Its been a bit since my last update. Didn't get much work on the car done for sometime then I started picking it up again here and there. Got quite a bit done paint wise too.

Engine cleaned and prepped for paint.


Then got it shot in epoxy.


Mixed up some paint I had around the house and ended up with this color. Didn't care for it at first but the more I look at the the more I like it.


Also got the transmission stripped and painted.



And got them both assembled


Most importantly I got my sub frame back!


And installed


Taking advantage of the exhaust notches in the trunk I built a washer jug to clean up the engine bay and move weight to the rear.



Today I started removing the last of the cancer.


I ended for the night with about half the lip repaired.

Thanks!

Finished up the cowl tonight and got it in epoxy so it shouldn't rust out ever again.

I've been working on quite a bit of stuff on the car just mostly stuff I'm not going to post pictures of. I did get the engine and transmission installed.



The stainless collectors showed up today for the Tri-Y headers and I picked up a few boxes of random bends from Stainless Works.


Spent the rest of the afternoon building the passenger header.




I ran out of gas for the TIG so I'll have to start the driver side header when I get some more gas.

Thanks

Finished up the driver header. I can say that chances are I'll never buy another set of headers I enjoyed building them that much.
