Budget Build 1970 Nova

Started on the Mini-tub install yesterday. Is just roughed in on the one side for now, trying to find the motivation to go back out there today. Having never done this job… what a pain in the ass, not hard just time consuming. Have never liked body/metal work just no way to shortcut it if you want it done right. Hoping to have the car on the ground as a roller next week. We’ll see how that goes. Still waiting on my blower pulley setup that I ordered over six weeks ago, guy refuses to even give me an eta. About to call the credit card company and dispute the charges and order from a different company. I’m a former small business owner and I get it you get behind. I really don’t want to do that, but the attitude I’m getting from the owner is slowly starting to make me not feel bad about maybe doing it.
Can’t remember the last time I saw a bumper Jack or a 14” rally wheel.

Mini tubs are done, rear suspension is in. Today will pull the rearend back out finish welding the spots I couldn’t reach while under the car, clean it paint it with Steel-It and start assembling it. Hopefully will have it on the ground as a roller this week.
