work.... lol gotta make money for the next round of parts tomorrow before I go in ill cutout the other headlight opening, not sure if ill have time for anything else.

spent some time fitting the hood today, pretty happy with the way it fits. gaps are nice.I had to grind off about 1/4 inch of material from the rear of the hood so it didnt hit the cowl when it closed. I need to build up the back passenger side just a little, and add a little bit to the very...

The correct headlights came in the mail today. the numbers on the lens are the exact same as the ones used on the movie car too. size difference compared to the fogs 6 11/16 vs 6 1/4

either way its not gonna be for a while.

Id like to build a high revving 408 maybe next year.

the rear is leaf springs so they will be lower with lowering blocks, the front for this summer will be dropped with lowering springs, but over the winter when i can afford it I will be installing coilovers.

wheeled this pile out for some full body shots today.

I got my hood and lower valence today. first I wanna show one of the things that bug me on pretty much any clone ive seen. notice the difference between the movie hood and the repo hood that most people use that looks like ass. pay close attention to the leading edge of the hood notice on the...

well since my hood and lower valence didn't come today I decided to work on the headlight openings in the upper nose. started by making a template the size of the light, in this case a Tupperware container happened to be a perfect match. then traced out the template on the upper nose...

Before I could do the final bodywork on the fenders I had to scrape off the original 40 year old ford undercoating that was flaking off. Little help from the heat gun and a putty knife made easy work of this. I wirewheeled all of the surface rust off and sprayed it with truck bed coating. I...

I was supposed to get my taillight panel in the mail yesterday, I called the place and they said its gonna be another 2 weeks. I was supposed to have my hood today..... nothing hopefully that comes monday. The front lower valence I ordered a month ago, who knows when that's gonna be here.

Since my hood didnt come today, I figured I might as well put the rear lower valence on. I figured it would take 20 minutes, wrong. I ended up having to move the brackets and re weld them so the valence would sit flush on the body. gap bracket drilled out re-welded installed with...

yea the car is super straight, the front fenders arent even completely bolted on, they only have 2 bolts on each side.

put both quarters in rattle can primer today so I can start going over everything with 180 and getting all of the pinholes and deeper scratches out, then once i put primer on it at the bodyshop all I will have to do is wetsand that to get it ready for paint. since the doors only had very...

I spent about 6 hours today on the rear quarter, minus the front fender this was the hardest part of the car yet, it was very warped from the new quarter being put on. Im pleased with the final result tho.

hammered out the dings on the door and applied the filler to the quarter, tomorrow ill block it all.
