Started the 84 t-top coupe

i think we all have faith in your abilities by now judging from your past and present work, but couldn't you splice and weld in an entire front clip from the firewall forward from a donor car? bare in mind i'm no fabricator so i could be waaaay off target here (don't massacre me )

yeah, i hear that... the northeast is a bitch, ain't it? i guess if you find a 4 eyed fox with a clean front clip, chances are the whole thing is clean, then you have a double edged sword of hacking up a clean car i'm sure you'll figure it out and be winning trophies in no time haha

It you have the ability to get here to New Jersey, i know someone in Jackson with a whole bunch of fox's you could pull parts from.

Look at my photobucket folder. I build the majority of my project using parts from them. I took pics the last few times i went of the place. I was there every single weekend for 2 months straight!

More bad news, the car was literally going to fall apart...


The other side was almost as bad, here is the repair on the passenger side



The radiator support was so bad I decided to got this way.



This may require a peice from a donor car

what's worse is the fact that we were driving the car all summer. And to think about that k-member falling down and running over the thing is definately a YIKES!

Here is the repair

Just have to box it in.

Also got the inside washed and seams primed, gonna hit it with seam sealer today then paint.

Yea, Brian, I think we were all pretty lucky, could not believe it when I saw that spot where the k-member bolts to. Really don't know how it was holding on, especially with all that horsepower

Holy crap, I can't believe it was that bad. very scary knowing we cruised around in that thing.

I cant wait to see the thing finsihed terry, you are doing a great job and the reward will pay for itself in the end!

Joe, my friend,
We pretty much knew what we were in for, a little more than we hoped for, but yes, in the end it will be worth it. We dreamed about doing a foureyed t-top coupe for years, and so we will.
