OK, not bad out today.Get all set up to do metal work.Fire up the welder,shes done-RIP . Shes been good to me but her time has come. its,not the contacts or the trigger switch-the motor is fried. Time for a new welder so i have to wait for some money to buy one and also the sheet metal( inner fender,lower fender repair sections). So today i took all the parts.seats,trim etc and put it in storage. Then i stripped the engine compartment of everything,got the driver side preped for the inner fender to be installed and scraped all the undercoat off the front half of the car. Also got the torsion bars out.  moving along,but slowly. Having no welder is brutal  :(

Any progress is good progress.  Guess once ya get paid for the other one you can free up some cash for this one.  Thats where I screwed up, I have my challenger and a satellite and two is just too expensive at the same time.

Inner fender is welded in. Think im going to replace the passenger side also.I need the brackets that house the two rear hood hinge bolts . This bracket goes from the inenr fender to the cowl . I put a request under "parts wanted" if anyone has one please LMK. Thanks!

Going to try to fit the rear valance tommrow.

We had some warmer weather and looks to be decent for a while, so I was expecting to see some progress.  So you got a new welder?  What bracket do you mean exactly?  I may have it on whats left of the 74 I parted.
