69 bonnEVILle Wagon Update

I said it before and I say it again that car is awesome!!!!

 

Well these pictures are probably getting pretty repetitive being they are the same scene and car in every shot but i wanted to show you guys what i did with the rocker moldings. Originally they are all polished aluminum. I went ahead and painted all the rocker trim then proceeded to wipe any paint off the top of the ridges causing the shiny aluminum to show. Also put the BONNEVILLE script back on the rockers. They have been ready for 3 years now Here is some pics of what i did this last weekend.












Here is what it looked like originally.

 

Looking good! The black seems to make it look even bigger....

 

Well guys im just that much closer to done! Spring time here i come! Did my bit of painting over the weekend. Got the valance done and the nose piece and redid a wheel that got jacked. Never fails that you will be redoing something when restoring a car. First few pictures are of my last pieces i painted. I also got my new windshield put in and got my personalized plates in the mail. Now i just have to get the rear bumper chromed, get the front seat in, and put the front end on. Oh and figure out where the billion pieces of trim go on the backsides of the seats. ENJOY!

 

Looks great!

 

Im gonna go ahead and call the wagon about 95.36134 complete! haha. I got all the rear interior back in including the carpet on the back of the jump seats and the jump seats themselves installed. I also have gotten the entire front end done including the valance, nose piece, and the 428 emblem for the grill. Also got a new windshield installed and the wipers all working. I should be recieving my front seat any day now and ive just sent the rear bumper off for rechroming. So the only things i have left is the drivers seat and the rear bumper! Very exciting after a 3 year build Enjoy!

 

Looking excellent!

 

No Sh**! awesome!

 

Man, you're going to have drivers movin' out of your way like the parting of the red sea! That thing is BAD A**!!!!

(Still think it needs the chrome rings on the RallyII's, but that's just me....)

This car is so badass looking!

 

Such good work you've done - she's a keeper!

 

Well its been quite some time since Ive posted! I got my front seat in and took her out on her maiden voyage in May. Unfortunately that voyage caused the ol girl to blow a head gasket! Just my luck. It was an easy fix just took a little time and muscle to get them heads out of there. I put her in a car show at the beginning of June and was a class winner for original intent. Still waiting on my bumper that has been at the chrome shop for the last 3 months. Cant wait to get it back!
