Well we pick up our story already in progress but I hope that by forcing myself to post some pictures I will be motivated to keep going.
I bought the car may years ago and have yet to truely enjoy it. I have started to restore it several times and always get distracted but this weekend the baby (and his mother) is out of town and we have a three day weekend so lets see how far I can get. Here is where we are starting this morning. |

Didn't get much done on the car this weekend (It was my Anniversary) but I did make it the the Peach State PCA Autocross at Atlanta Motor Speedway. All I did was spectate but it was a lot of fun. Below are some pics of what I got done last weekend.
The deeper I dig into the Driver's long the less I like what I see. The front is still ok but as you can see the rear is very pitted on the inside. I have not yet decided how much farther back I will cut out. The area I have alreay cut out is easily replaced with some left over inner long from the passenger side but if I go much farther back I will need to fab some more custom parts as the long starts to turn up and he inner reinforcing layer starts to have corrugations. Before I make any more decisions I will need to determine whether this car has a drivers hell hole. On the plus side I fabed the inner sleeve for the drivers side. I'll have to decide whether it is worth refabing it once I determine how much more comes out. John |
