Here's a thread for my 67. First post is just pics. It has some cheezy aspects to the interior, but it's still a fun ride.













Some things that need to be done right away:
New steering gear (box)
Exhaust all the way out the back instead of dumping in front of the rear axle
New steering column (want tilt wheel). The existing column has shot bearings.
Get that Demon carb tuned right. I have tried and tried and it still idles rich and hesitates on takeoff.

Well, we got one side of the exhaust done (driver side) and then noticed the fuel pump and regulator are in the way on the passenger side. If you are looking from the back toward the front of the car, these are on the trunk cavity on the far right (passenger).



I will have to center them to finish the passenger side.

For now I'm a little uneven. LOL! But, the noise level in the car is already a whole lot better.

Ok, I must say I'm a fan of the rally stripes. Though I'm more in the "stock" camp, stripes on a bird looks kinda cool.

The stripes aren't bad at all. nice work tho but I too am more a purest!

This is definately not a purist car. That is part of the reason my father sold it to me. I was looking to buy something fun, and he wasn't completely happy with this car not being a pure car.

He ended up with this car when a friend of his ran out of money building it. He did a few things here and there trying to get the appearance back to stock, but got frustrated when he discovered how much it was going to take. He turned 69 this year and doesn't have the patience he used to on big car projects.

He has two other cars that are entirely stock or upgraded stock, a '58 Impala and a '57 Thunderbird. I don't have a picture of the Thunderbird, but it's 100% stock. The '58 is all stock or upgraded stock, for example it has a 700R4 instead of the Powerglide, and the 348 (with 3 deuces) has been upgraded with a bigger cam, the hydraulic assist power steering has been replaced with a modern power box, it has disc brakes, etc.

@RobbieH...What are the seats in your 1967 from? Do they fit without any adjustments?

NEVER even thought of the Z type stripes on a bird but... And I hate to admit this ... kinda diggin them!!!

Seats look like they are out of a second gen f-body that were recovered.

I had the same seats in my coupe the 1st time I restored the car.
They came out of a 2nd gen Camaro. They fit easily except you need to mod the rear bolt connections to the floor as they go past the 68 bolt holes. I machined a steel plate that bolted to existing seat plate bolt hole and the another I had to bolt to rear floor pan. Very comfortable! Try to look past the cheesy seat covers and door panels.
