My before picture was during the time my Chevelle was my primary transportation. The after is current as of today actually. I'm working on a AFTER AFTER when its drivable again.
EDIT:(2 THINGS)

1 - sorry the bitmap doesnt show a thumbnail, Im not crafty enough to fix it.

2 - I had to white out part of the picture due to content of a "frank and mature nature." :P

due to content of a "frank and mature nature."

Frank does not have a "mature nature"!!

**Blue70** · 07-22-2005

Wow!

AT least I now know I am not the only one that starts with a pile

I don't have much to show, the trailer dumped it into my tiny one car garage so I couldn't back up far enough to get any side shots

Here are my before photos..

**primate** · 07-22-2005

frank, your my hero.

michael has done an amazing amount of work.

**CAMAROBOY69** · 07-22-2005

OH this will be an awesome thread. These are my favorite kind of pics when you see what people did before and after. I have a few pics.
SOme of these pics still arent updated yet like the interior. Now I have 5" Autometer gauges stuffed into the original dash cluster. Also clear tail lights.

Those will do for now. Remember, some of these still arent updated all the way yet.

**kennyd** · 07-22-2005

my 61 in process , since these we have removed that frame and are trying to get art morrision to call us back with a price for a new one !

**kennyd** · 07-22-2005

sorry for the " poser "wheels

**69boo307** · 07-22-2005

I was lucky, I actually started with a very solid rust free car. I have yet to do any body work or painting on it in the 15 years I've had it. The paint job is around 25 years old. Except for adding buckets and a floor shifter, it has the original interior right down to the carpet and even the cardboard rear package tray. Still sports the factory bumpers, emblems and trim, even the weatherstripping. Apparently the original owner kept it garaged all its life, although he lived down a dirt road and the car was covered with red mud when my dad and I picked it up, back when I was 15. If the guy had just washed and detailed the car he could have sold it for twice what he did. After a good detailing and replacing a few worn out parts, I took it to local car shows when I was in high school.

I=Except for the wheels and stance it still looks the same now, but there's not a single mechanical piece on the car that is still original

See my sig picture, that's how I got it. It's solid, maybe one tiny spot of rust and it's not going anywhere. The chrome and trim all need to be redone or replaced but that'll come in time.

**jy211** · 07-22-2005

Here's mine before...and during....

will have some shots of it finished in the next month...

**Rick Dorion** · 07-22-2005
