1967 buick special wagon

I bought a new body control module, because I think I fried mine welding. I can't be sure, but everyone I've talked to who knows anything about newer cars says I damaged the bcm. Well I plugged in the new one and it immediately went into security lockout. Another Google search says you have to have it programed to match the car and blah blah blah. So I plugged the old one back in for now.

I did start on the passenger side, bracing the quarter panel

I bought a pair of 6mm (1/4 inch) wheel spacers to push the inner lip of the rear wheels away from the inner wheel tub just a little more so I would feel comfortable hiring hard bumps without damaging the tire or rim. Now I can slip my fingers between each side of the wheel and the fenders easily.

I welded the passenger wheel well tub back in place and am using this 1.25 inch bed frame rail section to repair the lower window channel

I finally finished the passenger rear wheel tub. I still have to finish the seam sealer and the sound deadener on the top side, but I'm glad the hardest part is done.

I replaced the dying starter. Then I found a guy across town parting out a 1967 gs 400. I bought the hood and front bumper. He also had a 67 chevelle front bumper that I plan to cut up and use to dress up the front air dam

I've been messing with the 67 chevelle bumper. I cut out the bottom section and flipped it over to see what it would look like on the car. Then I clamped the ends together on the spare bumper. It's definitely not as pointed as the first version, but I'm also not hating it. I'm going to try to build some kind of jig to mount the spare bumper to so I can build it on the stand and then transfer it to the car.

I cut the bottom of the chevelle bumper to contour the buick bumper. Then I pie cut the center so I could bend it until the ends touched. There's still some tweaking to do before I weld it to the air dam, but your can see what its going to look like. I'm beyond ecstatic on how it's turning out!
