Wow so you have a hell of a lot of skill for someone in college with not formal training. I know formal training isn't everything but guys with your talent have been doing it for a long time. Props for your hard work. I look forward to seeing your progress.

He can be a dick but I have respect for his cars and fabrication skills.

Did the bottom and the inside of the drivers door today, Just have to make a couple patches for the outside and weld up the trim holes then I can re hang the doors and fit the rockers.

after I made a replacement bottom.

Stripped the paint and epoxied it.

Stripped the old paint off the drivers door.

and this is why the doors rot out.....

after cleaning it out and patching it.

After patching the bottom, welding up the trim holes, and fixing some huge dents.

and some epoxy primer.

Now that the door was done I could rehang it and do the rocker. I had to massage the 1/4 panel to match the contour of the door.( I still have to finish it but I will once I do the bodywork.)

gaps all set and nice.

I ran out of time so I couldnt do the other side, however once I come home again ill do it.

some more inspiration.

 

[1967eleanor]

Came home for Easter and decided to do a a little work. I wanted to get the other rocker done but did not have enough time. So I expoxied the trunk that I stripped/shaved and put a coule hours in getting the gaps nice and it fitting properly. Im pretty happy with the results.

pulled the parts car body off the chassis so I can start to build it. I was gonna start stripping some of the crap off of it but it was just too damn hot out. I picked up a 5.3 with 60k on it along with a 4L60e trans Motor should be here next week at sometime. I will prob be ordering the front susp/ bags in the next week or two.

 

[Speedylifsavr]

Awesome build....I cant wait to see the progress.

 

[1967eleanor]

picked this up, its a 04 5.3 with exactly 60,000 miles on it. I will clean it up and most likely do a small cam, not so much for sound but more for the power increase.
