I bought this car in 1986 and have been working on it hit and miss over the last 25 years. Mostly miss. Its a 6pk, 4sp airgrabber car.

nice rotisserie, you're just a little ahead of me. this spring my 70 gtx gets blasted. I'm makig my own rotisserie for half what they want.
 
Sooo much easier on a rotisserie! Keep on work'n on her!
 
Better slow than no, 70 GTX rock!
 
I'm not able to upload any pictures to this site today. I don't have many but i did take a few with bare quarters.
 
Sounds like one nice project, Usually time makes a better car when its done. Good luck to you on it!
 
This is a picture of my drivetrain donor car. It was so rusty the back glass fell in! It is a 440, 4sp, console, dana 60 and airgrabber. Crushed it years ago. Wish i still had it! Oh, and it had drum brakes and manual steering.

440jimr,
This is the only one i could find. I never took a lot of pictures until i got a digital camera. I fixed the usual rust on the lower quarters. Other than that, its rust free.

Nice! Glad I'm not the only one that works projects long-term! I'm on the clock since '99 on both of mine! :(
 
We could have used someone with your expertise here over the years Donny!
 
Iv had my 70 Bee since 1989. I have worked on it time & time again,but I finally parked & disassembled it a few years ago. I have had 3 back surgeries & 1 neck surgery slow me down but in a way it forced me to have more patience. Im finally getting a good bit done & since there is a lot more reproduction parts today I am glad it has taken me this long. Now Im beginning to wonder how to fill my time once its finished.
