Re: Chappy's Garage 510 project

Been busy with other stuff over the last few weeks but last weekend I finally got a chance to get back out into the shop to continue my 510 project. I decided it was time to tackle that big rust hole just below the rear window. End result is a bit of an ugly hack but I think it is close enough that ...

Re: Chappy's Garage 510 project

I'm enjoying this. Do like a youtube restoration. Keep it up. Thanks, yes I plan on shooting video for the full project. Been busy at work lately so have not gotten back to it in a couple weeks but hopefully in a week or two I will get to work on that big rusty area between the rear window and the ...

I needed to fabricate a major portion of it. I already had a sheet metal brake so I bought a shrinker/stretche...

Re: Chappy's Garage 510 project

As you could see from the initial overview video there are some pretty serious rust holes in this car. Some repair panels are available for the 510 but not a lot and they tend to be pricy (which makes sense since these are not exactly high sales volume items!). I have seen how to fabricate most of t...

Chappy's Garage 510 project

For years I have been wanting to build a fun street/race car but never really had the shop space to dedicate to it. Last year my wife and I finally decided it was time to build our dream house which of course meant I could build my dream shop. We moved in back in January and I started considering wh...

Re: Building a 510 hillclimb racer

Thanks, yes I will be posting pics but more importantly I am shooting video of the process and posting on youtube.

Going to start a thread on this in the "General Discussion" area.

Building a 510 hillclimb racer

Hi all, new member from New Hampshire here. I am working on a 1971 510 with the intention of building a fun street car that I can also do some hillclimb racing with. I am starting with a rather rusty rough car.... I am sure many would tell me it is beyond saving but I welcome the challenge! I am by ...
