Been slow spent a weekend ****ing with front glass tried to make some from an old truck but the glass wasn't quite right and fit like ass gonna have to spend the $$ on some glass no worries

I'm now dabbing in the air ride thing never done it before and was a pain in the ass to figure out as I was sent the wrong bags for the front but made em work lol. I also got the back setup just did blocks with the bag over the axle just to keep it simple.

Way more cutting than one would have needed with a smaller set of bags and wouldn't have had to screw with the lower control arm either still have to brace it some more.

Rear pretty simple 4" block bags on top.

The start of filling the whole

Had an old grand prix with a good tank. I had to make it high enough to clear the exhaust and keep the tank away from the ground. Don't need to be blowing holes in the tank from stones or anything as I do have to drive dirt roads around my place.

Excellent metal work. I love to see a craftsman at work.

 

[oldmxr]

Love to see a real shop like my Dad had and now like I have. I know whats in every one of my coffee cans.

 

[hoitink]

Slowly getting there.

Cleaned up the wheels to nice and green

 

[rockb1]

wow what a difference from the start of this build. The car is really coming together.

 

[wrecker55]

unbelievable amount of body work and fab you have done in just 2 months, the pro-studios around here would have been a year getting half as far along as you are now. I love the look you have with this car, cant wait till your done

 

[Unkl Ian]

NICE proportions.

 

[hoitink]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Now for a little vent window work

Tear it apart

Measure it up

Bend er up. No idea if theirs a better way to do this has to be a better way that don't screw up the chrome.

Check for fit

 

[Dqracer]

Lookin' great..! the cut finger healed up fast too.

 

[hoitink]

Fingers all good to go
Ht the 22lb mark on the mig wire on the car today lol.

So got my shifter in. (for some reason it looks a little crooked?)

And got my front door trim done the rear's will be fun tomorrows project.

 

[dmw56]

That is one COOL Sled. NIce work, and a lot of it, but worth it!

 

[pablo]

[hoitink]

Well made some progress today got most of my interior in - made

I'll start with the rear trim

After some hacking

And back in..

Now a little bit ta cheapo carpet

 

[hoitink]

Seeing as I don't have the patience to even attempt a head liner. I'm going to try and use this stuff It's actually for roofing which seems fitting for what I'm using it for lol

A buddy of mine had an old set of mustang seats and they fit like a glove.

now I have to decide what I'm going to cover em with.

 

[rustbucket49]

Dude, so how much time do you spend on the sled every week?? Just curious - you're either in your shop about 18 hours a day or you're superman on caffeine and steroids.

 

[streetrodman]

that is sweet

a man can do anything with a little time, some 2 stroke mix and a chainsaw.
looks great.
