We are use'n Martian Senior on this one. The guy paying the bills is a huge NAPA customer, one of the top 3 in the area so he is getting a hell of a deal on all the supplies. Its the 1st time I have used it and sofar I like it a lot.

Sorry I misspoke on the brand.(correction)

Got the right quarter on and started fitting the left side. Also mocking up the console where all the wireing and computers will be hidden.

After a day an a 1/2 I finally got the left 1/4 on. It kicked my azz, I hate after market crap!
Also got the console made just need to do a couple cut outs and it off the upholstery.[dr

cross members with studs that go through the tunnel with rubber mounts. It all worked out real nice, all the computers and fuze box fit inside it with all the harness coming out the lower part of the tunnel. you won't see any wires under the hood at all.

Today I had to get rid of the spare tire mount and bumps as it would get in the way of the custom floor board that will be going in. Had to make a panel with the beads so it looks right from underneath [

A lot of work for something you don't see much of.
Finished it sorta today, gotta mold the section in the center that was a after tought and put temporary etching primer on it.

All the metal work is done on the main body so I wanted to remount it on the frame to make sure nothing twisted or got outa shape before it goes back on the rotisserie for the finish work starts. You know, door gaps and stupid chit like that.

 

[cosmic12]

still plugging away on this one also along with the 37 and my 52

Wow you are doing an amazing job! Thanks for posting all the pictures; you could write a blog on such a project! Your work is so detailed that the final result will be grand, I am sure. Can't wait for your next post!

Been working on getting the chassis together. All Ride Tech seemingly endless adjustable suspension and it looks good to!.

 

[Dirtyrat]

That suspension looks killer!

 

[maverickmk]

Oh wow, that is some beautiful hardware. Looking good.

 

[cosmic12]

Thanks for looking guys. I know its not what usually is on here but its the first build like this I have ever been involved with and it is really fun doing something very clean and dam near perfect. I just hope that I can make the body as nice as the rest of the car will be. I just have to share it with someone because I am very proud to be part of it, though maybe not worthy

 

[sawzall]
