The 510 Realm

Love it.I've had a 67 Chevelle since 90....Nice car

Hi James,
Ya I got a chance to meet Dan awhile ago. I keep meaning to get up to his shop and check out some of his stuff.

That's good to know Byron. I didn't realize there was a club up here. I would definitely love to come hang out and learn some stuff from you guys. We'll see once the car is on the road, if the little 1.2 liter can stretch it legs a bit. I better get back to work on it.

Thanks Byron and everyone.
I hope to get her running this summer ( money willing ) and be that hang around little brother , that everyone just tolerates because he's a bit different.
( until the wife gives me the green light to by a 510 Coupe) ...( and the money)

So while going thru the body , it was pointed out there might be a bit of a dent on the rocker. I have NOS rocker panels , but these are rust free and the damage wasn't to bad , so pull , shrink, hammer repeat . A small bit of surface enhancer and she will look good enough. http://i30.photobucket.co...

Thanks Tyson, It won't be any where near your quality , but I hope to have a decent example that I can gain some skills on and have some fun re living a bit of my youth . ( I just hope it doesn't gather the points I use to have) More to come.....and you were right about that quarter panel......you'l...

As the story continues. I got cracking on the back half of the car...( looking for rust and repairing any dents I could with out going crazy) I stripped the back of the car and fixed and filled any areas that needed ...shot in epoxy and then high build. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/powerbe...

As far as the drive train. I have a fairly recent rebuilt a12 with bigger pistons. I'm going to do a back yard port and polish on a spare head I have , and see if i can get the seats cut to fit bigger a14 valves.( and some other things ) Lynx side draft intake with a single 40 DCOE and header. 5spd ...

Ya , I m still learning the body work thing as well. A stud is a small stud you weld with a special welding gun and has a puller you attach to the stud . The same gun has a flat faced adapter that you use to apply heat to a specific area, to shrink the metal. Some guys use a torch to apply heat to a...

As soon as this thing is up and going , I plan on making the car known on the street .

So i stripped my trunk lid and fixed all the hand dents( shrink and stud pull as much as I could on a beer can and block the crap out of it.. I also scuffed and primed m.y fenders and lower valence. I also painted the inners on the fender. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/powerbench/Mobile%20U...

So I came into a few parts for the car and got to work doing some of the body work it needed . After the floors , I went onto the roof and the front end sheet metal. It was a good call on Tyson's part , because the car had been prepped very badly and I landed up having to rust mort the entire roof a...

So I got the car home and started dealing with my "rust free floors" and cleaning up my trunk area. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/powerbench/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpscm9syuyn.jpeg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/powerbench/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpszqjcacda.jpeg http://i30...
