I love this picture, My wife says that's all I do when I'm out in the shop "working" on my car.

"What the hell was I thinking?!?!??!?"

[formula]

As I looked at the first picture: "Mannnn that's not ground zero!"

As I looked at the second picture: "Oh. That...is."

[Motown 454]

Ataboy Nate join the club. There will be no rust worries after that for sure. What are you using for the rear suspension?

[Dalamar]

Great work!

[67speedfreak]

Ataboy Nate join the club. There will be no rust worries after that for sure. What are you using for the rear suspension?

The rear will have a DSE mini tub with a nine and Quadra Link.
This car will also have a DSE front clip with DSE connectors tieing it together.

WOW.

[67speedfreak]

WOW.

Is that a MCC body jig?

No we build are own.

Thanks,
Brian

[Motown 454]

Sounds like a sweet setup. Its going to be an awesome project.

[67speedfreak]

Thanks for all the kind words guys !

[xtreme]

[Chevrolaine]

It's a shame you started with such a solid car! Nice work!

[strtcar]

Man this is a great build.

[94SNGLTURBO]

looks like theres going to be some money spent on this car :)

[Patrick]

Brian,

Is that James' car?

[67speedfreak]

Brian,

Is that James' car?

Yes it is !

What's up Patrick ?

[Patrick]

I ran into James the other day and told me that you had the car. I should be over in your area in a week or two-- I'll swing by.

[The Rook]

People like you guys make me sick....hacking up an all original first gen f-body just to make some "custom" pro-touring ride with mini-tubs and a smoothed firewall!!!!!!!
Just to be perfectly clear, I am kidding here.

It is amazing to see what is under all those body panels and that someone can actually cut it all away and rebuild it into a complete car. I am in awe of these types of builds. This thread should come with a warning "CAUTION!!! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!"

[T_Raven]

It looks easy when the pics are posted in a few consecutive posts like that lol. It took 30 seconds for me to see it go from start to where it's at now, how hard could it be? lol

[67speedfreak]

I spent the past couple of days working the rocker panels.

Drivers side new rocker installed.

It looks great. Your moving along really quickly.

[RS_Customs]

Great job! So many people don't realize what it takes to replace the skin, all the pictures give a good idea of the effort.

Keep up the good work!

What kind of tools are you using to smooth out the welds? They look really awesome!

[67speedfreak]

Thanks,

I use a 36 grit roloc disk on an angle grinder followed by 80 grit DA.

[67speedfreak]

[shudog]

This thread is great, hats off to the guys for doing some exceptional work.

When I see threads like this I always wonder if it would have been better/cheaper to just go with a Dynacorn body and save the time taking the panels off, blasting everything, repairing rust damage, and reassembling, welding, priming???

[GHOSTDANCER]

Good looking progress. :1st:

[Motown 454]

Thats looking great Brian. Nice work!

[67speedfreak]

Well it's been awhile, Here are a couple updated pics.

We got the rear inner tail pan in and the trunk drop offs.

We are fitting the quarters and tail pan and you can see we started opening the rear brake ducts.
