Feb. 27

Day went very well. I was able to get the majority of the panels on for first fit. Starting to look like a car again. Forgot L bracket for the inner cowl to fender bolt. Progress stops again. Now I have to learn how to do body work. Filler and Blocking after final adjustments.
I am starting to think about front suspension not sure yet either TOTAL CONTROL or GLOBAL WEST. Does anyone have any advice?

Looks like grind and re-weld edge to open up gap a little.


Deck lid sucks wish NOS was cheaper. Have a lot of work to do for final fit.

My dumb ass welded the holes for the valance screws, had to re-drill.

Have gap just about right. Taking twice as long as I thought it would.

I have a little work to do with fit on the apron.

Trying to work on gaps while bolting things together.

Shelby style hood and R-Model apron. Not fitting like it did before media not sure what happened?

Putting front end together again!!

Hurt my back last week, all progress on the car is on hold for a while. But I did buy a new RDI aluminum 427 small block with 9.2 deck height, and crank and rods. Should be at least 250 hp when done.
