Lemans

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Started another project this week, going to get full restoration, and some mild mods, definetely going to get disc brakes, fuel upgrade, ignition, maybe a few more goodies, but we will see as it goes.

Forgot to put up progress pics for this one.

That is a big ass car... Any idea on color?

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Tell me about it, just about every car in here is about the biggest in its era, we just brought in a 40 pontiac for a full resto, just about out of room. lol

No idea on color yet, i know it's getting new interior and top though so it's pretty much a open book. Hopefully something that keeps retro feel but not the most common color, if you know what i'm saying.

How about Pontiac Tropical Lime. Its a 1971 color and one of my favorite of all the muscle car era and would look killer on your lemans.

That color would look killer!!

Been making a lot of headway on this one. Body shell has been blasted and put in epoxy, a lot more floor patches than I would have guessed.
We also had to put a bunch of patches in the frame, but that is powder coated now and assembly has begun.
Really anxious to see the whole frame and suspension assembled with the motor and trans in it..

Axle is also out getting re-geared and should be a great match to the engine and trans.
Hopefully I can pick that up soon.

Keylime Green or Gulf Turquoise....great colours with a white top/interior.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

It's all getting changed as far as I know.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Been busy but taking a minute to post up some pics.
Frame has seen better days





Body could be worse but will need some work for sure.






Frame after about 12 hours of repairs and powdercoating.


Getting installed today.

I got some damage in simular areas of my LeMans in the window channel and floor. I'm defently not looking forward to stripping it

[Auto Rod Technologies]

I can understand that, all the gremlins come out when stripped!

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Time for some assembly work!!

[Auto Rod Technologies]

New 700R4 Transmission and new front end components, need to get a steering link and then we can install the disc brakes and steering..
Also new gearing for the rear. Should make the car much more enjoyable.

Nice car to build! Cant wait to see how it turns out

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Back to making some progress on this one..
A little more patch work than what was to be expected.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Made a little progress since the last update..
Working on the back half this week.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

Today I trimmed the quarters, and started tig welding them on.. I just about finished one side, so if things go good I should have them both finished tomorrow.
Then back to the Impala we are restoring.
