Silverchally,with the weather coming our way,this is where we get left in the dust and farmboy pulls ahead . kind of like a hemi cuda lining up against a gremiln and a pinto 

Nice work dave your moving along well!   

I got a nice woodburner in the garage with a pile of logs!  But no way I can keep up the pace, been a month or so now and getting burn out!  My goal is Carlisle too, but it better be done before that!

Not a race, true, but my motivation is trying to keep up with you guys!

Exactly, im loosing motovation. i have no garage. I'll maybe put the inner fender in but thats it. As much as i hate it, im probably going to have to pay the body shop to fit the rear valnce and fix a few more little rust spots becuase its just to cold etc. ill fix the fenders and have the motor freshly doen up on the rebuilt k frame suspension so in the spring when the car gets back from the body shop i can put the heart back into her.

Here is some updated pictures for now, I may go back for the rest of today before the football game and finish some grinding and dolley work. I am starting to feel the pinch of the holiday season. There is a lot of distractions at this time so I think progress may slow a bit untill after the first of the year.

Forget about the football game. Our Steelers would be better off losing at this point to get a better draft pick.    Keep working on the car.  We love these update pics.

I'm going to give them until half time and then back to work if they don't show up!

I didnt even pay attention to the game, but they won   I was playing a trans am racing game online   Looking good, my welder is screwed up so no work for me

[farmboy70]

Well here are some more pictures, it looks as though not much has changed. Accually since the last pictures the boltable parts have been mounted and test fitted, almost all of the metal work is complete except for the tail light inner mounting panels and jack attaching mounts. The whole car has been touch up blasted and metal etch cleaned, over the week-end I will epoxy the whole car. The trunk/gas tank panels came in today and are now installed, they fit perfectly to the new trunk panel. I also test fitted the wheel opening moldings, the fronts fit well the rears are going to need a little quarter panel messaging to fit.

In a few days you will see something like this, a big accomplishment for me when I got that far!
Grab a gun & shoot away! Rich.

excellent work as always dave!

[SilverChally]

Well I admit defeat, I just can't keep up!   Looks great, can't wait to be done with the metal work!  Steelers won again too

[Kapteenikosmos]

I have to admit that you guys are working in pretty impressive pace there. We need to donate silverchally a new mig welder so he can catch up farm boy  No rest for the wicked!

But seriously, looks like you car is coming back together very soon farmboy. Looks very good!

[74chall]

Silver you welder broke too???Say it aint so! Mines been broke for almost a month. The motor is going, you'll be running a bead and it will just stop.Sometimes it takes 10-15 clicks on the trigger switch to get the motor to turn. What a pain, the motor is about $300! im just going to buy a new welder!

Dave,do you know where i can buy Cuda lower fender patches?

Not to hijack even further I just want to mention my cheapie Harbor Freight welder is still going strong after 3 years. I got it on sale for $159.00
