Default More Progress

Nick decided to cut out all of the ugly sheet metal on the firewall and replace it with flat sheet metal. I'll smooth all of it out before we paint it. Also installed the rear ant-roll bar and sent the rear housing off to be powder coated. We sent the fender air extractors out also to be ceramic coated black. It's really starting to get humid around here as you can see from all of the surface rust on everything.

Pretty soon she'll go back on the rotisserie and we'll get to work sanding and epoxy primering the entire car inside and out. Then body and paint. Just have a few more tabs to weld on and some of the front structure to finish.

Default Rear End

Got the rear back from powder coating. Looks sweet. Nick made me an awesome 9" holding fixture.
