Thanks .... almost done with one side!

I did not ask for a ride (didn't want to seem like a stalker) I drooled over the car and took a bunch of pictures .... mostly your subframe, and took some video of the runs. Maybe next year if he remembers me :grouphug:

Eureka!!!!!!
 

THIS IS THE COLOR for my car .... check out this Mercedes matte color!

It's exactly what I've pictured in my little pee brain :lostmarbles: little black here and there (hood maybe) and she'll be NICE!

This ain't your Grandma's car by the way .... gold is ok!

That could work Chief! I like the suggestion of some black stripes or accents. I think that would look very nostalgic and still have a bad ass modern muscle feel to it.:gitrdun:

It could kind of be a new twist on the Smokey Yunick theme.

Been reworking the flanges on the mini tubs .... I didn't like the idea of clamping the tub over to the inside to make up the gap (close to 5/16") and then welding the tub under tension. So I flattened the flange, re-drew and made the flange where I needed it to be .... now I have a tub that is 2.75" through out the arc of the tub.

Take a look at the drivers side that has been reworked and re-flanged to make up the gap .... AND the flange is nice and crisp @ 90 w/o that 3/8 roll that came with the tub. Killed two birds with one body hammer and dolly :thumbsup:

The black sharpie line was the old flange line ... moved it over a bit!

That's how they should be stamped!

The sharper bend will close that gap between the inner and outer wheel house and look way better w/o 1/2" seam sealer .... yes?

Getting there ..... little more hammer and dolly work and then the welder comes out :headspin:

Thanks for looking .....

:thumbsup: Thanks .... needs black fer sure. Thinking CHC 68 Project Redemption layout w/ that Desert Gold and black! I'll have to ask Chris' permission.

See above post for image!

Nice work Chief, yup that will look much better without the thick seam sealer!!

:thankyou: Haven't work on her cuz my boys came out for a visit, one went home and the youngest stayed an extra week .... that's ok!

I'll get back on her this week .....:popcorn2:

You really don't have to rub it into my face with those fancy new minitub flanges:mad:

Just kidding, I wanted to do that as well, but just didn't want to take the time to accomplish it. They look great!

Any chance your car is a factory a/c car? Mine isn't and I am installing the Vintage Air kit. I don't like the VA dash vents, so I want to go with the original style vent. They have an odd shaped hole and I'm having a difficult time marking out my dash to cut that hole.

Jeremy .... sorry, mine is not an A/C car. Just got in off the road or I would have checked this sooner, hope someone has chimed in on your thread and helped out.

I wasn't rubbing in the flange :sarcasm_smiley:
