You've been busy (disregard the first half of my email!) Looks great, I may have to start working on cleaning up the suspension parts. You won't be much longer at that rate and I haven't even started getting ready for a rolling chassis.



Yeah, get to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

My welder broke last weekend so I haven't made as much progress as I would have liked. I got a new welder am back in business. I received a package this week from Restoration Design so I was able to get some work done today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Got some more work done today. I got the jack points installed on both sides. The sub-metal needed to be replaced before I could weld in the new pieces so it took some time.

I cut out a small piece from the door jamb to gain better access to the top.

I also spent quite a bit of time prepping the replacement rear fender. There was plenty of extra meat around the edges from where it was cut off the donor car that I had to remove. Just a little more trimming and it will be ready to go back on.

Update:

I've been working on a lot of little things lately. The front weatherstrip channel needed a little work so I took care of that.

The front trunk floor also has some thin metal with small pinholes. Welding them up wasn't an option so I fabricated and replaced a small section.

Also installed the front donuts.

I still have one small piece of the lower firewall to replace on the driver's side and then the jacking triangle and then I will be done working underneath the car. I will rotate the car and begin working on the exterior bodywork. I already spent some time on bodywork but am waiting to finish some of it before I post. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

looks great Doug! Is the rust on the pass lower fw flash rust from grinding away the powder coating? It's not embedded rust under the coating is it?

Post 95, picture 2? That's rust that was under some of the seam sealer. That whole lower edge though was replaced.

Cool, what's the other side look like? Hey BTW did you ever get that ground bolt back in on the driver's side wall just above the engine tray release tube?

No I keep remembering I need to do that and then I forgot to put it on the list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Consider it done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
