Working on the underneath on the rotisserie is much better than on the jack stands and me on the creeper which is how I did my Barracuda. Three out of four frame rails were caved in, somehow the passenger front escaped the wrath of the previous owners floor jacks.  ::) on to zapping up the holes from the self tapping screws used to hold the floor pan down tight and continue cleaning up the rest of the original floor and rails.

Been a while since I updated. Underside is done and waiting for paint as it's been a challenge to find a good color match. I sprayed out my third sample today, PPG Omni Plus, and am very happy with it. While I was dealing with the color issue I started working on the engine bay.

Yesterday I flipped it over and got it on jack stands, this was before I  got it off the rotisserie and reorganized the shop.

Been working on the rear end - blasted, cleaned, painted, new axle bearings pressed on, brake lines Bent etc. Threw in a 3.23 I had that was bought used and feels good but we'll have to wait and see if it lays two nice black marks.

Back to bodywork after recovering from Carlisle, working on the lower windshield areas. I found some good used pieces to splice in which was better than buying a whole repro piece or hand fabricating them.

I also bought a correct driveshaft at Carlisle as I didn't get one with the car.
