How long did it take to upgrade to the newer door latches?

I would assume beyond the obvious visual improvement the doors are probably much nicer (less resistance and quieter) to close. Is that accurate?

They are pretty easy to close yes. I don't have any weather striping yet and the doors are empty so they sound tinnie. I think that will go away once it's all finial assembled.

We started the body work on the firewall, it need a skim coat and sanded then it's ready for primer then work will start on the bottom side of the floor.

Modified the slot in the bottom of the factory frame rail to put my corvette frame pucks in so I don't chip the paint on a lift.

Tig welded a 1/4" round rod frame then welded it into the trans tunnel to stiffen the hole.

Fabed up a new passenger side fender mount out of 3 pieces of 16g steel. Not bad for a body hammer and a body dolly.

Very Nice work!

Great idea on the frame pucks. I thought about that one too...:thumbsup:

while it doesn't appear that there is a lot done (at least to me anyways) i have been doing a lot on the car that i am just not going to show until the car is done as some of it might make it into a production run.

machined some bulkheads for the passenger side brake line and the driver side brake, fuel and return lines.

then finished the fuel lines back to the fuel cooler and trunk bulk heads and the brake lines.

the rear sections of fuel lines are covered in heat tape then cloth heat shrink.
