So it's been awhile since I've updated on here. I have got a ton of things getting checked off my list! First I was just going to patch the passenger side quarter panel then the more I looked at it I decided to change it out completely. Amazing how you do the second one twice as fast. The amd sheet metal is really a step up from the crap that was being produced by other companies. So as far as sheet metal all I have left is some gaping on quarter to trunk and trying to get the anvil carbon hood to line up the best I can. After I got the quarter done I moved onto raising up the trans tunnel to clear the T56 and bell housing. I used the tunnel kit from B&B very nice to start with btw. A lot of in and out and trimming before I could weld in place.
And yes I got all rust cleaned and epoxy primed and weld thru primed! I don't ever want to this again.
Ok so I thought that the quarters were a bitch..... Well let's just say the exhaust was close to 40hrs of burnt hands,flash burn,2 band saw blades,15 cut off wheels and more four letter words then you can imagine. But after all that I'm pleased with the way it came out.
