Well it's been a crazy week of bodywork and fighting the car... After media blasting the front fenders Sunday we found that they were trash... Between the driver's side being hit in the past and the warps put in before us I had to find replacements. Got lucky and within 8 hours of getting the word out we secured a set of NOS 71 fenders in Illinois! So that makes things a little easier...
Shop employees have doubled in the last couple of days! We have now gone from 3 to 7!! A few body guys from the local shops have stepped up to help out! Josh is my body and paint guy. You will never here me say I can do bodywork. I can fabricate, weld, and do anything else, but bodywork hates me and I hate it! LOL I just had to get some help for Josh, now we won't be two weeks out on paint but sometime in the next week!
This is my first SEMA car so I'm making it perfect! WE have been so anal about every little defect and detail on the body... It's taking time, but its time well spent!!
All the brake lines and fuel lines are installed as well as the new tank and RobbMc sending unit. Ready to drop the motor and tranny in on Thursday when the 440 gets here!!
Here's some more pics from Jim @ AutoRad of the core support! WOW!! Just WOW!!!
