Ugh... does that make you wonder just what exactly is under the paint as well?

Fortunately it has new quarters which are installed nicely. The fenders look great as well. I haven't looked too closely at the doors but I am hoping they did that part of it right... the goal was not to do body work so lets hope it stays like that.

Progress continues. We worked some on the factory subframe and reparing it. We are blue printing hole locations and straightening up factory a-arm mounting holes and making sure our a-arms pivot freely. We are repairing the body mount holes and will offer that as a kit sometime soon. We will strip the frame and grind out all factory welds and reweld the frame. Lastly we removed the factory shock mounts and cut an opening large enough for a shock and 2-1/2" spring. With our newer a-arms you will be able to run a 7" stroke shock mounted bearing to bearing. This will be a cool kit as well and coming soon.

On the body, we are mocking up the front floor pans. Also removing the rear inner wheel wells. We prepped a few plates for the cage to sit on as well.

Looks like a nice set up and bummer on the cars condition.

Cool car, I'll be watching this.

The guys are starting to build the back half for the car and removing the inner and outer wheel wells. We will maintain all the stock mounting points, such as leaf springs ect.

Some work on the factory front subframe.

We used our new frame repair kit #2662 and repaired the body mounts on the factory subframe. We are also mocking up our new a-arms and aligning the shock locations. Lastly, we are repairing the factory a-arm mounts to make sure they are true. One side was a full 1/2" off binding the a-arms drastically.

The front subframe is in the weld shop. We have repaired all the body mounts and blue printed the a-arm mounts to make sure they are perfectly inline and at the same location side to side. We are grinding out all the old factory welds and completely welding the front subframe and preparing it for powder coat.

We also continue to work on the new frame rails and mounts for the cage.

We are now finishing up the shock extension kit. The kit is turning out really good and will be available shortly, the shop is just starting to laser cut production pieces.
