And for tonight's fun! I decided this things needed a bit of junk in its trunk so, I gave it a trunk!!
Tomorrow after the body panel glue dries I will paint it and done for this part!! the aluminum sheet is riveted besides glued in. Carpet will go in after paint.


John, we need a battery tray this car did not have one in it.
I need a tube of 3m 8115 glue

I need some fill primer soon I am just about ready to do the final sanding and body work I am going to pull it all apart this weekend and fine tune all the modifications and put it together for the last time before it gets fill primed. After that I am in limbo till Steve is ready to toss the engine in but we need a wire harness and gaskets stat!!

The carpets came pretty clean I am happy with them now that they are dry. They are now waiting to be installed I will be working on cleaning more of the interior parts as it sits waiting for engine. I will prob install dash and other interior bits while I wait that can be covered up easy.

Seat covers? We need some eventually the ones in it are kinda not nice but usable for now. I also need the headliner stuff noted above. Or, I prob can just sand down the fiberglass fabric board and do something fun.
Oh one more thing, we need to figure out how to hold up decklid, the mounts are gone for the springs so some sort of gas shock i think will be needed

CHris (Av8fiero) and I got a bunch done today, my neck is super burnt ouch!!!! so here is a few pics of the visible stuff. the not visible stuff was removing the rear clip and getting the wiring for the trunk sorted out since it was laying out from were it had to be run. We also fixed some bad fiberglass spots before remounting the rear clip and fixing the d plates in the trunk since one was cracked. We added sealer to them as well so the trunk stays nice and dry.

After all that we started to fit the back bumper


We mounted the plates under the rear clip that the turn signal lights screw in also and fitted up the bumper having to modify it slightly to fit right.


After that we moved onto the dash and installed that after giving it a general cleaning. I think it looks ok but could use a re dye job at some point. For now its ok to go as I want to leave some Father Son projects for you guys.



Then we moved onto the front bumper and started final fitting and modifications a bit since I did not like how it was mounting. I will need to do some glass work as a few spots seem a bit fiddly



Caught a pic of the Illusive Chris!


Sleeping will kinda suck I think lol I am toasted burnt!!! All for a good cause tho!!

Hey Rob it was good to have some time to work on cars this past week end. I'll be back in a week end or two to crank some more stuff out on this project. I hope I helped more than I hinderd the progress of this build. Getting closer but still a ways to go. Rob I don't know why you don't have you own fab shop. YOU DA MAN! The Rottinchop is a little further along and it will be done. Rob and Steve and the very minor help I'll provide will see to that. John you'll have a great car when it's done. Lets get her done!

Ya I would love to do this stuff full time but the initial investment just seems to keep holding me back. Anyone got a extra 100g laying around? lol

We may have a serious logistics problem guys, John may be off grid for a bit but, by chance John if you get the chance to sneak online and see this Facebook works were you will be. We figured this out with Aaron while it was his turn there. I will keep pushing forward as much as possible but donations are more important now so more than ever.

Big need if anyone has some to spare a gt trunk lock and guts setup including the extension part on decklid and rod. We also need door lock set to match.

So hey got some work done today!! The interior is partially in and well Chris and I decided stock was boring so a few tweaks are being made to make it look nicer. I gave John a small preview but the whole install is top secret till done!! I need to find a nice automatic shift plate. I will trade the manual ones I have for it including a dot matrix one. does not matter what year as the trim plates and face plates are getting hydro dipped.
