Hope you mini tubbed it while you were there, now is the best time to do so,

yes it's being mini tubbed(picked a set from dse at FT Worth goodguys), the one pic shows the driver side already installed. I'll do the pass side this weekend. I was going to do it tonight, but it's raining again so media blaster reset once again on Monday. I wanted them done before going to blaster.

This is the 2nd car I've done this way. The 1st one was a 70 camaro and was sold as soon as all body panels were installed for a offer I couldn't refuse. This one will not be sold, I already turned down one offer once the shell is finish. I love your project also kinda reminds me of a 76 vega tube car I built several yrs ago for drag racing.

Another classic saved! Thats awesome man. I also am doing all the work on mine by myself. Gotta save that coin!

Ive heard alot of people say its cheaper to buy one already done or that has a more solid foundation. I disagree if you do the work yourself. Stay motivated and it will be worth it in the end!

I met Mike on Sunday, super nice guy. When he says he's building a car...he's literally building a car.
