Unfortuneatly, nothing to report for the body, (looks like it's been nearly a year, too )

But, progress has been made. Two new/rebuilt frame rails were installed. The trunk is all metal again, with no holes. And, I'm almost done cleaning and repainting the inside/outside of the floor pans.
I've also installed 13" rotors and larger calipers, and for the first time in years, actually got to drive it (albeit around the block).

The next thing to do is decide where this project is going, because I really want to do this:


Time will tell...

Got some of the mechanicals done over the weekend. The car starts and runs smoothly again. I also brought home a couple of pieces from the kit to check out. It's gonna need a little work.

The driver's side rear quarter was broken, so I brought the quarter vent and door home to play with.



The quarter has up to 1/2" bondo where it was stuck to the chassis. A mix of screws were used to fasten it.



Damage from behind.


and outside...



Made room in the garage so I can bring the rest of the rear quarter home.

Most of the kit made it home.

Here's my oldest son enjoying a convertible.


Stuffed into the garage.

First mod: cut off the "rear exhaust vent".




And throwing on the body panels to review the work ahead.

Lookin' good Bob;

A bit of work on the driver's side fro sure but you will be flaring it out anyway so some simple patching to get it solid and then start pouring the expanding foam from there buddy.....

Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Cheers
