Yea I think the only way to make a choice is to mock up both. Got most of metal work in trunk done tonight. Boy it's real easy to flip thru builds on this site and go "I can just cut and weld that just like they did" wrong! I have huge respect for the guys that do this everyday. So here are some updates I got the fuel tank plumbing and the II much fuel installed. I Was very excited about using the stock 3/8" fuel line to work with a little bending here and there.
Also made a filler piece inside the shock mount to get it sealed up. I know the welds are not the prettiest but they are strong. Tuff to weld upside down! Lol
Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm trying to do most of the work on this car myself instead of paying a shop like my last project (that I never finished). I have also convinced my wife on letting me buy more tools with all the money being saved . The whole point of this project was to spend time with my teenage boys before they are gone off to college. You guys out there with small kids enjoy this time with them... they grow up fast. Ok enough with the sob stuff back to the car crap.
So I got a ton of work done on the car this weekend and took full advantage of some of the black Friday bs. Ordered DSE subframe from Billy @ B&B and the front wheels as well. I will post up some more pictures in a bit. hope everyone had a great turkey day!

Did you make that square bracket and cover yourself or was that a purchased piece?
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.
