Im gettin ansy for an update!

 

this is the first thread i have subscribed to beautiful work can't wait for an update

 

First of all, Thanx so much for all the great comments, I'm very grateful... Thank you!!

Sorry i took so long for an update ,I got kinda burnt on body work and i was waiting for my replacement plasma torch, which came 2 months after i called the supplier so i could work on the floor and frme.... but here is a little bit of where I'm at!!
Finished the tail lights , but unfortunately i messed up the half decent ones i had for mock up...... You know??? .... Ever thrown things cause you're pissed off?!?!?!? Fixed some minor body dents, Figured out the speedo and other dash related stuff, fixed the holes in the bumpers, reattached the frame after raising the kick 3 inches, built the subfloor and started on the floors too, i should get the bags any day now so i can mount them, and i should have the Motor and transmission in by the end of the week so i can finish the toe boards and transmission tunnel.





For those wondering about all the rust....... The frame ( powdercoating too ) and body are both getting blasted after the suspension is finished, it was easier for me to leave the car perfectly square after i cut out the floor then start from scratch after blasting. Cleaned out as much as i could on the inside rockers, but it's so low, it's very difficult.... And the bracing!!!!!

 

Update on friday...... Can't wait to drop the motor and transmission in tomorrow !!

 

man beautiful work i really appreciate all the pictures it helps keep me motivated

 

Right on man!!! That's what it's all about....... Motivation!!


Thank you!
