Nice rear end... I meant the axle...errr... awkward...

 

Wow, that looks really good. I can't beleive the progress you've been making in such a short amount of time. Keep up the pace and thanks a ton for all the pics and updates. Makes me happy to know that at least someones car is getting closer...

 

Looking F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C-!!!. I have another you can fastrack when you finish that one next week or two (At that rate). I love to see sheetmetal start back onto one of these projects that has been apart awhile.

I worked a little tonight getting the old inner fenderwells out and getting the rest of the rusted trunk floor cut off. I hope to finish that up this weekend and get my templates finished up for the trunk so I can fabricate the trunk and rear seat area.

But in the meantime I powdercoated the intake and put the fuel rails on it. I'm going to run it over to Joel at HRT Performance to have him do the AN lines and all.

 

Looks AWSOME!!!

I see fuel injection in the future on my car......

By the way, It's a great thing you are doing there. Most of us don't show our troops how much we appreciate them.

More updates! I got the new engine mounts and got the mockup engine and trans sitting in the car with the intake and all:


And then I finally got the old inner fenders chopped out and ground down and the new ones tacked in:



And then hit the front fenders with the grinder and found this mess. The fenders looked good from the back, but huge globs of bondo hid the horrors from the front. Ouch. Looks like more work I didn't count on, yet again.

I had some fun tonight! After much careful planning and measuring, I welded up some braces for the fuel cell to mount to and got it sitting in the car. I mounted it so it will sit under the floorboard and I can use a 45deg filler neck and fill kit to mount at the stock location. I'm thinking of going with the Jaz kit with the 2-1/2" external cap, but I'm not sure if it will fit in the stock location. I guess I can always cut and trim to make it fit, not like anything on the car is stock anyway.

Here it is, though.
