This
car originally came from Montréal and was driven by
the customer to Vancouver. It is a 6cylinder
automatic. We disassembled the car, separated
the frame from the body and put it on our frame
rack, then sent the body to the strippers.
Upon return from the strippers we determined just
how much rust damage there was. Heavy tar,
rivets and and filler were used prior to our
accepting the car in order to control the rust
problem.
The owner purchased a good frame that was converted
to match the old one and body panels were made by us
as they are not available. Countless hours
were spent on metal forming and shaping.
Metal finishing would have been too costly, so
fillers were used to a point. The progress
pictures, and the finished pictures, show the end
results of this long and difficult process.
This car began very heavily rusted and became a mint
condition collector.
(Please note that this customer wanted this very
car, no matter the work involved, it had to be that
very car)
