Thanks for the compliments. I'll post up some progress pics this week. I finally got the driver quarter panel sitting right. When I first popped it on, it sat about 1/2" higher than the door. I ended up cutting at the bottom edge to get it lower. The passenger quarter went right on with no issues. I should have the roof fitted by this weekend. Then it's fenders and making sure all the gaps are good before I weld it together.

Thanks,it's getting there. Here are some more pictures. I had a hard time getting the driver side quarter to line up, but I finally beat it into submission I'm trying to decide wheter I should weld everything up or mount the subframe and fenders before permanently attaching everything. Any thoughts?

Picked up my stuff from Summit Racing; it's nice having them so close



Driver quarter











I picked up this subframe; already been converted to disc, new bushings, steering, etc.. Just needs some powdercoat and a good cleaning.



Nine inch rear; basically got it for free

Thanks, the subframe was completely gone through and has had everything replaced. It was installed in the car, then taken out (owner decided to slide an 86 Corvette under a 67 Camaro) . It basically had 0 miles on the whole deal, but the guy left it outside for awhile which is why it's a little rough. I'm pretty happy with it, I got the whole thing for about what I would have paid for just the brake kit

It sure helps to get a deal like that once in a while. Their few and far between.

Thanks Now I just need to figure out if I should weld this thing together or wait until I bolt up the subframe and front fenders.
