Had a bunch of pics and some free time. Check out the car, its a work inprogress. What do you think. Also, what color do you guys like. I was thinking of a light green, almost silver looking color. Or, a tangelo orange color.

i like what you did with the radiator support, how difficult was that to make? Are there many parts that bolt to it, or is it pretty much just a flat metal piece?

WOW, you've got some MAD fabrication skills! I love that you didn't hold anything sacred. If you didn't like it, you went in there and changed it.

What kind of fabrication tools do you have access to? Are you a body man or a machinist?

I'm looking forward to the rest.

Nice! Not only is it going to be unique and look great, but with that new motor it looks to kick some a$$ too

Yeh looks nice, I especially like the cleaning up of the body, welding seams, door locks. I think this pic:

shows how the car will look when it is done, sorta lol, but the only thing on the body is the C curves on the side, and it will stand out because the paint will be smooth, and there are no badges to detract from it.

The radiator support wasn't too hard to make. But i wouldn't advise doing this unless you had some fabrication skills. The shop next to me is a sheet metal shop. So i had access to sheetmetal and his tools. Other than that, its just a straight bar, square tubing with two pieces of sheetmetal cut to size on each side. Then two more pieces on either side of the radiator on top, but these pieces have bends on the ends. The only thing that needs to be bolted, or welded to it is the hood latch. But that radiator only cost me 200 bucks, griffin aluminum dual 1" core radiator.

Everything i'm doing is pretty much my first time. The only skill that i have is i'm very handy and good at working on cars. Dads a mechanic, which taught me to be one. The machining, welding, sheetmetal, i'm actually learning as i go. O, and doing body work too, and this will be my first car i paint, so keep your fingers cross and wish me luck.
