Beth's '72 before...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Some serious rot makes locating the new heater channel a tricky situation.

 

 

Here it is roughed in....

 

 

Tim works on some changes that make this '72 look like a '65... removal of the rear quarter vents.

 

 

 Front '66 and down apron with a new quarter panel replacement section.

 

 

Here's the section primed.

 

 

Tim does a lot of metal work due to excessive rot. 

 

 

 

Tim grafts in a rag top section and begins on the body work. 

 

 

 

 

 

Removal of fuel door.

 

 

 

In primer... with the '65 rear clip

 

 

 

A fresh coat of paint. BMW Silberblau

 

 

 

 

Here's the smoothed in '65 style dash

 

 

Relocated the body side molding to the '65 larger size and some details in the fender wells.

 

 

 

'65 hood

 

 

On the pan with '65 front fenders but still using '72 doors.

 

 

Removal of sound deadening, smooth firewall, and rhino lined package tray.  '65 rear fenders.

 

 

After Josh and Beth finish the car's wiring, interior, headliner, carpets, windows, etc.  here's the finished product... an award winning beauty!
