About a year ago I was fortunate to spend a beautiful day doing laps at the track. I enjoyed it so much, but feeling the car flex in the turns really made me worry. I decided it was time to finally fix the hell-hole.
Hell-bent (no pun intended) to do this myself I immediately set to putting the car in the air, researching where/what to cut, bracing the frame, etc. Well after a few cuts I realized not only that I was over my head, but that I didnt really care for metalwork at all. So there the car sat for almost a year. I am happy to say that it is finally almost completed at this point. I found a local guy that does really good restorations and was able to get on his list and finally it was time. I checked on it this morning and it looks great so far! Hoping to get it back this weekend and start putting the rest of it back together. I know I have a long list of things that I need from when I initially took it apart. One step closer! |

Yes I knew it was coming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I know some of you probably would have gone much further but there was so much good steel we didnt go any further than necessary. The goal is to get a solid tub so I can at least enjoy driving it a while again. For the time being I just wanted to have something solid to build on. The driver floor pan is next and then that will follow with a spray of the entire bottom and all welded parts to encapsulate what else is there. Skim coatings and priming and then time to enjoy driving it until the next time I have money to do more. I wont have the money to get a decent paint job for a few more years so that will be next.    |
