Thanks for checking out the thread. I wanted a place to put all of my pictures and document the build. I also wanted a place to ask questions and gain some motivation from other car freaks.
So quick back story... This is my first car. Bought it in 95 for $3800. Those were the days right? Complete running car, everything worked 12 bolt rearend.
Come to find out the car was somewhat of a basket case but I learned a lot working on it. Stripped the thing down in 99 to paint it and discovered some nasty quarter panel repair work. Ended up slapping bondo on it because I didn't have the money to change the panels back then.
After paint in 99 -
In 2003 I took the car apart because the bondo on the quarter panels was cracking, the valve stem seals were leaking, and I thought it would be cool to put a Global west coil over front suspension in the car.
Of course I took the car apart and lost most of the pieces and here I am 10 years later trying to put it all back together again. [s]I’m not made of money nor do I own a shop so this is just a guy building a car the best he can in his garage.[/s] [EDIT]<--- I gave up building the car and let Roy finish it. You probably aren’t going to see anything earth shattering on this car but a lot of threads like this one have helped me out so hopefully this one will do the same for someone else.
Anyway, on to the good stuff (pics)…
Back from the black hole of one shop (7years) into the black hole of another (2 years)
Home finally after nearly a 10 year journey - 10 years to get the quarter panels changed and the Chris Alston Chassisworks rear suspension installed
