Thanks Wayne, I'm trying to get er ready for transport .... see below!!



A little of this and that ... got the passenger side hub painted and both rotors coated in zinc. Figured I might as well jump in both feet first so I did the lower valence, came out ok, take a look ...







I will finish the driver's side tomorrow and do some more wrapping, not sure I'm ready for a quarter panel yet but what the hey ... it's gotta be done!

Thanks for looking ...

Thanks guys, the vinyl wrap is not as easy to apply as You-tube posts but definitely doable if you take your time, the junction of different planes is what messes me up ... oh well some wrinkles you can't see when it's bolted to the car!!!


I finished bolting everything on the sub .... torqued and ready for install! I bought some Caswell black oxide finish for all my hardware so all is black and won't rust! Just did the sub to body bolts so tomorrow I'll get the sub frame under the car!

Oh yeah, my OCD kicked in again on the hood ... last time I told myself! Just epoxy and wrap it ...











Thanks for looking ...

Cool

Working on the rear brakes ... hoping my wheels will come in soon so I can get a tire mounted and have a roller!

Had to modify/ clearance the Ford bearing end flange to get the brakes in the front AND pull cables in front, but it came out great ... all torqued and ready for wheels!



Need to align with rear suspension pick up points ... but it getting there!

Passenger side all set!

Had to break out the Makita high speed and clearance the flange for the bolt!

Ready for tires now ....


Thanks for looking ...
