We have made some progress on the car, Another beauty friend and I got after some body work on saturday. The hood, front fenders and trunk are ready for primer. Pics up as soon as they are primed. I believe Neil has some good shots of the rear, When we worked on the rear I added some more room for some adjust-ability of the lower arms.

Ok, Nolan was exactly right we busted some ass and made some good progress!

Nolan finished welding up the front end and made some killer little plates to tie it all together and seal up the firewall to the interior where the front bars ran through meanwhile I fit the dash/Fire Bottle and a few other bits then together we tackled the steering column, the original owner had the car set up with a race style column he built with an allstar quick release steering wheel hub.

I knew it would be a battle to make the race style column work with signal switches/ignition etc etc so we went back to the stock column cleaned up and then we modified the quick release coupler to go onto the stock column.... I am MUCH happier with this as not it bolts right in the dash fits better and it has all the switches we need for a STREET car

Then we moved onto prime time, with some "Direct to metal" primer we covered any of the bare steel and now we can scuff it and spray it in high build primer then start blocking it out to get it nice and straight before it gets its final stage which is base then clear coat.


We just set the panels back on to get them out of the way hence the poor alignment etc.


PICS!!!!!!
