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 time for a large update. I came home from work and my brother in law Jim came over. Jim takes welding and turns it into an art form. If I could weld and manipulate metal the way he does I’d be light years farther along. Here’s Jim welding the passenger side floor panel in. ...
Well I got to work a bit today with the help of my brother in law Jim. Jim’s great with metal and knows how to weld much better than me. The welding helmet had dead batteries so we only got tack welds done. Everything still needs to be welded in. We started with the RMS...
Well my rims (Boze Pro Touring) came in this week. The fronts are 17×8, 5.5" backspacing. The rears are 18×10 with a 4.5" backspacing. I was really hoping to have more of a front dish but due to the brakes and such I’m required to use this size. I purchased Falken FK452 tires, 245-45-17 for...
Well the rest of the floor has been removed. I’m thinking I’m going to use POR 15 down inside all the frame rails to go over that rust and such. Then when the new floors are welded in the insides of the frame rails would be coated. I’ve also been working on trying to get...
I told myself over the last week at work that I needed to start digging in and getting the Duster worked on. I decided if I could get a bunch of things ready for welding, maybe my welder (brother-in-law) will do some welding when he returns from a business trip. I started out and got...
Well I was bored tonight and decided working on the car, at least something was in order. So I cut out my Challenger fuel door body mount and got it ready to weld into the body. Here’s some pictures. Here’s to hoping I can mock up some more tomorrow. Joe
