Pre build....




This is where i am so far....

Powder coated subframe

Solid body mounts from Fesler

And I just got my DSE firewall plate welded in today







Next step is to get the firewall primed and painted, then start to assemble my frame....Ill put more pics up as the project goes

What kind of tires and wheels do you have planned? i'm guessing you will upgrade to 17+ ?

Im looking at the Boze tach and the fesler 905. I'm thinking about 19's the whole way around, but they will have to be at least 18 because of the brakes.

Ooooh. I love it when someone takes a good looking car and tears it all apart to change it.
Then I get to tell my wife "See, he did it too"!

Good luck with your build. What you've done so far looks great.

That rebel flag hanging in the garage reminds me of a Charlie Daniel's song from the '70's.

haha everytime someone new sees what I did to the car I usually get why'd you do that? or your an idiot.

Here are some updates on the car. I finished the firewall and got it painted. Right now i am assembling the front end. Check out the pics













more to come...

I ran some brake lines, sent some of my steering linkage to get powdercoated which i am waiting on now. Since then i turned the car around and took the rearend apart. I now am getting the floor as clean as i can, getting it painted, installing my subframe connectors, and getting my leaf spring brackets powder coated. Over the winter im going to save up for the prodigy or g bar and get that installed in the early spring.
