We do! You can get one through Rusty. For more details check out this link: http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/rack.html and be sure to check out the 'Downloads' section too.

The owner wanted the car assembled so the stainless exhaust could be designed to fit around the Total Control Products rear suspension and subframe connectors in case anything had to be modified before paint.

Sorry I have forgotten to update.

Brian cut the holes for the speaker and light in the door and lined up the trim





We removed the engine and transmission

Lookin' good, Rusty!

A few new problems. Brian is test fitting the windshield molding and of course they don't fit.



The next problem is the brackets for the fold down rear seat are welded in the wrong location on the wheelhouse



This is how it should be mounted



It is mounted to high



This is the opposite side

[GPR]

Brian had to cut and modify the windshield pillar to get the molding to fit



He finished welding



Welds ground



Brushed a little epoxy to keep if from getting any surface rust

[GPR]

After a lot of test fitting the seat brackets are welded in place



The fold down rear seat must have been in and out of there at least 6 times but it now fits and goes down without hitting the interior trim panels



The suspension was removed so the body can go on the rotisserie to finish the undercarriage.
