thats about it for now. not bad for 4 half days of work.

I'll say, Looks like fun.

Lookin good! Who did you purchase your rocker parts from?

Looks like fun I'm glad I don't have as much metal to change as you do. I would also get some bracing in there to keep it from moving.

there is a place in dayton, ohio called resto world that had it all in stock. its an hour drive from my house so i saved alot on shipping.

had the car a week now, heres how its going.

Nice project. You have some nice parts there, and making some nice progress.

AWESOME! Nice work.

Very cool. Keep us posted on your progress.:thumbsup:

started the mini tubs and found more rust than i thought so i cut out the trunk only to find who ever did the rear 1/4's and outer wheel tubs did a crappy job so i'm going to replace the entire rear of the car so that i'm happy with it insted of repairing someone elses crap job. getting the parts next weekend so in the mean time i did he dash swap.
