Your dedication to this project is astonishing. I have thrown in the towel on my builds so many times it looks like a laundry mat after a flood. Although I rarely post I still lurk, glad to see you are still at it!

Hey Will,
Thanx for dropping by. It's good to hear from you.
If it weren't for this project, I'd have to spend more time worrying about my health, my kids, my wife, work, bills, etc. It's good therapy.

Images work. There's a thread about it. Need to change security setting.

Worked on the car ab it. Phone full of pics, but that doesn't help when I'm on the PC.

Anyway, beside sound deadener, I rebuilt the bracket for the mirror mount on the driver's door. Very solid now.

Today, I tackled that pesky fuel line. The way I left it last fall, nothing lined up. Months of thinking about it, and a spare Fiero in the local yard in case I buggered it up, I went at it.

I ended up chopping the bracket that mounts the tube to the filler door. Cut a crescent shape out to readjust the angle. Welded it all back up. Couple coats of paint. Good as new.

And the tubes line up now. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so I'll get them up soon.

Happy Easter,

Bob

Cliff already fixed the issue on the 3rd so there shouldn't be any other issues.

The pics...





edit: placed in Interior thread

And the gas door... Probably still going to tweek it...

This is the before, when the door hit the cap.


This is after some clearance cuts were made to move the neck over.




Also started working on the flange for the rear clamshell to b-pillar and the door gap.


see ya...

Lights look like a great choice to me. Anxious to see how they work out.
Also looking forward to seeing your car come together.

So much awesome stuff!

Really clean work on relocating the fuel cover! (yes, I know, out of all the cool stuff you did, that's the thing I opened with. I had to pick SOMETHING to start with, and there was too many options!) I really like the lines of your build, that 3/4 view on the last page from the front looks sharp. This is a super slick. And I agree on your headlight setup, I think that's going to look very "natural".

I have a question! With the "reverse decklid" (again, really slick engineering/fab work there!) how will you do maintenance? If you talked about this and I missed it, I apologize.

I'm assuming the decklid assembly will come off "easily" (relative to the current decklid anyway), by just one person and go back on "easily"? Just seems like it will be tough to lean over the "swoop/fastback" to do stuff around the decklid and increase risk of flex/crack/scratch damage to the body/paint.

Hey Trinten, thanx for dropping by.

Maintenance shouldn't be too bad. It's not bad now and it's 11" off the ground. Really the only issue I see now is the coolant bottle is under the sail panel. Makes access "interesting".

I haven't done it yet, but I think I'm going to move the air filter to the other sail panel. Maybe block it off and use the To Be Made louvre as the intake vent.

later
