Correct! And overpriced I might add.

Looks like a great car, but you need to invest in a digital camera.

Got the car stripped down to nothing. Cut out the inner fender wells, rear lower vent scoops, side exhaust holes through the rocker panels, and welded in a brake vent tube. Then I sent off to the media blaster on April 10th, 2006. Supposedly done in 3-5 days.

Got it back from the media blaster on May 9th. Nothing but virgin metal:

After much thought, I decided to go ahead and epoxy primer everything. No sense in having to remove all the rust again. Plus I feel like I have gotten somewhere

I removed these old floor supports and torque boxes:

Fabbed up some frame extensions:

And covered them with new floor supports:

I replaced the old torque boxes with new ones:

Eating those words now...

Heck of a project! What have you been doing with the rest of your life the past year?

WOW...

Thanks Roger!

I own an Income Tax business like H&R. I have 8 offices. Timed the car to go to the body shop while I had to work. It worked out perfect. Got it back April 20th. A month later and the engine is in.

Hoping to have it on the road in less than 30 days. Anybody know of any good meets/runs to attend? How about the Power Tour? I think it starts before I will be totally finished.

SIMPLY AWESOME! You have done a great job on this build. I'm sure you will enjoy every minute you drive this car, knowing you did 90% of the work. UP may be calling you for some advice
