Finally got a roller. Still need to install the gear box and pitman arm. Considering a new box, not interested in those quick turn ones. This will be a daily driver. Any suggestions ? I may just have mine rebuilt. Anyone have one of those pacer center caps they'd be willing to sell? These aren't the rims I'm going to run on the car, just for the roller, I lost one cap and would like to replace it. Anyway here is a few update photos. Hope you enjoy.

Was productive so far this long weekend. Decided to have the body blasted and epoxy primed, so I can see just how much damage is on the under side ( i know there is going to be A LOT). I found an old rear end for the old rusty frame, to send to the blasters. Needed to re-install the body back on the old frame. Got that done, got it in the garage, ready to strip the inside (tomorrow). In the mean time I know the underside has a lot of rust, so I was searching for a donor car. Ended up coming across a 79 malibu classic. all original (except the wheels), almost no rust at all, way too nice to cut up, it's like one of those rare barn finds. After thinking about it all day. I decided I couldn't just let it go, so a msg was sent with an offer, and I pick up it up on Tue. here's a few photo of mine back on the frame and the new one.

Got most of the interior out today, The dash, steering column and one seat belt (those bolts are a pain), is all that's left inside, got most of the trim and top off. Soon it will be off to get blasted and primed so the metal work can start. So no pix right now, but will have some more soon. Anyone know a good body man/woman in the Martinsburg Wv, Hagerstown Md, or Winchester Vs area ? Thanks!
