Well, it's not finished yet, but I got tired of working on it.

First time it's been on the street under its own power!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! That looks awesome! Great job... now you just need to post more pix for us to enjoy!

Brett!

The first day is the greatest, isn't it?
Nice job!

Two months later and I still de-bugging.

feels great, right?

Only a few more years for my first day.

Looks awesome..those wheels set it off nicely !

Shroom, that bird of yours looks sweet!!!

Thanks guys. I was pretty sweet to finally get past the end of the trailer! I still have a lot to do, but I managed 12 miles today (under the threat of rain and upper 60's temps.)

Here's another pic.

Congrats, car looks awesome! Looks pretty finished from here!

Or are you gonna change the seats to stock ones?

Enjoy!

I was more partial to 68's, but dayam, that 69 looks awesome!

Just beautiful. Congratulations.

Gorgeous!

Thanks everybody, I've been working on it almost steady for 3 years now.

Still having problems with the windows (motor for drivers door was defective when I got it.) I just started trying to clean up my top frame, still have to install it (read - buy all the parts) get a top put on, and upholster all the seats to match. Oh, and it looks like I need a new carb too.

Wouter: Actually I put those seats in. I snagged them out of a 98 Camaro (6-way power on both sides, after a few modifications.)

A few better quality pics.

Looking good!!!

Lookin great...is that solar red, or another color?

Not sure about those seats tho....IMHO...but the rest is sweet!

Sounds pretty comfy to me! Those old seats do tend to get the best of your back after a few hundred miles..

Beautifull car, congrats on the succesfull resto! Now enjoy the cruising..!

I bet that $#!+ eatin' grin is only marred by those little bugs that you still have to fix. I have to agree about the seats, those high backs don't quite look right. But I bet they're comfortable. It's good to see another '69 rollin'!

David, It's a very close match to the 69 Matador Red. It's actually a 2007 GM color, I forget the name offhand. I think it was paint code 27.

The seats will eventually be re-upholstered to match the rest of the interior.

Found out today that my brakes work pretty good! Locked up all 4 wheels in a panic stop.

Only the third time out of the garage, driving a local highway at about 50MPH when 6 wild turkeys decided to run across the road right in front of me. Scared the cr@p out of them!

Sounds like it scared the crap out of you to.

A Hershey moment.

Not quite, but this is only place a turkey belongs!
