I really dig the look of this thing. Enjoy.

Finally had a little time today. No point in a trans raise if you don't plan to drop the rear.... rear is back down. Also removed the windshield, silicone, and all the spray foam. Lower corners are rusted through so that is going to be next on the list

much better! Glad to see the car is finally in good hands.

Not a whole lot to show yet. Rebuild kit is in route, cases are split and cleaned, picked up some rust free doors... slow progress

61JitterBug · Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2014 12:06 pm Post subject:

Finally had some time to get some small stuff done.... stripped the rear decklid down

Also started stripping the engine compartment

61JitterBug · Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2014 12:08 pm Post subject:

Picked up a 61' tank from Liberty and she is also now stripped down

Case is back from machine shop so the rebuild begins

Just a random shot outside
