I purchased this car approximately 2 years ago. I ended up doing all the mechanicals over, engine and trans swap, added power disc brakes, power steering etc. I also re-did all the body and paint work, and the Interior. I basically re-did everything from front to back, top to bottom on this car. It was a ton of time consuming work and wasn't cheap, but I think it paid off in the end. This wasn't the first car I've restored and probably won't be the last...

That's good. I guess I better get started on making copies. I'll let you know when I have them ready.

Thanks-

Yeah I mean I would be interested in them and i'm sure alot of other people would be to. Templates save alot of time and usually alot of money too. It would be alot easier than having to get someone to custom build it.

Hey,

Thanks for the compliments, really appreciate it! When I did the trunk I made some templates out of cardboard which I was thinking of making duplicates of and selling them on ebay for guys with 66 and 67 chevelles...what do you think? would it be something you'd think people would be interested in? I looked all over the web for something like that before I started the trunk, but couldn't find anything. The templates would be a real time saver.

Thanks, Bob
