rehab of my 69 project HillbillyDeluxe Build by Ironworks

[jwillia2]

Guys,

Just wanted to share some of my build (rebuild maybe better word). After moving my car from the east coast to the west coast I found myself looking for a place to give my old 69 a little updating. A good friend of mine had had a few amazing cars built by Rodger Lee and his crew at Ironworks, so we came together and came up with a plan to give my car what it needed to bring it to the front. I should have posted more pics as the project progressed, but Rodger has done so much in 3-4 months time got away from me. Can't say enough good things about Ironworks. This has been a very positive/exciting experience as they work on the cars and keep you 100 percent involved. The plan was to


Replace Subframe and do full DSE goodies front and rear
fix all body issues and smooth firewall
install all new wiring and guages
update driveline with new T56
replace all braking system and wheels
repaint and lizard skin overside
trick out the engine bay with keeping it nice and neat
build full custom stainless exhaust
new custom interior

Thanks Justin, It's been a fun process. I'm looking forward to you tearing up the streets of LA in this beast. Projects like this quick transformation are fun. Its clean, simple, and nice, but its not over the top and will be a super fun car you should be able to drive the wheels off of when we are done. I'm super proud of the transformation we have been able accomplish in less then 4 months.

I have spend many years trying to structure my business to get to the point to be able to do just this.

Thanks

[badbu68]

Roger is the car still at your shop? Do you have any pictures of how you got the heat exchanger on the passenger side to fit with the RS doors? Did you run tubing down to the bottom of the Radiator support and go under? Any help would be appreciated.

We actually reused the cooler and mount Justin made when he built the car the first time. The intercooler pump under the old battery tray has been the tougher deal to route.

Thanks it’s got a lot of good parts on it and the craftsmanship shows. Doesn’t have any fancy body mods but GM did a good job as is in my opinion. Rodger has done a great job making it ready to pound on and not have any worries about drivability which was a big concern. I like to enjoy my cars not just look at them.

That will be very cool. I can only imagine how excited you must be for an early holiday present.

You will need to make sure to let some smoke out of the tires from time to time, it helps the blues go away and puts a smile on your face. ...at least it works that way for me. :D

Congrats on a beautiful car! Love that you kept the body true to form and you can never go wrong with a black car with a straight body! Keep the updates coming. I love the Ironworks jack stands, btw...may they would throw those in as a "Christmas/Customer Appreciation" gift, hint, hint!!:poke:

Nice progress! Those seats will hold you in place. Do you have any pictures of where the cold air intake goes through to where the filter is under the fender? I'm looking for ideas. Maybe a shot from the passenger side? Thanks.

The subframe connectors are just something we came up with that was cleaner and didn't have such long thru bolts. I'm sure we could make some more I would have to figure out pricing I have no idea how long they took to make off hand.

The core support is an auto rad unit that went to the powder coater straight out of the box. The under hood is pretty simple for a 5-6 month project. The car was mini tubbed when we got it and we just scuff and shot the car fixing some issues to make it straight again. The car will be a super fun car to drive and take his family out in. Justin still wants to figure out all the interior stuff he wants to geek out on further down the road. But spring time is coming so he needs to hit the road.

[jmac]

Thanks for the quick reply!

How's the quality of the Autorad setup? Any fitment issues or problems lining up the front sheet metal?

We have sold and installed them for many years. I have never had one issue with anything not fitting or being out of wack. Those guys build nice stuff. 70% of the cars we build use their stuff and we sell quite a few each year. And no telling how many of those my wife sells each year. A bunch.

Just be prepared to wait a little while. They are all custom built to order.

Have you ever used their heat exchanger and condenser package? I have an LSA going in my 69 and I haven’t bought a heat exchanger yet. I like the idea of using their heat exchanger and condenser assembly as one nice stack designed to work together, but I don’t know how efficient their exchanger is compared to other options.

I have never gotten a package like that that ever clears everything the way I want and gets the best air flow. Everyone does everything different so I always mount my own.
