Guess it’s almost time for the yearly update! I will say that I have had lots of time in the garage thanks to the shutdown and stay at home order. I sincerely hope everyone in this community is safe and healthy.
Late last summer progress slowed. It was too hot and then quickly too cold in the garage to be productive. But we are back to progressing forward.
UCA mounts are on
Floor is cut out and inner rockers were replaced with 3x3 tube
Body and chassis are tacked together square and level
Started refitting sheet metal - and I must say it fits like garbage.
Bumper mount is designed and laser cut plates are on order
Any suggestions on modifications / perfecting fit on these panels would be much appreciated. I am not afraid of the work / hours - just don’t want to put in a bunch of hours and then screw it up. I am tempted to drop stupid money on original fenders at this point. I feel like the fender is really high near the rear corner at the hood margin. I also seem to have a huge gap at the top of the quarter to doors and no gap at the bottom. Both sides are like this. Not sure if the issue is the door or the quarter. The margin from door to rocker is pretty level.
I will say I took way too much metal off the car to start rather than replacing one panel at a time. Maybe next time I do this I will know better!
On to some pictures.
