I got the car in Nov 05 and got it running.
After further investigation
I saw how much damage BUBBA had done to it
and decided to do a complete frame off resto.
I have disassmbled the entire car,
sand blasted
and painted the frame.
Front Suspension done. Steeroids Rack and Pinion Steering, Bilstein shocks, Fiberglass mono spring, 4 piston calipers.
Trailing arms disassembled, media blasted, painted, ready for rebuild.
Rear diff done, installed along with Bilstein shocks, fully adjustable strut rods, dual mount fiberglass spring and rebuilt trailing arms.
Frame is ready to go. Got it on its old wheels just so I could take it outside and drool. I will put the fuel and brake lines on soon and be ready for engine.
Ok got more frame parts put on. Had to take all of it apart. Front and Rear is back assembled. Put on lines and tank and will be ready for new body.
Rear
New body. Will be selling the frame to this one.
New body on restored frame!!!! Finally!!!!!
First box of Dynamat. One large box covered the entire rear end. I still have 2 more boxes to use on doors, firewall and floor pans.
Second box of Dynamat. Whole car is done but the doors.
Alright. On to the wiring. Bought a Painless wiring setup and have laid it all out where it is going to go.
