69 bonnEVILle Wagon Update

Thanks a lot guys. Just got all the stuff to cut and buff her tomorrow. Wish me luck lol

 

Good luck!

 

Beautiful!!! Great work done, it looks soo good looking from here!

 

Great job! Just found this thread so read it from start to finish, quite a bit of repair work done there. Those are great looking cars. Gonna put the AC back in it?

 

Definately gonna be putting the A/C back in her. Most of the vacuum lines were burned from the fire from when i bought the car so im gonna have to tear the dash apart and get some new lines ran. To give ya an idea of what i had to work with here is a picture of the engine when i bought the car! If you have a Pontiac watch that loom of wires that runs over the heat crossover on the manifold! Thats what caused this fire. Fortunately i replaced a few things and gave it a new engine harness and it runs like a champ! Hard to believe looking back at this picture.

 

If anyone has this part ---------------^ for the drivers side let me know. Its the fender chorme. Ive been robbing parts off a catalina wagon here but as fate would have it, it was wrecked on the drivers side. Just wanted to post up a couple pictures for you guys since ya probably havent heard from me in awhile. I know you missed me

 

Car looks GREAT, f1zzy!

For that fender moulding, I would try:

Lots of cars & parts available, but you need to be patient; it's a hobby/job and his full-time sales guy recently quit.

Good luck!

 

Paint job looks great! Gonna be a stunner when it's done.

 

The paint and body work look great. Are you going to upgrade the interior? That cinder block doesn't look so good for lower lumbar support.

 

Thanks alot for Steve's info. He has everything i need! The interior is all good minus the drivers side front seat and headliner. Luckily when i bought the car it had sat with the seats folded down which saved all the rear seats.

 

Real nice work and car!

 

luv the drivers seat
puts a whole new meaning behind..."dang this seats rock hard"

looks great Fiz

 

Speaking of seats . . . Does anyone happen to know of a place that sells the factory seat covers to re-upholster the front seat? I have scoured the net but i cannot find any for a bench seat on a 69 bonneville wagon. I finally pulled the car out of the paint booth since i painted it. Its definately not a finished product yet but damn is it getting close!















Shhh! Dont let the cops know about my tinted windows...not exactly street legal if ya know what i mean

 

It's only illegal if you get caught... Sweet sweet Bonnie by the way.
