At long last I'm putting up some photos of my Hatch Project. I bought it about 5 years ago semi-finished, just needed to touch up the Paint a bit, fit Motor and Gearbox + fit parts of the Interior. Little did I know! I approached a Panel Beater / Spray Painter Mate for his take on what I needed to do to finish the Bodywork and then after a rough quote and handshake deal I entrusted him to finish it off. Little did I know! Long story, short story, I "repossessed" it 4 weeks ago, after 2 years and 3 months - maybe 1/4 of Bodywork fixed and having paid way to much [ I was constantly reminded how this was a custom rebuild and quality takes time and money ]. We live and learn.
As you can see in the Photos above, alot of faults were hidden with "Bog". So we move on to the next phase - with having the "Sh.ts" with the Panel Beater, the previous Owner and Rusty Hatchbacks I bought another Car.
I imported this from the USA - 1970 Chevelle SS L34 - Genuine matching numbers 396 ci Big Block/ M21 Muncie / 3.73 Posi 12 Bolt - Rides and handles excellent and with heaps of Power - has small Hyd Cam / Holley / Extractors. Negotiations are in place for finishing the Hatch - I have too much invested in it to stop now - had new wheels made 18 months ago / transmissiom was fully rebuilt 18 months ago / new Brown Davis Drop Tank etc etc - details revealed when I am more advanced. For now, I'm a "Chevy Man".
