1967 buick special wagon

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!

I cleaned up and dialed in the fitment of the bumper to the air dam. I ground the air dam to bare metal where I tack welded it in place. Now that it's attached, I'll remove the air dam and I'll fill in the gaps on the work bench.

With the front and rear of the wagon looking so aggressive, the sides between the tires look so skinny. So I flipped the bracket that mounts the side skirt, spaced it out with 1.5 x 3 inch rectangular steel spacers and pushed the skirts out 5 inches in total.
