I sure can see where I have to be careful

Boy that's a nice setup for raising and lowering the body back to the frame safely. Straps are straight, almost like the factory.
Nice job on everything you are doing.!

I have really enjoyed watching your progress. Looking forward to the next set of pics.

Great photos! You are building a super nice car and have a great record of it with these shots. When I built my engine years ago whenever I added a component I took a photo and had the box for the part in the shot so I would have a record of what I used. However, my photos are no where near as nice as yours. Keep 'em coming.

Me too!

This is indeed a Hallmark moment.

Got some pipes from Summit with the right bends to go around the trans but it wasn't until I got them that I found they weren't stainless so I'm not gonna use them. That's too bad maybe someone here would like to buy them.

jr73

So I'm gonna use these U bends I got on Ebay and try to recreate those angles then I can start getting this stuff welded up.

I have to accomplish something today so I put these on so I can say I did something tonite. Some of the few poly bushings on this car. These and the pinion and that's it.

jr73

I ended up with these I made up myself. It's what I wanted, 2.5" stainless mandrel bent. The cutting and welding continues.

Really nice work on the exhaust and other items. Nice welding job.

Congrats on the outstanding work you're doing on this truly "lucky" vehicle. I personally find it inspirational when looking at the great photos.

Thank you sir!

I actually have been working on my car but not at a blistering pace as life gets in the way and other things to fix ect. for example here in the northwoods we are all getting ready for winter and I've been putting some time into my wood supply since that's how I heat my shop and house.

Hey, we all gotta be putin our nuts away for the Winter. And that damn Christmas shopping:

Thanks Tim, I have been doing some last minute things on the motor, I pulled it back out of the frame and its back in the engine stand. My goal is to make the last few hook ups and start the motor in a couple of weeks hopefully I can put up a video.

Tim 1973

I'll be looking for it... I started mine in May, It still needs to be tuned!

jr73

Wow that right there is an exciting moment hearing it come to life. Sounds badass

Just read through this entire thread. Great progress and work ethic, JR! You are an inspiration!
