Its been far too long since I've posted anything. I haven't been resting on my laurels - instead I've been working on a few other projects - a 1935 Dodge "Humpback" panel truck for my brother, and a 1967 4x4 Camaro for my step-daughter. (they're both long stories). Anyway, I've gotten back into the project. First up, building a mount for the air compressor and air bag control valves. Then trying to get all the panels to line up. Any body kit is a bear, and this one is no exception. Pics to follow.

These three photos show the compressor mount - it sits about 1 inch above the winch. It still needs the mounting base for the compressor and valve body (the cardboard boxes are built to the overall dimensions of the pieces). I'm also going to install a shield at the front of the mounting box to protect the compressor from dirt coming through the radiator.

Been working on making the decklid fit the new fiberglass - not as easy as you would think.

Finally finished fabricating the compressor and valve body mount. The first photo shows the parts mounted in place. The next two show the powder coated frame and polished aluminum base and windscreen.

Glad to see your still in the game on this project, I love this build! Was going to start a topic on top 10 builds on this site and you are defiantly one of them.

Yep, I'm still in the project. I've had my focus on building a handicap-accessible custom for my parapalegic brother. For the last year my friends and I have been rebuilding a 1935 Dodge "Humback" panel truck, including a new small block 350 with a 700R4 trans, new wiring, EFI, a wheelchair lift in the back and a power, swivel seat so he can get into the cab. Here's a pic:



And if that's not enough, I'm also trying to complete a build for my 17 year old. That project is a 1967 Camaro sitting on a 1995 Tahoe 4wd frame. I definately need to work on my own car more.

Very Cool Project. I have always loved the look / style of that kit. It makes for a great all season Fiero. Plus the looks at the gas stations will be priceless.
