Trey I was wondering since you had that big piece of sheet meatal in one pic, how come toy just did not take whole low section out and weld in that other piece? Nice looking car though!

I don't know, guess I just wasn't thinking at the time. I could have replaced the whole right side in one swoop instead of multiple pieces. I can't wait to get my wheels in though, going with Rushforth Livewires in 18's.

Got the spoiler on today, looks great!! The bodywork should be done Wednesday, just paying my friend so it will be done before boss gets back.

Also just put in the order for my wheels, can't wait! 18's all around. God I hope I don't regret not going with 17's in the front..

You won't as long as you ordered the right backspacing. A 235/40 fits on the front with no problems.

The bodywork is pretty close to being finished. Found some rust at the bottom where the door and quarter is and also a pin hole around the back window. The car looks like hell in the pics but the bondo is very thin and not caked on since the body was really clean. Only old bondo was on the fender where it meets the door and a few other random places like the sail panel. We painted a cool blue today but I think it's going to look too "ghetto" with the big wheels and what not.

It won't look " Ghetto " if you lower the car and get the stance right.

Bodywork done but the damn transmission went out today.. Hopefully it's a quick fix so I can still get it painted next week.

My car was dusty and parked overnight in a big parking lot a long time ago, I come out to my car in the morning to find shoe prints from the front of the hood all the way across my roof to my trunk and back.... no damage but still, who the hell just walks on a car??

Finally got the car back yesterday. A couple gears exploded and the fluid looked like silver spray paint with all the metal. He said the torque converter went bad throwing metal every where and destroying the pump. The car also had 6 cylinder internals and there was no way in hell it was ever rebuilt.

The car drives great now and the steering is awesome since he tightened up some of the front end components.. Maybe next week it will be painted.

Any hints on what wheels you ordered or did you say that somewhere else in the thread?
