First let me start by saying I am NOT getting a divorce. But this car may lead to that. Sure seems like it sometimes.:banghead: :banghead:
Anyhow, updates and pics. Interior is completely gutted. Cut out the old dash cause it was a little mangled on the passenger side. I bought a unmolested, non rusted one on e-pay for a great price ( can't buy repop ones cause they are not produced).http://pic80.picturetrail.com:80/VOL817/2049558/15882729/321284387.jpg
I also took out the heater core. Question on this. What can I use in replace of the controller with a stock heater core? Don't like the look and the levers are constantly breaking.
Took the cowl and hood off and sanded these down and then put in primer to preserve the metal. Front clip has all been replaced except for the passenger fender. I was going to keep this but decided to get a Goodmark fender since I am replacing 95% of the metal anyhow. Rear half of the car has been sanded down and all I can do is :crying: .
My first plans were to bag the car with a new front clip and 4 link. Plans have changed a little bit since I had a nice talk with a gentleman who has built these and is good friends with a guy named "Mark". All of the things he said to do made perfect sense and will probably save me some coin in the long run. Very excited about this stage of the build.
Thanks for reading this long post and wish me luck.http://pic80.picturetrail.com:80/VOL817/2049558/15882729/321284457.jpg
