I finally finished up my rotisserie, and it is ready to mount to the car. It started out as a welding fixture from work, that I scored last fall. My plan is to do as much out the body work on the lift as possible first, hopefully get the car in primer, then put it on the rotisserie.

ok.... I'll bite. What is dat?? It's for the deck lid. Since I can only get a pin on style lid, and would rather have it hinged, these will get glued to the underside of the deck lid, and the hinges slide into these like a stock lid does. Would have been much easier to just put metal parts on this car, but the weight savings will be worth it.

Wow! That looks great. Nice chassis work. Are you going to run the 4 or 5 speed Jerico? Clutch assisted? Keep up the awesome work

Thanks everyone. The trans is the same Jerico DR4 that was in my GTX. 4 speed clutch assisted.
Sure is weird seeing the car like this as it hasn't moved from it's spot in 7 years.

Got a bunch of welding completed on the underside of the car, and all the old paint stripped from the roof.

Awesome progress, and love your attention to detail. Little things like the stock floorpans incorporated with the backhalf, etc.

Keeping the stock pans were way more work then I ever thought. I wanted the car to retain as much of the original "character " as possible. Making the car a complete tube chassis, strut front, bare minimum deal, would have been easier and lighter, but just isn't my style. I have a thing for Super Stock type cars.
