Gaps look good. Repo's take a lot of work to get the gaps like NOS

thanks Jay,I really like the car you built for wife and love the Rushforths

Nice updates. Good to see you back at it.

Very nice build, can't believe I had missed it. Are you doing all the work, " great work "

Great build, can't wait to see it painted!

Thanks,gotta get some pics up soon,just cut both quarters and tailpan off to replace with a couple N.O.S. quarters and RS rear body pan,could not get satisfied with the other brand sheet metal,probably just been to picking.

WOW! That core support and front cap alignment is looking spectacular! I need someone like you over in my garage helping me get my front cap aligned. To the death of me, I sure can't get it right!

Looks awesome. Not sure why but I love this stage of the build.

Keep it up man!

Thanks guys body gaps are a hard thing to get right,sure takes a lot of patience.This stage is a lot more fun because once your finished cleaning all of the time kind of sucks.

Just picked up a couple of GM quarter panels,I know its alot of money but I will definitely do it again on next car I build after this one.Big difference in fit and gaps without much work,if I was a good welder like alot of fabricators on this site I would have reworked what I had,but unfornutely I am not a great welder and dont have a tig welder.Making progress still waiting for roof skin but got quarters and tail panel on and primed with very little work on gaps,really happy so far.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psa8707085.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psf1d630cf.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6bd2213e.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps056802f1.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psde244168.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7aa8dae3.jpg

Looks like $ well spent Jeff. Nice work man!

looking good:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nothing like using original... Looking nice!!

thanks guys,GM quarters and fenders have really helped

You did an awesome job, those gaps look great. I hope I get mine that close.

thanks Wayne I am sure you will do a great job on yours

No need to justify to anyone why you spent what you did on your car. We all share in this hobby alike and we all spend lots of money. :G-Dub: There's no difference in spending alot on GM quarters than the next man spending $8k on wheels or $20k on a LS9. It's only worth what you're willing to pay. Great parts by the way. :thumbsup:

That looks really good. Good job. Working with great products make the job a lot easier.

Thanks guys,I am thankful for aftermarket parts but I just had a few from a bad batch maybe?I am going to buy another set of quarters and fenders to have for later on next car.I did get an aftermarket rear taillight panel that was extremely nice and stamped with very crisp lines and straight as can be.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5634ccac.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7aa8dae3.jpg

Looks really good man, I would as much original parts as I could if I were to do it all over again. Pretty much every aftermarket part fit like crap.

thanks Ryan,like I said I am thankful for aftermarket parts but originals make the job alot easier

Finally making some good progress,got new roof on and all bodywork finished.Got the final block sanding from doors back and sealed.Made a mount for throttle pedal assembly,next job take apart and back on rotisserie to start painting underneath and underhoodhttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7abf5305.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3e221960.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psa8bd6d44.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps26bf9625.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psca550cac.jpg

Looks good. Doing all this in your garage? Keep up the great work man!

Looking great, first class work.

Greg

that thing is looking sweet. congrats
I wish i was at that stage with mine

thanks Frank your car will be there very soon with great quality work done on it
thanks Greg,how is your car coming?

thanks Greg,how is your car coming?[/QUOTE]

It should be out of paint soon, Im just too lazy to start a build thread.

Greg

Greg we really like pics and new projects,it wont take long

It looks great all together, nice work.

thanks Wayne,are you making any progress?

wow.....just saw this one for the first time. Nice project! very nice quality. When do you think it will be painted?-Chris

Thanks Chris,really satisfied so far.I hope in two weeks on my next break from work get it back on rotisserie to paint bottom side and firewall and start back together and hopefully paint in a few months.

At a stand still right now but getting close to going back in the garage soon.

Car looks great, not sure how I missed this one. What did you end up going with for headers?

Thanks Jeremy went with Hookers in DSE sub with 1.5" setback motor mounts,works great.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...9/P1000640.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...9/P1000574.jpgthis is on the last car I had I also used the Hookers on stock sub with 1.5" setback motor mounts and they work great and F body oil pan clears.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...bbed69/030.jpg

what crossmember did you use on the dse subframe?

I used the crossmember from Keisler Engineering,ran the TKO 600 in the last 3 cars I built and bought entire kit from them,very nice product,crossmember is cut out nicely for exhaust.I dont know if this pic will help,if not let me know I can get better pics for you.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...9/P1000639.jpg

Looks like you have it down to a fun science Jeff. :cool:

thanks Skip,really enjoy doing this kind of work
