    Flipped the car over today and am finishing up the other half. (P/S) 
    Had one inch left to finish welding and Mr. Murphy said "sorry pal you're out of gas."   :pullinghair:

    On my way over to my shop, I saw a white cuda in a repair shop. I'll go over there tomorrow and take a peek. I'll post a pic of it if the owner is OK with that.

    Looks good with all the undercoating removed from the wheel wells. Your frame connectors are coming right along. Keep us posted on your progress with pictures.

    Looking good and from someone who just finished one, that trunk refinishing had got to be the worse task. As you spray inside the material comes right back at ya. Also got a little woozy while laying in there brushing Rust Bullet in the hard to reach areas. Even with a respirator there's just no air circulation. Got to be careful.

    What I did when I brushed POR15 in the trunk was rolled the car outside, stuck one of those big box fans in the trunk, and wore a respirator. Maybe it's overkill, but I've heard horror stories about POR15 and didn't want to take any chances.

    Hey TC,  :wave:  been a while, looks like you're still moving along pretty good. Glad to see you're still getting something done when you can. I haven't touched mine for a couple of months. You'll get yours done before me at this rate. Keep up the good work. P6P

    Looking good, TC!  :thumbsup:

    I'm a little confused.  The car is this thread, is it the car in your avatar or is this a different car?  :clueless:

    This is the same car. But there were some body issues. This is a paint and body that was work done in the late 80's.

    The final torque box for the passenger side was modified today to fit. I mentioned before that these torque boxes on e bay aren't worth it and for what they sell for. The one good thing about them is that they are thicker metal that the ones that fit well.

    I put in a few hours in to get it to fit right. The rain started again before I could weld it in and I had to shut down shop early. We've had a lot of rain out here and it has slowed down my progress quite a bit.

    I couldn't even force em in with a BFH  if I wanted to. But they look good now after modifying them to fit.
