The next video is up. I finished up the inner fenders and installed the shock mount brackets. I'm getting so close to having the metal work complete on this car, finally!

Solid progress there.
Definitely do not envy that work load.
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.
You are the only one in charge of your destiny.

My bad... the link is fixed now. Here it is again so you don't have to scroll up.  :cheers:

So it looks like the updated forum handles YouTube links differently. I went back and fixed the links to all the previous videos. Enjoy!

You know what? I think one of the biggest sources of enjoyment I've gotten during this series, is the growth not only in your ability, but more importantly, in your confidence and ability to take the never-ending discoveries requiring more repair in stride. That, coupled with your willingness to do the job properly, are impressive. You've developed the ability to think the problem through and then fix it. Nice work lad, nice work!  :twothumbsup:

Thanks so much Ian. I always appreciate your kind words. I was thinking along similar lines tonight while working on the car. I was looking at some of my first work and thinking to myself how much better my latest patches are in comparison.

Take care!

Time to get caught up on some photos. All my attention has been on the front end of the car. The inner fenders needed to be replaced, and sections of the frame rails needed to be cut out and replaced. Everything went smooth and I'm happy with the results.

Been watching when you first start rebuilding this car. Glad you are getting close to be done with the rust repair. Seems like never ending. Any plans to go beyond factory like sub frame connectors etc? Don't recall if you spoke about your plans for the car. Tell us more on your visions of the end product. Driver, pro-touring or factory restoration?
