ok, heres my new project. this is going to go pretty slow, until i can get some decent time to get work done... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) I hate school. ordered metal, and am waiting for it to arrive. I'm glad i didn't pay alot for this car, cause i found 100 percent more rust than I expected. things that looked solid, fell apart. lots of fabrication work. But i'm not afraid to fabricate stuff. I gotten pretty good. here are some pics that are more recent. Hope you enjoy this thread!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) drivers side after digging

I was thinking of the lack of gloves. I always wear gloves now because I made a mistake one day and ground part of my middle finder off with a wire wheel. I'm only 17 BTW, so now offense. I like the metal work, just make sure you are cutting out the rust until you hit good metal. I found that the patch plates I made always ended up being bigger that I originally though because of the hidden rust. Kepp up the good work.
