Very good job on the tubs. I like how clean your closeouts transition into the existing structure.

this is almost exactly how my bird looked when I started and its still not back together-my body man bailed in the home stretch. You are a brave man! going that deep into a car, it makes me glad I live in the south (a lot less rot) I am also thinking I need to see more of these builds to motivate me further. Good luck with your build and keep us posted

Really good work...lots of people would get into this half way thru the tear down and run. Good to see someone tenacious enough to stare that much rust in the face and not even see it as an issue because they see the finished product. It looks like you definitely can do it. Got to love the birds. Hope you go with pontiac drive train....I regret not doing that.

I definitely not go with the poncho drivetrain, to expensive to make the power I want and way too heavy.
On a other side I saw your bird tread and I love the rear bumper, I will probably do the same on mine if it not bother you but my skill with fabrication is not good as yours so im not sure about the result

You can see how I did it in early posts..not too hard. Won't bother me...looks cool. IMHO

the car is for sale for some personnal reasons but I will update it till I sold it.

So this is my doors gaps after some hamering and positionning but without cutting. Pretty happy with the result
