Looks good, the sideways pics are making me dizzy though :lol: :lol:

right-side up, sideways, or upside down: still a great looking build, no matter how you look at it! (I'm green with it toby!)

decided to do some more painting. It was a nice day so I decided to open the garage to do some paint removing.....bad idea

the trunk turned out good.



Started removing the paint on the passenger side qarter

and.......mud, dents, lots of them you can see where the studs were welded....what a mess





So,, time to cut the front part of the quarter out.





Go to one of my parts cars to get a quarter





but.....before I can put the quarter in...got to repair it this one had rust and mud around the wheel well







Finally get a chance to fit the new quarter patch in place










And I got most of the welding done, time to quit.....SO much for painting most of the day...ugh.....

more progress made in the wheel wells, some small rust taken care of. Pass side all stripped of paint and let the new body filler process begin. Seat brackets welded on the drivers side. A few pics of the UMI control arms and the Viking double adjustable coil overs as well. Start on them this week.

Front coil over suspension and UCA, LCA are on. Easy, but took a LONG time to get it all set straight. I love the way you can lower and raise the car.

Before



after



Some images of the suspension and coil overs









on to the passenger side and some images as I went through the installation















and the stance after I cranked them down a bit, cant wait till I get the rear end in and can adjust all 4 corners....make her low......she's a little dusty, needs a wash....

 

[tobyp]

interior for the lear seagler seats showed up yesterday. Cant wait to wrap them!









Now the old stuff









I'll keep pics coming as I get pieces covered

 

[tobyp]

better pictures of the stance and it being somewhat clean

Sweet! I always liked that seating option. The one piece airdam looks good too.
