Here is my bean when I brought her home
And in front of Daves house last year
The hood scoop is an authintic Chevelle Cowl Induction.Can you think of a better thing to do with a peice of history?
The panels came from my local salvage yard
Completly stripped
All parts firmly welded on
I cheated with the 4 to 5 lug adapters
Someone stole my mailbox so What do I do,Put up a bigger badder one to be stolen
Before paint
3 days before the show
Before and after
More,more more
My mom stiched all the interior while my dad reassembled
the back,It looks better with the T&A
Custom shifter
Bondo is your friend
Primer
And the day before the show.More to follow when she is YELLOW!!!
1) What year?
2) What motor?

Thanks.
I also noticed that you molded in your CW side panels, I mist that detail on the first viewing of this photo.
3) Now it is more obvious minus the destruction.
My wagon is the same green.
Thought I would post a pic of the boat I will matching the bean with
notice the interior?Its a 75 wagon with a 2.3.The 460 will come next year
The boat is a 72 Infinity
Hey Pintaro:
A radically sweet ride you have there! If I may ask, how did you treat your interior plastic panels? Were they painted? If so, using what type/brand of paint? My wagon panels are super faded and need restored. Thanks!

Nice boat. Your hull is very similar to my 73 Marlin Taurus. Yours looks like a 16 footer? Here is a picture of my jet. It is another one of my projects ;D
popbumper,the plastic panels were sealed and painted with regular automotive paint.you can add a flex additive but the parts arent going to be moving around anyway.
Pintaro
One more question then I won't bug you anymore ;), sealed with WHAT prior to painting? I think they look awesome, and my panels are in serious need of treatment (BADLY faded). Thanks!
Chris
popbumper,the sealer can be purchased at any auto paint store.Its the coat you put down just before you start to spray.You can also use buzz bombs to paint small parts.Just get a spray can of primer or flat white will do as a base coat to keep you from having to use so much paint to cover.Hope this is what you wanted to know
Pintaro
Hay Pintaro!
