Pulled the car out for the first time in quite a few months to clean it and the garage up. Lately i've been working on gettting the back half to progress in anticipation of the engine being built.... eventually.

More grinding in the hell hole and metal ready. Cut out some small pieces but the majority of the metal is still there albeit thin and pitted. I could cut it out, fabricate and replace it, or just patch the thin parts. Still haven't decided which to do. What i'd really like to do is get a web cam with a light that I can drop down into the hole in the long and see whats inside!

removed the battery tray and support as the PO did a half ass job replacing it. Don had a spare set that he hooked me up with and that is now almost ready to get going on.

After washing and cleaning the car I drilled the rivets and pulled the rockers. As expected I found the jack plate to have turned into dust and become one with the giant dirt clod that had collected there. Both side, but i'll find out tomorrow how superficial it is when I take the grinder to it. The rest looks great! and it cool to see the original L99A still in nice shape under there.

I've got the Alloy 951 wheels i've been collecting on there to roll it around. These will be my practical wheels, with a 195-65 sport/touring tire of some type. Not sure what yet, but its giving me time to see how I like em.. Keep the Fuchs with the 50 series for special occasions.
