The GT project went on hold for a while but now that Ida's out of the garage it has a prominent place on the service roster.

Sunday was the big day. I finally got rid of the last bit of damage to the tub and welded on my final fender. Here's some pics that showed what went on:

Before. Checking the bumper fit and taking measurements That corner was in about 1.5", mostly on the bottom. Luckly the headlight bucket didn't need to be removed.

I had to pull out that tab about 1.5 inches. Damn, these little things are tough (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Front end is clamped and bolted in place to check final fit before it gets torn apart again.

I'm torn... I hate color changes but, Saturn Yellow hasn't been my favorite, especially when I had a Canary Yellow steed in the stable. Now that the Canary has flown the coup... Saturn may be OK.

Yeah I was lucky there. I was trying out my new Snipe program last year and I got 4 factory flares for $600. They were attached to some fenders (for the most part). I then went searching for a better tub to put them on. Brad had this one that tagged the front on a guard rail, over corrected and tagged the rear. Both the drivers front and rear were the flares that came attached to rather "complete" fenders.

They looked like they were off a factory car. Welding was "perfect" and all fill work was lead (as you can see in some of those later pictures).

Eric,

Your car is looking great, I am sooo jealous (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif). Where did you get the complete steel gt fenders, I was thinking about just adding the flares but your way looks better. I'd love to come buy and check out your car some time. keep up the good work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) .

Ginter's car will be a rusty hulk again by the time this one's finally done (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I'm gonna tell Troy to paint mine "better" than his anyway... I really don't care what color it is as long as it's "better" than Gints (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif)

Plus... while his was apart, I put a bunch of nuts and bolts between the body panels. It's gonna be a rattle trap. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

Other than that... Naaaaa, Gint's gorgeous tub sitting less than 1/4 mile away doesn't have any affect on me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Bet you could use a front trunk hinge bolt right about now...

I'm heading out to the shed now to get "the other one". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Hey Chase (Skid),

I'll be out the weekend of 4/9-10 to pick up the tub. I'm not sure how far Highland UT is from Sandy, but you're welcome to come over and help bolt up suspension pieces. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

No hurry... I have a bright orange one on there now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Actually, I'm in need in deed but it can wait until you get here now. The hood just doesn't line up.

Do you have the suspension done? What's the plan? First I heard there was"work" involved (dirty little four letter word).

First of all, I found the other hinge bolt. I'm gonna mail it just to be sure you get it. Cause I still can't find the first one that I "put in a place that I wouldn't forget it". I can remember it all right, it's finding it that I can't do.

We're gonna have to bolt the suspension on just like we talked about last time. And it will be a "little" bit of work. I didn't re-do the entire suspension, but I blasted the contact points and will be re-shooting paint on them this weekend.

Shar just got another job offer today, this one for $5k MORE!!! I'm a happy man... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)
