well I'm hoping to have it on the road in a month or so just have to wait for the weather to get a little warmer so i can paint it. as for starting i need to order oil cooler parts still. after i do that i can put the intake on and start the car up.

[Jeff]

today all i did on the car was caulk the gaps in the metal and rubber coat in the trunk well and under the trunk well.

What did you use to clean the underbody? I should really undercoat mine.

i used a wire wheel on a drill to get loose stuff off and clean rust. then i use denatured alcohol mixed with some water like 2/3 alcohol 1/3rd water in a spray bottle and wipe it with a rag.

Ha will do if im around still

Im finishing rubber coating the rear half of the car today nothing interesting going on at the moment.

[Jeff]

finished rubber coating so i can put the subframe in. i hate the rubber coat it sticks to everything and it smells very bad.

[KaiserRolls]

at least you got it done!!!!

[Jeff]

yes so it should be dry enough tomorrow to put the subframe and differential in.

[Jeff]

so i found some old pictures of the interior of the car when i first got it and just wanted to share. i know my thread is all over the place but it mine! i was in wow when i saw them and compared it to how it is now.

[Jeff]

i got the subframe and differential in today. i need to get a wheel bearing before i put the trailing arms in.i found a bad one that i didnt even notice.

[KaiserRolls]

coming together nicely Jeff!

[Jeff]

thanks mitch!

That painted subframe and undercoating looks real good! I think I would have kept the diff cover silver but it looks great nonetheless

[Jeff]

I was thinking rhe same thing after i put it up in there.
