    If you can call it that. Its slowly coming along. Got most of the firewall smoothed except for the needed holes. Made and welded in the shower tower filler panels. Replaced the section under the old battery tray where it was rusted. Almost ready for epoxy primer, filler, then paint the engine bay. Still have to modify the lower a-arm mounting brackets but that shouldnt take long once I have the spindles here to make sure everything lines up like its supposed too.
    While Im waiting on the spindles I decided to go ahead and get started on the custom rear spoiler. I made it from fiberglass. Still have to make the end caps and quarter extensions. I think making new ones will be easier than making modifications to the originals. Another few days and she should be ready for the road :rofl2:
