of excited Wayne

It is the only way to truly do one right. They all have rust.

That might be the craziest think I've ever seen. The Royal Sport Camaro was in about the same shape from what I remember. I guess anything can be saved with enough time and money. God Speed man.
