Startin' to set body panels N' stuff in place. Preparing to start cage fabrication.

Windshield obstruction s'not all that bad????

Quarter panels should be here Sept. 7 or 8. Then I can temporarily Clecos pin everything together to locate all the cage tubes.

Looking good, Pro. Hey!! Isn't it kinda like cheating to get the cage all fabbed and welded before the quarters are installed permanently??? Sure will be a lot easier than crawling around inside the car!!

Yup




No great progress on the chebbie pickup, got the doors stretched to fit the "slightly altered" door openings. Still a long way to go on it. [/QUOTE]

Gonna be kewl when done tho Dave.
Mine's gonna experience a big slow down too. Got a gi - huge - ic sign order to get done that will eat up most of Sept. .... over N' above the day to day stuff. So I'll just work-eat-sleep for the next couple weeks or so. I'll still check in @ CHR during the eat part of that cycle tho. He HE HE

Thought I would try one more.

Cleaned up the firewall , Installing eng.

gerrrrrrrrrrrrr

Got the eng. in frenched the headlights .

Looking awesome Pro70, I am liking that blown motor you have, very nice!

Low 49, you have a great ride there, it looks like you have doen alot to it already. Your trunk lid looks like mine, very rough! great job though.

Tore the Fairlane down in April and then hauled butt to Oklahoma when mom had a minor stroke. Didn't seem too minor at the time. The crazy old broad had the constitution of a sixty year old and didn't look much over seventy. Now she looks and acts her age.........86. Still has a warped sense of humor though.

Anyway, finally got back to the shop and continued to hack and slash. Narrowed a nine inch and tossed the 8 inch. Detroit locker and 4.11 gears and a 2400 stall lockup converter. Replaced the rotten panel where the battery was with new tin and put the batt in the trunk. Major surgery on the crossmember to drop the aod a couple inches and worked the e-brake linkage over to clear. Just have to make up a cable to link to the new explorer disc rears. Rebuilt the doors with all new fuzzies and track guides and made the hinges new again. In my spare time I finally got the damn water spots off the windows. Major PITA.
