We are making good progress on the car. We took last week off so we can get other work in the shop out. I was waiting for a little more progress to be done before posting some more photos. The quarter panel flares are just about done. The floor and rear body panels have been replaced All the rust spots have been patched, and there were a handfull. We are currently fitting all the fiberglass panels.

Here are a couple shots to show where we are. Many more to come.

The flares are all metal fabricated.



We pushed out the quarter panels about 1 1/2" along with the flares.




These are the "small" tires



Here is the car with some of the fiberglass panels getting fitted.



In a couple weeks, I hope to have a lot more progress done and photos.

Thanks for watching!
Brian

** Update **

We have been making progress with the body over the last couple months. There is a lot of little things that have to be done and they take a lot of time. The fiberglass work is getting close to being completed. In about one more week, that part of the body will be done. We are starting the final steps on the sheet metal and it may have about 1 - 2 more weeks before the car is ready for paint.

The engine just got completed and went to the shop at home yesterday. I am very happy with the dyno results. 416 CI LS3 with 611 HP and 538 TQ.

Here are a couple shots to show where we are at. I hope to show more shots in a couple weeks.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay on photos. It has been a lot of work getting the body ready for paint. We are working on the car in between regular jobs in the shop, so the process is a long one, as you all already know.

Here are some shots of where we are now. The quarter panels are finished in metal and now the "bondo" begins to complete the shaping. The fiberglass bumper is being shaped to the quarter panels to give it a nice clean look. I will post some more photos in the next couple weeks.
