It doesn't look like much has been done, but a TON of little things have been replaced/fixed. Remember I'm trying to go for that look where when you see it rolling down the street you'll say "How is that POS driving? And why did he buy wheels for it?"
I've been collecting parts since I bought it so I have a ton of miscellaneous things like transmission cooling lines, fuel line, exhaust, etc just laying around ready to be used.
I got the gas tank dropped out and I'm having it recoated. I was thinking about going for a fuel cell but the gas cap is behind the license plate...how can you pass that up?
The rear end has been completely rebuilt from hub to hub. It's a Ford 8.8" not sure on the gearing though.
I got the new radiator test fitted but I have to build some lower supports because someone lifted the front with a forklift and tore them off.. That's what you get for buying a car from a junk yard I guess.
I'm waiting for the rest of my Wilwood front disc brake kit to come in, then I'm going to be buying some LM reps. I also got this sweet floor shifter for my birthday!
I'm in the process of getting the old wiring harness taken out to make way for this Painless wiring kit but since the car is so close to that side wall I can't get it out from underneath the drivers door, so I'm going to have to get the new leaf springs and rear axle in and dolley it away from the wall.
I ran out of welding gas while redoing the floors
I realized that I want to have something nice and custom made on this as well, and I have a friend who works as a machinist at a place with stainless steel, so he's going to make me stainless door panels and an engine compartment cover for around the engine. I also need to figure out headlights...
Now it's just a waiting game. I have to wait for the new leafs springs and front brakes to come in, then everything will be put together and hopefully driving! My summer classes end at the end of the month then I will have 22 days to reach my goal of the August 23rd car show. Wish me luck. I'll be sure to update when things are put together here and there
Oh and if you feel like helping my cause, I accept donations
