Getting ready to work...

And Headlight Bucket fix....



Whats left to weld? Inner firewall, right rear jacking triangle and the jacking posts. Plus whatever else I find on the way...

Hey good news! R-D just called, the inner firewall and rear jacking triangle should be on the way in the next couple of days!!

looking good man!!

RD called!! OMG! you are one of the lucky ones! How many times did you call them before they called you back?

The progress looks good! I wish I was that far along.

Is that a properly supported load?!? From one newbie to another - USE YOUR JACK STANDS!

Our cars are cool, but not worth a decapitation.

Your progress looks good! I'll be following in your footsteps within a few weeks.

No problem, there is a jackstand behind me that you can't see in the picture. If you look close you can see a block of wood under the rear suspension, that is where the jackstand is.

Called R-D twice.

to get a reply after only two calls is a good sign. Maybe they are finally getting their act together.

Go Man GO!!!

Not only did R-D leave a message at home with the status of my order, they also called my office and left a message there.

Very nice! Hopefully a sign of things to come!

Brad Mayeur.

Great Kit.

Yes, the longitudinal reinforcements are made and sold by Brad Mayeur in Illinois. I really like them and look forward to driving with them. They REALLY stiffen up the chassis. I can see the difference just jacking the car up and stuff.

Brad's name was at the tip of my tongue this morning when I wrote that post...
I was going to use brads kit and I was thinking of using engmans kit as well...
I would be happy to hear any thoughts on that...

I don't know the engmans kit, what is that all about? Also, a chassis stiffening kit came with my parts car. I haven't installed it and I wonder if it will do much since I have Brad's kit on there. Any suggestions?

If decapitation worries you, take a look at this one!



The lens makes that fuel filter look a lot closer than it is, plus it has been dry for 5 years!
