Pulled the body back off yesterday and finished welding the underside.
Hauled the body to a friend's garage temporarily, since I'm just working out of my single-car garage. Now I will concentrate on getting the drivetrain finished up. Quite a bit to do there, but I enjoy doing most of it. Going to just clean up and re-gasket the stock 302 that's in there now and build my other one this winter. Need to also install the hydraulic throw-out bearing, make sure it's properly shimmed, and plumb it to the clutch master cyl. Will also run fuel line and get the rear end finished up; brakes, axle bearings, etc. Have a little finish work to do on the exhaust and will have a driveshaft made.

Stripped the chassis down to the bare frame, finished some welding, and cleaned it all up.
Painted it today, but taped off the outside of the rails. They'll be bare metal until the body is ready for paint, then will paint them body color. I used Zero Rust brand paint, recommended by NoSurf Jay. It is similar to Por15, but about half the price. Sprayed two coats on and it lays on pretty thick, so it'll take a little while to fully cure. ![]() Also completely cleaned, assembled, and painted the rear axle. Rebuilt center section with new 4.11 gears... ![]() Pressed on new bearings - thanks for the help, Jason! ![]() ![]()
