some of you might remember this car we picked up last spring, Rusty was a fitting name. Started on it, here's some pics...

Messed around with some 93 cobra rims cause I had them and tried a new look on the hood and grill.

And now the hard work begins...






Gonna be a long winter. Got some subframes welded in more pics for ya this weekend, Next is mini tub.

You could have used the Fred Flinstone method to stop with those floor boards.

Mini tubs... it should be a nasty car when you get done with it.

How did the new pans fit? i passed up a capri that needed pans because I was afraid they would fit like chit and be a pain to put in.

Got the sub frames welded in along with the cross member. Fabbed up the start of my street cage...







The doors and the passengerside rear quarter are pretty cancerous so here are some replacements we picked up over the summer



need to call Cervini here...


Picked these up, got l.e.d.'s put in and they will be sequential, thought that would be different.

Yea, I know the price on the weather stripping kit-deadly. And to Mike, the pans came from Fox Restoration. They did not fit perfectly, it took some beating to make them work.
