Default my 70 Judge update

Thought I would post some pics of my 70 Judge I bought this summer .
I originally did not plan to do much to the car but it had a 80,s repaint that looked good from 20' but up close was showing some bodywork sins. I decided last month to redo it and put the correct color stripes back on it. The original owner went with a different color judge stripe when it was repainted in the 80,s.
So far the body has been pretty decent except for the usual bottom of fender rust. The drivers side quarter was replaced with a nos gm panal when the car was repainted. Its still really nice after i stripped the paint off. I had to put a small replacement section over the the passenger side quarter wheel well . Hopefully will have the body ready for paint in another month or so. will try to post more pics as I make progress on it


Heres the original post when I bought the car this summer

Default 70 Judge restoration

Making a little more progress on the 70.
Have all the panels in epoxy / high build primer. Hopefully will be putting body on rotisserie in next week or so then I can refinish the underside/floors.
Will try to update then.

Thanks guys.. Most of the sheetmetal was pretty nice with the exception of usual lower corner fenders rust. Also had to replace a section over the passenger side wheel well. Floors are really solid with the exception of one small area on drivers side front floor. Hopefully will make some more progress in the next couple weeks.

Looking good! That color reminds me of the old lacquer primer that I'm familiar with using back in the day. Easy to work with but didn't hold up.

Thought i would update the progress on the 70
I did not get as much done since last update as I expected . I spent a lot of time mocking up all the bolt on sheetmetal and endura bumper. I got the body on the rotisserie now and will be taking it this week to have the floors and firewall media blasted. Then I have a couple small areas of rust on the front drivers floor and left wheelhouse/ trunk floor seam that will need replaced.

Don't lose that body line on the endura - that point continues out on to it.

Yea I didn't realize that body line was that sharp on the endura. I'll have to address that before final sand and paint

Got the floors and firewall media blasted and in epoxy primer.
Need to repair some small areas on trunk floor/wheelhouse area and front driver floor section. Still not too bad for a Pa. car.
Body will just need some final blocking etc then hopefully get some color on it.

When do you think your car will be totally finished? I can't wait to see the final result!

I wish I knew the answer to that question! Lol
I only get to work on it on some weekends and weeknights. Always something else to work on in shop or around house slows progress it seems. I would love to have it done this summer sometime but not going to rush it and compromise quality of resto.
I have all the seats redone and mostly everything bought to assemble car/frame etc.
My engine builder has all the machine work done and will start assembly in the next week or two. Just trying to have everything ready so I'm not waiting on certain things once I'm ready to reassemble car.
I keep asking myself why I went in so deep on this car but hopefully the end result will make it worth it.

Default progress update

I have not posted in a while and thought I would update progress. I have all the repairs made to the couple areas on the floors and truck floor. The body shell and most body parts are final sanded and ready for paint. I decided to go ahead and restore the frame/ suspension parts before i paint the body. I figured that way when body is painted I can lower back on restored chassis rather than having a painted body and parts sitting around .
Also i needed to put the frame on a frame bench to fix a small buckle in rear frame rail. Buckle came out really good and everything measures out perfect now. Previous owner told me car either got hit or backed into something in early 80,s . Whoever fixed it back then never took the time to straighten . It made it much easier to take care of this with the body off thou.
Having the frame / suspension pieces media blasted this week then hopefully get them painted and ready to reassemble.
