Cant remember what I have all done but here's a few updates

1. Cleaned up the trans bracket mount and primed it

2. Installed front and rear torque boxes

3. Installed subframe connectors

4. Currently trying to squeeze putting the trunk floor extensions in before the quarter panels get torn off

5. Need to buy outer rockers and a inner passenger rocker before pulling the quarters to have those replaced simultaneously when I do the wheel wells

Rebuilt the lower door hinges and realigned the doors

Passenger side rocker has been removed cleaned up and replaced.  So now I'm currently working on the drivers side.

P.s. I hate removing these rockers from the outside, but it is what it is

I have also started to remove the wheel wells in prep for new wheel wells and quarters

[emoji2956] I was able to get ahold of some M46 scoops thanks to someone on here, so big thanks to that and I can't wait till they show [emoji2956]

[emoji991] also catch me on Instagram for more in depth and recent updates. [IG : 70cuda_steve]

Have a great weekend everyone!

Steve - nice work.

What is your impression of that Harbor Freight spot welder?  Is that the 240V version?

I have never used any other one so I cant compare, but it gets the job done... it is awkward to hold and heavy and is a hassle to get it to consistently run sometimes based on how clean the metal is, it sometimes has no issue with the edp coating and other times  I have to run some spots that are clean to warm it up to run it through it easier...

Yes it's the 240v one, and for the money it is worth it since there really isnt one in that range I've seen

These showed up today and I was unsure about having them on but now that I see them up close and personal I think I might just love them [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji3059][emoji3059]

Are those the reproductions?  Or did you source an original set? 

They look awesome!  Especially on an orange car!

They are the reproductions, so atleast they won't rust away this time [emoji23] they need a little work but I can't wait to get the new quarters on and see them on!

Are you planning on using the original color scheme?
there is a fella somewhere on here that has or can make the reflective tape that separates the body color from the black out.
