Well on Friday I found some time as my wife and son went shopping. I decided to try and complete the minitubs and get them squared away. Here I show you what I have left. The old seatbelt mount was rotted away and I needed a new seatbelt anchor. Here I show you how bad...
Well I finally got my butt out into the garage today. I decided since I was dead broke from buying the T56 Viper transmission I would do some of the crappy time consuming work that needs to be done but no one likes to do. I welded for the first time today. My welder has...
Well I haven’t done alot of work but I did get some stuff done on the weekend. I seam sealed most of the tubs on the inside of the car. Still have to do the outside and inner wheel wells. I then put down a good layer of POR15. I’m not even sure I’m going...
Well on Saturday, Jim and I made some more progress on the car and finished off the minitubs. The work completed looks amazing and to think we did this with a mig welder and angle grinders is amazing. Just imagine if we had the right tools… Please bear in mind the heat was killer, 90...
Well today I got done with my mock up on some hood struts and it worked, but at the same time didn’t work out. To hide the struts inside the fenders you’d need crazy struts with a ton of PSI. I tried to use a pair 90psi struts and while it holds the bare hood...

Here’s an update from today. I was able to find some time today to get the rear axle built and into the car. Laid down a nice bead of Permatex Gear Oil RTV Sealant. Specially made for rear axles! Bolted on the center section. 45 ft/lbs Installed the brakes and axles. Not a fun task...
Well I finally got off my butt and opened the rear Wilwood Dyna-lite brakes with parking brakes. Good news is all the parts are there. The bad news is the calipers do not match the fronts. The rears are actually black and the fronts are what Wilwood calls "Platnium". Apparently Wilwood changed to platinum powdercoating...
I’ve been keeping this under wraps for a few weeks while working with Shawn Mascoll of Mascoll Designs. This is a rendering of the completed look for Project EH-body. So what do you think? Joe    
Well sort of a large update today. Jim and I and our friend Steve hit up Autorama Detroit this weekend and this really got our car juices flowing. So today we worked like crazy mad men! Jim went right to work on the the minitubs. He grinded and welded and floor to the frame. ...
