The '69 saw some light today.... new pics

[Rybar]

Hey guys, rolled the car out inot the driveway today. Cleaned her up a bit and took some much needed pics. It has been raining for 27 days straight so I couldn't get anything decent for so long... :willy:

New pics are on my site :thumbsup: :

What's been done since the last update: Car was lowered and we installed the QA1 SBC front springs. It sat too high with the BBC springs and the LS1. De-arched the leafs (we actually raised the rear a tad to let it settle after driving) Installed the rear swaybar, Global west SFC's, driveshaft loop, had a custom driveshaft made, had a custom 2.5" exhaust built, with x-pipe and magnaflows w/ 3" rear exit stainless tips. All the brake lines finilazed, and the system bled, suspension alignment. For the engine, all the plumbing is done, rad hoses, heater hoses, and I had a similar intake built to Steve Rupp's Blue car (not in the pics yet) we also are currently aligning the front RS headlights and some of the front sheetmetal has to be aligned a bit better, as well as the glass & doors. Also installed a plate to cover my rather large shifter hole, installed the Modo pedals, and some parts of the dash.

Still to be done: finish some wiring, headlights, horn, reverse lights, stereo (deck, box etc) install interior panels and carpet, trim, front/rear glass, rear seats, horn button, align front sheet metal and RS headlight doors, ceramic coat exhaust and intake, install reverse lights, headlights and emblems.

Almost there :D :D

Color is Candy Red, it's a tri-stage paint job. Silver base with a transparent red. 8 coats I beleive. Your can get this paint from House of Kolor and some other manufacturers.

Thanks for all the compliments.

My buddy owns a shop, and they sprayed it. The paint has not been wet sanded and polished. The way you see it is directly out of the booth over a year ago.

Looking good, Rybar! Color combo looks killer. Candies look awesome, especially once the sun hits them. Wheel/Tire combo & stance look good also. Keep up the excellent work.

It's noisy at the front because I think the fans were on. And the car sounds ALOT better in person, my digi cam is getting old...
