Widebody metalwork complete!!!

This past Wednesday night we had a super productive workday. We had a few things on the agenda. 1. Finish our rear suspension work by re-installing the drive shaft. 2. re-install the clutch slave I "borrowed" for my daily driver a few weeks ago. 3. Work on our "TOP SECRET" experimental project. 4. Finish the metal work on the passenger side quarterpanel. 5. get the car started after about 3 months of sitting.


Unfortunately, Jimmy was stuck tightening the drive shaft bots with 2 adjustable wrenches... Thanks Jay, for bringing my tools back ;)


We got a ton of work done because there were 4 of us working on the car at once. After installing the Drive-shaft, Jimmy Aaron and Jay tackled our "TOP SECRET" project, while i jumped on the final cutting & welding of the quarter panel.




Once we finished, we threw the race wheels on it, and quickly lowered it off the jack-stands. That's when the camera phones came out!


Check out the stance on this thing, I can't wait to roll it out of the shop and take a look at it from a distance!



We even propped up the rear bumper with some empty beer bottles :)




I just want to thank the Jay, Aaron and John for coming out and helping Jimmy and I.

Nice to see that Jimmy still hasn't learned his lesson on shop safety. You're going to lose a toe one day buddy! Nice Sandals!!
