And one with a little welding dun




A little more welding done

Nice work. Impressed you are doing it yourself. In that photo shopped pic it almost looks like a bmw.

I noticed after my front suspension mods, 255 tires, and lowering car somemore, that I was scrubbing the frame rail with the tire at full lock. Fender mods might be in my future also.

Not much to show as for progress. Just doing little cleanup work welding and sealing seams. Noticed a little rust starting from the seams at the bottom of the rear doors so i took some time to clean that up and reseal it. Finishing up the inner wheel wells in the rear took some time but are finished. Ill try to get some progress shots soon.
