I've been working on it pretty steady all winter. I worked on the fuel system somewhat, that's almost finished. I got most of the metal work finished. Roll cage is painted! That was a fun one. I masked it off Saturday (6 hours worth) now I have to clean the inside up and get that painted. It's getting close.

 

Sounds good. You shooting to complete it this year?

 

I hope to. My parents are bad shape and I'm having to spend a lot of my time right now taking care of them. I did manage to sneak out Saturday and mask off the rollcage. 6 hours. It is getting close and I'm getting down to the fun stuff. So, hopefully this year I will drive it.

 

Sorry to hear that I'm dealing with similar issues. Good luck to both of us....

 

looking great dude, hope your parents are better.
updated pics please!

Hey man sounds like you are making pretty good progress, better than mine for sure. I can sympathize on helping parents and family, I hope every thing is doing better for you. Cant wait for pics.

Really like what youve done with the body, I dream frequently about doing a rear end just like yours and would like to incorporate the stock taillight section, do you think this is possible?
Either way frikkin love the work youre putting in looks like you are doing things right the first time, everytime.

Thanks for all the pictures, subscribed!

 

Thanks! I could have left the taillights stock. This is a custom kit so anything is possible!

I'm hoping to have the inside painted by the end of the weekend. I'll post more pics.

 

freaking awesome fab work sir. one day i hope to gain enough fab experience to pull off some masterful stuff like this. cant wait to see video of this thing in action

 

Well, I got the interior painted finally. Dove gray gloss. Wanted an industrial look to it.

 

Still sanding and sanding. Seems like it never stops. Almost ready for paint. Then I can start on all the other panels. Doors need a complete overhaul. All new seals.

 

Looking good! May have missed it but what color u going with?

 

I'm actually not going to paint it right away. I'm going to leave the epoxy primer which is a satin finish until it's sanded. I'm going to assemble it and drive it to make sure it doesn't get any stress cracks before I finally paint it white. I'd really like to drive it before it gets cold.

 

Have the hood, sideskirts and the rear parts to do still but it's looking like a car again.

 

O wow that looks great!

 

can you pls take a pix of your gas tank door and how did you mod the gas filler neck/hose. we're finishing my buddy's 81 mariah widebody. tuanks

 

I can take pics but it's a totally fabricated setup with a hummer H2 gas door.

 

Love the second pic where you can see the rack and pinion lurking through the air dam opening haha. Looking good!

 

it came with a mariah gas door, currently mounted as side but i think top mount maybe better except water may get trapped. we're still playing with the idea. thanks

 

Getting parts done. Still have the sideskirts and the rear pieces.

 

getting closer

 

Man that's really coming together. Looks mean!

 

Looking good!

 

Ok, bodywork not quite done but I'm ready to move on to something else. I still have to install the front brake rotors and I'm going to use some hub-centric spacers to get the front wheels out flush with the fenders. Next up is getting the dash in so I can get the windshield installed. I still have some work to do on the diffusers as well but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

 

That looks great! I'm liking the side skirts...that's the one thing that I think is missing from my car.
