  4. Body has come a long way; super straight fenders and rear tail-pan. Great job on the trunk gaps too!

    Heck Steve, it sounds like pretty soon you'll be moving into the clean part of the rebuild. Cool beans! If that ain't progress I don't know what is!

    Nice progress.
    Was taking another look and noticed your ingenious body levitation. Good work.
    Whatever works, eh Steve?

    Thanks! The Z grip is bondo!

    Thanks Bill ! Hows the mopar coming along??

    Thanks Eli !I cant wait to get the body back on the frame, I dont feel much progress seeing it in a million pieces lol!

    Thanks Ricky! Actually its feeling better than last year, and Ive cut back on the meds too, unfortunately my right arm is really giving me alot of grief , tendonitis gets pretty bad ,whole arm throbs from the shoulder to the wrist of coarse I am right handed too :(

    Thanks

    Thanks Farmer ! If I had any money it would be a little further along...instead of whining that I have no money and ignoring the project I have been able to find a million things to do to it that dont really involve spending any cash. I started a little to do book and jot things down in it to do, feels good to see some of them crossed out and done!

    Thanks Fitzee!

    As long as my insanity is not influencing you :D

    Haha if I had only known this about 3 yrs ago!:rolleyes:

    You like that eh :p? I didnt really have the space for the body and frame during the winter so I figured this would give me enough room to work underneath, it did the trick lol. As soon as I get the front end assembled I will separate them and get the motor /trans and other rear end installed so I can start on the chassis plumbing and see if I got enough crap around to cobble some kind of exhaust together. I havent had the dough to renew my photobucket account yet so you guys will have to be patient for a bit longer for some pics. I tried some with the iphone but I kept getting an image error :mad:

    Ryan said there is a new app coming , that may aid in pic processing and it's at no cost.

    If there was ever a car I would have written off as too far gone to do anything with, it would have been this one. Absolutely beyond amazing how you have saved it and how it looks today. You certainly deserve a lot of respect for the way you have stuck to working on this one, I would have thrown in the towel long before this.

    Thanks Dave! How have things being going for you??

    If I tried to mess around with the pic hosting and screwed up this build thread i would never hear the end of it lol!:eek:

    Thanks Don ,much appreciated!! If I was a little smarter I would have realized this too :p I often think that if I had just stuck with the original plan of the more door year round beater I would have been driving it for a couple of years now lol! I will hopefully start to reassemble some of this puzzle soon !

    Thanks eh! Set up e mail notification in your subscription to the theread and you will get a message when a post is made.Sorry about the lack of pics lately , but I will have a bunch to post when I do!

    I still think you should quit...

    You've gone this far. If you finish it, then you will have to make a Duisenberg from a ball of tin foil in order to surpass it.
