my 69 beaumont project....continued
Before i started the 69 chevelle post project I was working on a 69 Beaumont!..it been sitting for 6 years now and time to get moving on it again. Details will be forthcoming and will not disappoint anyone! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] Heres some pics of its early years in my shop.( disclaimer ) I will be upfront...its a rebody [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] I had no choice. I replaced the entire dash top and part of the firewall as to not touch the original vin rivets..they remain intact. original trim tag will be re attached with new rivets. OK..on to the fun stuff. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...8-beaumont.jpg

Re: my 69 beaumont project....continued
Sure Albert, wreck a good survivor. J/K
Should be fun watching the metamorphosis. |
Re: my 69 beaumont project....continued
Looking good Albert, donor car for sure, no shame on that idea. Have you seen the small block 1969 Cheetahs? would be a cool idea and something different, just a thought. Steve. Hope you had a great Christmas [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/santa.gif[/img]
