looks great man!

 

good job banzai. I'm jealous, body work is my weakness

 

I got some more welding on the floor repair done. Also got the good repair in "temporary" paint; off the shelf duplicolor body shop series white

 

Looking great

 

sweet! progress!

 

While ur at it, retrofit the firewall so you can use the larger Fb brake boooster and clutch master

 

wow bro! looks like its coming along real nice!

 

Finally got the shape of the front closure piece for the rocker panel. Still lots of welding and grinding to do.

 

Nice work!! Man I wish I knew how to do metal work.

 

finished the rocker panel and door pillar repair, sill needs a coat of bedliner

 

Stripped the door down

 

Looking like progress is in your corner . Awesome

 

Looking good, you are making good progress.

 

Decided to clean up the inner quarter area before remounting the fuel pump from the bastard mount that was in it



There was lots of rust inner the paint

 

Worked on rehabbing the exhaust system. RB header thru 2 RB presilencers, merges into a dual other RB muffler. It was poorly mounted when I got the car back in 2006. I decided it was time to fix the scraping and rattling driving down the road. Here is the RB muffler mocked into it's new position. I plan on reworking the valance opening for better aesthetics.


New mounts will have to be fabricated.

The pipes from the presilencers were poorly laid out. I was able to do the first bend in the harbor freight Bender, but the second bend wouldn't fit in the Bender, so I will have to do a pie cut to rotate the flange back to a vertical . Here is a pic before the pie cuts.



Eventually mandrel bends will be used to make new pipes

 

Great work! I like your idea of reshaping the valance.

 

Worked on cleaning up the gas tank mounting area. Will steam clean to remove degreaser residue and prep for paint this weekend

 

Getting back to work after a 2 year hiatus. Damn bad back and blown rotator cuff, ohh and a camper restoration/rebuild

 

Get to it!
