Sanded and primed the dash, because I had two nice days to get any paint done

I just can't say how cool it is to just have a floor to sit on again

Also going back to arts and craft for the tunnel, with me luck its some weird shapes.

I also scored a new to me hood for $50 and its not buckled like mine was

Some rust on the bottom but they feel solid

The rear "trunk" drops look OK

The last day was all about spot welding

The second day was a short one but I got it all tacked in place

The first three sections went in really fast the first day

How I left it yesterday. I think I may work on the rest of the rear framework, now that I have more materials

The condenser mounts to the core support, so all the pieces can come apart individually

Removable top plate/bar so I can pull the engine and trans easier

The templates are actually pretty good even for the other side. So I must have made the car pretty symmetrical!

I won't clutter the post with each progress picture, just the final shots. Grinding to be done as I feel like it

And yes, thats a lot of spot/rosette welds

Made the floor out of cardboard!

This is the rough plan for the rear floor section. Obviously this bed floor section is upside down, but you get the idea

The majority of the floor is gone, and the rear body mounts are in place.

I snagged a very cheap HVAC unit (no defrost though) and we shall see how that works out

Started on the rear floor

It made it out in one piece and I think I may have nailed the stance (sort of, more on that later)

Don't try to figure out how square things are, they might not be exactly right in these photos

Decided I needed to see the grill sitting on the front again, just to get excited over the progress

It took a lot of fiddling to get the bezel to fit and everything else

It works better with the wider top of the column on the aftermarket unit

It turns out I had to open the hole for the column a little.

Couldn't get the block off plate from my parts place so I made one

Just a few more holes to fill, and a block off to buy for the radio holes

I know its just random gauges and stuff (not the style I'd use) but I'm excited for the finished product

Lot of weird screw holes. They did the cave and pave on these as well, so there was a lot of hammering and fixing before any welding could occur

Stipped the filler and paint off the dash

I did cut the frame horns off because they kind of went too far forward

Hung the doors and fenders and started to figure out the core support, of course I didn't get a pic with the hood emblem and bird installed

Its a lot more stable than when I started!

Once the dash bar was bolted in solid and the firewall plug welded from the inside the brace could be removed, I also got the steering and brakes bolted on. Still need to brace the brake setup better.

Redid the flanges on the pillars for the dash to sit against
