Looking good, Erik!

Do you like your magnetic ground clamp?

Erik,
Here's more another shade of "coppertone":

Looks like the candy brown on my 55 buick kustom. It's for sale if anyone is interested.

I had a busy weekend of exciting rust bucket work... I got the rear rust work done and painted up, so I decided to take a brake for a couple of minutes and start assembling some of the pretty bits. First step was installing the new Elephant trailing arm bushing kit and some fresh FAG bearings (I still laugh at "FAG" every time..) into the freshly powder coated arms. Then I hung them with the rear Koni coilovers and 175# progressive springsAttached Image

I then moved on to the front of the car and discovered some more exciting BS...I suppose that its totally OK to graft on a new (used) front end and then stop welding when you can't see or reach an area, right? I mean, I know its a unibody car, but I am sure some fiberglass resin will be strong enough to maintain integrity, right?

So, yes, I started yelling and throwing myself around for a minute...then I got back to work.

I got everything seam welded up and then made new patch pieces to actually connect the cowl to the inner fender

I still have some work to do in the exposed corners, but I wanted to wait until I could test fit the fenders and figure out how they are going to fit before I added more material there.

Eric, you are the "welding MAN"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

BTW, if you hook phone to your computer and paste to your desktop the software display the desktop icon once open will probably allow you to rotate picture and then 'save' which over-writes the origina....then you can post the picture here. Seems like a hassle but once you do it a few times it becomes routine and easy.

Keep the photos coming!

I decided to take another welding brake Saturday afternoon and got the front Koni struts, turbo tie-rods and brakes installed up front. Looking at that stuff almost makes all the BS worth it...Almost...

The past few days have been eventful. Got the fuel system installed, got the fuel tank back in the car. Got the Atomic EFI ECU, Coil, MSD 6a, Return Regulator and throttle body installed. Had to modify the firewall to clear the MSD Male-style cap (hooray).

I ran the feed and return lines through the driver's heater tube, along with the fan control wires and the fuel pump wiring. I actually used a measuring tape as a fish line and it worked pretty awesome.

I am off for a quick vacation with the wife and kid, so next tuesday I will be back at it. I received all the seat pedestals, hinges and reinforcements yesterday, so I want to get the welding finished for GOOD soon.

Brake lines are being made and Rich has the last of the rear brake parts coming this week too.

My Vinyl guy came by and took measurements for the wrap and that is scheduled for July 21
