    I can't wait to see what this car turns out like. :) Just wondering, why did you cut the right side shock tower different then the left?

    I understand what you are talking about, I also have a job that keeps me busy, and my car is not at my house yet. (It's living at my in-laws right now and it is a 45 min. drive to get any work done on it.) I have been doing mostly mechinical stuff (tires, brakes, shocks, etc.) Stuff that is not even worth taking pictures of. :) It's tough when you are doing alot of work and not seeing alot of change. I know it will all be worth it soon.

    years and years ago someone was going to put a 351m into the car and hacked up one side (pass side) of the shock towers. i cleaned their mess up the best i could but im going to cut my driver's side about the same way so that both sides will match when i weld them up. what a mess.... :rolleyes:
