i need to change out the lower tie bar, i have a good one from another donor, and use my orig upper tie bar so my so number matches the trunk lip, even tho that will have to be grafted into whatever i use in the back whether its or steel or amd. I have found out its alot harder to find the spot welds on rusty metal...the air chisel has come in handy too! all for now, maybe some more tomorrow evening.

all my measurements are within 1/16 of an inch, factory alignment holes line up nice, all clamped up and strapped up ready to start welding...

Holy Ding-Dang You have a pretty big project going there and a big kudo for taking it on and that much tougher doing it in cramped 1/4s. Keep the pics coming, looking good so far.

actually got to the shop for an hour or two...no fun in the cold, but I couldnt let it warm up as I didnt know i was going to be able to get out there...but once the kids were asleep...I took the opportunity. I finished welding up the inner fenders and got it back on its wheels, then popped off the cowl...drilled the welds along the firewall and the air chisel took care of the rest...which wasnt much
