Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 6, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm hoping to have an update after this weekend. Plan is to get the front suspension buttoned up and weld some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 9, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'm hoping to have an update after this weekend. Plan is to get the front suspension buttoned up and weld some. I kinda lied. Suspension did not get buttoned up; maybe during the evenings this week. I got the area around the 95 all cleaned up and the welder set up for Rich to come over Saturday morning: The morning wasn't without its snags though, the welder didn't work. So we had to go to Lowe's to exchange it for a new one. Then the fun started. Rich started grinding back all the welds he made last year with the shitty welder and flux core wire,a nd redoing them. The day ended with the passenger side almost completely redone, almost done redoing the driver's side, and a "delete" plate over the hole for the main engine harness. Thanks again @95opal for spending your Saturday working on my car and giving the lessons in car building! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 9, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 @Psychorugby did you get any time in welding yourself?

Y'all should be getting some nicer weather soon right? Or just move to FL. Yesterday was the epitome of why we live here - 80° out, sunny, nice breeze. I couldn't make myself stay home in the garage. Looks really nice! Should be a great car when its done! Quite envious of all of these people shaving their bays! Thanks! I'd have never had the balls to do it without Rich being there. I just hope I can remember how it all goes back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of the Scott Rod panels. That 45° bevel in the corners just looks weird... plus they're expensive. I spent $30 in sheet metal, versus $250.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted March 9, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think I have enough sheet metal in my garage to do another set I know I do. I bought a full 4'x8' sheet of 20g and have used maybe 1/4 of it. I do still need to make some stuff for the engine bay - the splash shields and a radiator cover for sure.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted June 29, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I didn't get any work done myself on my car this weekend, but I did get the rear end dropped off to be built! That's progress right? He should be done assembling it in a couple weeks (he was backlogged and I told him I'm not in a hurry). Next step is to drop the K member tonight to get it to the welder to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted July 6, 2015 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 First system in the car is done! Picked up the rear end on Friday (done a week or so early)! And threw a rotor and caliper bracket on just to see what it's all going to look like: I'll be rebuilding the rear calipers tonight assuming I can find all the parts. I almost want to go buy remans from the parts store and scavenge all the parts off them then return them as cores. After looking at mine, I wish I had completely taken the parking brake assembly apart before powder coat since everything is red now. I guess you won't be able to see it anyway so I'll worry about it when I go to big boy brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds weird, but you were at the forefront of my mind when I picked it up! I do kinda wish I had cut the quad shock brackets off before powder coat for a cleaner look. Oh well. I've got to disassemble the front stuff to get the K member fixed, but I am hoping all of that is back by the time you're here again. It's starting to feel like it might resemble a car soon.
