Long overdue for an update...

Once again, Tim has been doing spectacular work. I couldnt be happier. Both TJ and Tim have been great to work with on every level. After the quarter panel issue came to light, my enthusiasum for the car took a huge downturn and my concern with my budget became a big issue. At that point I was pretty freaked out that my dream and my budget were both going in the toilet. Needlsess to say, I wasnt exactly the easiest customer to deal with..... Despite being a PITA and getting anal about my $$, they were complete professionals and we worked things out. These guys have helped me out immensly and I will be eternally greatful. They are not only great craftsman, but great people.

I want to whole heartedly thank both Tim and TJ...... they have seen my dream car circle the drain and my emtions go up and down about this car. As a smaller shop, they dont have the luxury of dontaing much of their time to help guys like me. They cant just throw a couple of employees at a "feel sorry for you case" like me, and still be making $$ and paying bills with other projects at the same time. When they donate their time, they arent making any $$ for the shop at all. Despite that, they are doing the new quarter panel install for free, in order to help me keep my project going in the direction I dreamed of. I cant express my gratitude enough....... Thank you

I also want to thank Mike at Musclerodz again...once again he stepped up and helped out with getting me a new quarter panel. Thank you...

So....on with the update...

The innder fenders are all done and turned out awesome......





Ron Davis radiator all mounted up...Tim re-did the front rad support and moved the mounts outward so I could get a bigger radiator in there

After much back and forth with with Rodger at Ironworks (thanks again) and Procharger, I was able to get a procharger bracket for the 6.1 HEMI, so I could make sure the inner fender design would allow a unit to fit. However it looks like the Procharger might be "off the plan" due to budget issues, but it may still happen and at least I know it will fit.



My Ricks tank...thank you Hector.....




Off with the old quarter panel.....


More stellar work by Chris.... this is the outer wheel tub to quarter flange than Chris did....part of the old flange and some new Chris made....nice work once again.... no wondet the panel wapred all to hell....

Thanks for the update Ned!! I need to head over and take a look! I'm thinking it looks a lot better than the last time I saw your car! Nice to see it moving in the right direction!
