Well heres my 1970 2 door acadian with 1969 taillights. 377 sbc powered full cage street strip car.built by myself took 4 months to build start to finish.missed out on racing by 1 day. then took 2 more months the following year to iron out the details.
started out back in 2005 as having this 1969 4 door accadian.400 sbc never made it to the track. like who wants a 4 door? so i kept looking for a 2 door
Then i found it.when i bought the car for 80.00 from a co workers friend. there wasnt much left the rust haddent gotten to. no floor, leaf springs rotted through the trunk,front fenders were gone,rear quarters were rusted 4 -5 inches up. subframe had holes through it.....everyone said it was to much work.lol
so heres some rust i cut out.dont need any of that
heres what the inside looked like after i cut out the trunk and started on the rear quarters.
i added 4 inches into them so the 33 inch tires had room to breath.
this is when i started welding in the rear frame section.
heres me doing some welding to the cage, for some reason i think this is a cool picture.
the cage epoxy primered
