My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
I got the fenders back from the acid dipping, and man alive, I've got my work cut out for me. They are rough, that's for sure.- 70formula

My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
What a bear this was. Pontiac intakes are much more interesting to install than a Chevy, that's for sure, but it's on there. The contrasts between nice blue and rusty and dirty got me wanting to rip the valve covers off and clean the hell out of those next.- 70formula

My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
Another few bites were taken, and I got the firewall straightened out. It will get another day with the hammer and dolly after I grind the old paint and seam sealer off to get it straighter and ready to por 15. We also got the old, rusted stock intake off, got the new manifold painted and...- 70formula

My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
PHS build sheet. I won't be putting a rust magnet, AKA vinyl top, back on, but the goal is to get it back to a beautiful atoll blue, with a 4 speed, and done to the best of my ability and circumstances allow. I am a college student, so certainly not rich, but I will try my best to do good...- 70formula

My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
This is my grandfather. He was well known here in the PNW and was the owner of Cottage Grove Auto Body, standing in front of his 58 Simca that he built from a rusted cowl and VIN tag. Every bit he did, custom frame, all the metal work, bodywork, engine work, painting, electrical work, etc...- 70formula

My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
Work starting. I stripped out the interior, obviously rotten floors. Because this is a 70, the one-piece floors are quite right; we had to do separate Driver / Passenger side floor panels, and toe boards and the rear two-piece floor brace had to be replaced.- 70formula

My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
These were the first photos I took, and the discovered that pretty much every body panel needs work. Quarters, trunk pan, floor pan, roof skin, fenders, and floorboards all needed heavy metal work. I wanted to learn to weld this car is teaching me.- 70formula

My 1970 Formula Rebuild Project
I figured I'd start a thread to document the rebuild of my 1970 formula 400 rebuild. This car came out of Georgia as a two owner's car. I had it shipped to me in Oregon, and it was bought sight unseen (I know, huge mistake) lol. I overpaid, but it's my dream model, so here we are. A...- 70formula
