WCM GN

Post by a187lbird »

I am going to post some pictures of the WCM GN Restoration I have been doing. I only have before and after photos and my wife took the after photos so they are poor quality and blurry but I assure you the car is crisp clean and shiny just like the day it left WCM originally (or at least was before driving it around a bit) All I have left to do is body work and paint as well as making some wheel wells. I may be taking more pictures tomorrow so if I do I will put those up then.

And yes I will start posting progression shots for body work, paint and the wheel wells because that's all I have left to do.

Love it! I'm currently building one just like it but with regal body, mine never had a motor bolted in it. It was just a roller that was used more for advertising by my company than running, it sat on a shelf for the past 20 years so it was in very good shape. Keep up the good work and share pics. 8)

Just a little update. Here is the design idea for the dash I am having made, I think it will come out very nice. I am having someone make me the gauge bezels and tachometer enclosure and am purchasing some sub micro toggle switches. I also have a WCM steering wheel that I will be putting on it and later I am tossing around the idea of making the gauges back lit with some LEDs.

Thanks Funky,
I am not 100% happy with how the bezels came out, you can see the split in the ring and it is more "ring" than "bezel".
But all in all it is going to look great in my car.
