Wow what a difference from when you got it. I would be PISSED if I found out that I had to redo my whole entire car I thought was in decent shape.
Yeah, the guys are making pretty good progress. I'm hoping that I'll be driving it later this summer. Actually, I think it would be a pretty cool daily driver. I am having the rear seats set up for car seats, so I will test it out. Funny- I don't worry about door dings in the e550, but I'm kinda a freak about my fun cars. Go figure.
It's coming along nicely Rob! Good for you. That's going to be a nice looking hot rod.
Thanks Greg! We're pretty excited about this car. The girls will have a blast going out in it.
The guys at CAR have my other hotrod. When I dropped it off, I was totally excited about the new rear end (swapping the 3:45s for 3:75s) and the rear free action link kit. After they took it for a testdrive, Kevin made a comment about the clutch and how he frogged the car. I knew the clutch was a bit of an on/off switch, but wasn't sure what to do about it. Kevin did some measurements and the clutch ratio is around 2:1. He's fixing it for me and should be close to 6:1 by next weekend. Now that has me excited!
Well, the guys got the engine/trans bolted into the subframe. We still need to bolt on the headers, bolt in the steering box/column, brake booster and inner fenders to check on clearances. I'm just glad to see more progress. Still hoping for a late summer completion, but I'm thinking early winter.

Head on, looks pretty cool
Just so I can see it was starting to look like a car again, he hung the fender.
