That car looks amazing. Great Job I love the cars you build

Here is a few misc. pictures that got left out.
pre flipped tie rod on drivers side

flipped tie rod, angle is way better

here is the clearance issue on the pass front inner fender

after trimming

It's running and charging at nearly 7 volts took 2 generators but I finally got some used goodness to work. can't believe I didn't even try to polarize the generator with all the time I had it apart It's all good now, will be pulling the engine soon and changing the fan shroud to a non-heat unit and moving the wings up in the engine compartment for the tin to the body seal. I started on flattening the floor today, cut out the drivers floor under and behind the front seat. I made a few relief cuts in the deep part of the pan and it pounded out nicely.







This will get close to 1 1/2 in of added clearance.

Sorry, I'm not even supposed to have customers in the shop let alone someone working on their own vehicle. I already have the no heat tin but thanks anyway. As it is I have to wait until a rack clears up long enough to snatch the engine and shove everything outside until i can finish the work and slide it back in for a few minutes to slap it all together. Keeping a bay tied up is bad for business! It sucks not being able to work on it whenever I want, but that's the way it goes.

I am.. But the insurance co. owns me!

Let me count the times.
        KC,    You get hurt over there and he is big time libel . I had a lot of friends ask to work on their own "Critter's" at my shop and would have to turn them down. I have a Buddy in Va. that got sued for $150,000 over such a thing. Damn near ruined him plus NO ins. now.

Yeah, it's really too bad, I'm not even supposed to let my brother or parents in the shop area. Every person that steps foot past the bay doors could cost me everything.  I like to show people their vehicles or what's going on with them but I have to be careful with who I let out there, if they look feeble or are not at least wearing tennis shoes it can't happen..flat bottom boots or dress shoes = a near guaranteed fall especially on a wet day like today.  One of the great things about the military is the auto craft shops on all the installations.  They are a full blown auto repair shop that you could go and rent a bay per day or by the hour.  They had flat bays and bays with lifts, a complete tool room you can check out tools from like a library,tire machines,diagnostic equipment,nice paint booths and storage lots to leave your project at when you couldn't take it home.  They were great! Plus there was always someone there that had crazy knowledge and skills that would help when you needed it.  I guess since Uncle Sam already owned us there was no worries about getting hurt, but I can't even imagine what it would take to have that on the civilian side...the first time someone tried to shave their hand off in a brake lathe the whole world would come to a end, and believe me the brake lathe will be fed!!

Looking good, Rick! Glad to see the knee is feeling well enough for you to get back on it.

Cool, I'll have to stop by and check it out
