It's looking good, Bobby!!! I'm jealous!

What's the width of your rear end?

Gettin' a little personal there aren't you buddy?

It (the car!) does look good Bobby! Wish I could do body work half as good as you guys.... But, I'm trying!

Oh, Mike?, Mike?, Mike!, what are we going to do with you??!!

As for your bodywork skills.....it's hard to weld on a plastic car....

You asking for hip size LMAO JUST KIDDING , the rear end is 59 1/4 wm to wm .

Here are some close shots of pedal assys . Sorry I got these by phone and can't re size them I tried it and lost 2 LOL had to have him resend them to me.

Randy your pedal assembly is a lot better comparing the 2 now . They cut a big chunk away to fit these in , Maybe I can use them and start over and make a set like you have weld new bungs on and all . Like the spacing yours have as compared to these .

Do with me? WHAT??? I just couldn't resist! As far as welding, now I know what "they" say when anyone tells me it ain't as easy as everyone thinks! I think the metal work is far easier than the "plastic".... I'm finding myself doing the same area 3 and 4 times trying to get it "just right"...

Rich I was wondering if you are running the original column ? Looking for some ideas for the connection at the firewall and If I need to shorten the 37 column any . If I have to shorten it I think I will bring it all under the dash like a front wheel drive , this way I can exit just about anywhere I need with the universal under dash also .

Well here is the latest update pic from builder almost on 4 wheels , he thinks my rollers are in a stack buried outside in the snow .

Sorry about size again off his cell phone and they won't let me edit .

Bobby I`m running GM tilt, exits at the original spot to a vega box, I need to change mine too a 525 box, ( at least that is what I`ve been told due to the weight), the car only weighs in at 2590 lbs. What do you guys think...

Bobby, it's looking great!! It's exciting to get it on all fours. Have you made any decisions about how you're going to modify the center section for the 5 speed, etc?

Randy I have some one building this for me , he will be final Judge for that I know he is putting it in in 1/2 inch plate .. He is a master sheet metal guy though and am sure it will look great .

I will get it back in roller form and finished sheet metal in self etching primer . I will complete the car once its back .

Cool. I'm curious to see what he does with it. Always fun to see everyone's ideas and handiwork. I like the big rims on the back. Hope they work with your fenders.
