82 vette starting to look like a whole car again
 

After a lot of time fabricating nearly everything from scratch this thing is starting to look like a car again. I still have to take everything apart again to final weld some stuff and have the frame and parts powdercoated. Also still have to do the front & rear sway bars but after that I can finally start assembling it. Sure took a lot more time than I thought and with time the mods became more involving and extreme.
Right now about the only stock aprts left are the 2 windshields. The rest is either home made, modified or aftermarket stuff. I don't think I can find anything else to modify. Still need to cleco on the front fender flares, It kind of looks ratty and rusty but that will all change.

Rear fuel filler cap, still have to rework the fiberglass. I just fabricated an alu adapter panel for the smaller sized cap, on the back there's a funnel w/ a hose running to the fuel cell filler valve.

Got a little friend for the 82, a 77. Needs some engine work and those sidepipes are gonna go. Bumpers are not fully mounted, that's why it doesn't line up on the sides. I think I did pretty good :)
