Projects Enough monkeying around: let's build a 5w, or another 4dr bites the big one.

Indeed!

Haha, my wife and I had a lil' date yesterday, gotta have a balance of some sort ya know? Gonna try and knock out the last floor panel for the very rearmost section tonight after work. That one will take a little more screwing around to fit around the crossmember, into the tailpan, etc... I also got the rain gutters fabbed and installed around the decklid surround but forgot to take a pic... still gotta replace the sheet metal around there though. checkin' off items on the list!!

THanks man, you goin to latimore? shooting to have it there for its "debut"...

 

Floor looks great....

 

andy, you never cease to impress me bro.

I cant believe the progress you are making while actually having a functioning life!

so impressive

 

Most definitely.

Damn, you have what, four months into it so far?

 

It came home thanksgiving weekend so yea, almost 4 mos...

Finished out the floorpan this morning... gonna start on a toeboard/trans cover and hopefully a rear crossmember cover after work tomorrow. My wife has to work all day sat and sun until 7pm and I get out at noon and have sun off so I'm planning on getting all the MAJOR metalwork finished up on the body this weekend. This includes the roachy area around the decklid, all inner panels below the decklid, plug welding the rear quarters to the subrails, filling the roof, and making and fitting the driver's side doorskin. Wish me luck...

I have a little less than 2 months till the showdown... the list of major things to do yet is LONG! This doesn't even include any of the piddly little crap...

-assemble/install the quickchange
-hang the exhaust
-wiring
-throttle pedal/linkage
-glass
-mudwork/paint of some sort
-decklid hinges???
-rear framehorns/spreader bar
-ebrake installed
-AAAAGGHH!

 

Aaagghh! That is the hardest one to finish

 

Andy you the man....

 

My AAAAGGHH still.isn't finished either.

 

I got my AAAAGHHH! out of the way early today... ran out of shielding gas first thing this am, luckily my pal Joe had a fresh bottle to loan me, thanks bud!

Turned another big corner on this thing today... all major metalwork is done. Still gotta make the rear quarter supports that go in the trunk, weld up a few holes, and bump-n-grind a few areas but this puppy is just about ready for mud. The body comes off in a few days!

Started with the easy side...


a little brake and shrinker action...


bing!

 

Im glad i seen you do this,i need to do the same thing to the rumble on my Rockne...you sure make it look easy...great work Andy...

 

the hard side... ugh.


Let's just get rid of all that mess and start with a fresh hunk of 20 ga...


foldy mcfolderson...


almost...


A little shrinking and hammer and dollying...


I wish I coulda made this in one piece, but my brake is a tiny home made one that is only 20" wide...

 

Oh yea, filled the roof too.


Also patched up the lower tailpan...

Amazing how far and fast this car has came.
