been slow around the shop. school coming to a close and no $$$$$$ to spend.
I did manage to get some done.
I got the rear floor pan partially cut and fit. I raised the floor approx. 4 inches to accommodate the frame that had been moved in by the previous owner. I also did my measuring and calculating for the back seat I plan to use. I fit the 4 in perlin in and I fabbed the floor panel to fit. I plan to finish the welding on Thursday. Not much to report, but something is better than nothing.

All progress is good. Stay after it.
I like to see a little steel building pieces in a car project.

I tell you... I get no respect!
Looks very heavy duty.
14 ga. material. Cheaper for some reason than 16 this round. I have to nurse the purse strings so money can be squeezed out. Maybe a little heavy, but heck, at least the old caddy motor will kind of feel needed. I am just doing what I can with what I have and can afford for now.
Thanks fellows for the words of encouragement.

Looking good. Better a little too heavy then a little too thin.
Right there with you on the budget as well. I am Trying to sell off some spare parts to raise the money to buy the part that I do need.
keep at it.

What Torchie said..... when ever I try to sell something it never seems to be
worth anything but when I bought it it was worth it's weight in gold
Got some new used seats at lkq this weekend and got new mounts built. I also started on the shifter /console and have it removable and will get to the hook up maybe today.
progress has slowed down to a crawl..........we had a water pipe in the attic bust so, we are drying out in two rooms, no kitchen or utility and cant get a plumber here until noon today [3 days no water makes one stinking weekend] LOL
Insurance man coming today and I can for see a remod of momma's kitchen probably. Oh well, when life gives you lemons, add some sweet and make lemonade. LOL. Just pray for favor from God with us. [cl
I will try and post some pics when things gets back to limited chaos instead of full blown disaster area.

Sorry you've got plumbing problems.
Been there and done that. Our little leak ruined all the wood flooring and carpet on the bottom floor and cost me a kitchen remodel too.
It's all a test to see what you're made of and how you can handle stress.
Hang in there Brother.

nothing but a "thang" as we used to say. I still know "God is still God" that is enough.
thanks for the encouragement.

Nice and clean gets the job done. nice work.
Thanks fellas. I plan to get an aluminum dash cut out in a day or so and fit it up. Next will be a set of digital gauges I traded for [new] and I will be feeling up town. Who knows, some day I may get to actually test drive it. LOL.

Looks good Big Dog, and yeah, gotta have a cup holder.........
I suppose it all about what perspective I am viewing from. I want to get it done and on the road. My "wallet "says we need to look more, spend less and keep on the sunny side. I appreciate all of the encouragement from you guys I call "my RRR family". thanks.
