Thanks for the update (and background info) Gary! I didn't imagine you painting the car like that after doing all that work, it's a cool design but I expected your 74 to look more stock after all that work you are doing.
Keep up the good work! Maybe you'll have it ready to drive to the Nats!
Hey thanks guy's,
The 74 in my sig picture was painted for my friend with black emron back in 1984. He sold it to me without any trim put back on.I finished it back in 1987 after the paint job. It's has a true 70s design but is holding up pretty good for 24 years old plus it's a driver. Looks great from across the intersection.  I'll be at the Nat's but with my other cars.
You guys can post all you want on my thread, love to here about your car and garage projects.
Rick if you need help getting that thing done by Aug, just let me know. I'd be glad to help, love your attitude.

Any updates? Your posts have been inspiration. Oddly, the last time I worked on my car was around May 15th. I have about 40 more spot welds and a few cuts before I can start welding the thing back together. I was just wondering how you were coming along.

Awesome Job How well does that spot welder work? Is it a 220V or 110v? I noticed that you plug welded some parts and spot welded others. Why do you do both? Do you feel better about the plug welds for strength?

Hey Gary, have you made much progress so far this summer? Haven't seen any updates in a while and wondered if you had the Chally ready to drive to the Nats?
Brad
Hello everyone,
I'm sorry I did'nt see you guys posts. I was'nt even sure this thread was still here. To answer your question, I haven't done anything to this thing since early June. I don't have any excusses other than being lazy. I just got back from dropping my better half off at the airport. She's gonna be gone for 30 days. So I am a bachlor again temporaly and I can work all I want without any distractions. So I'm getting back on it tonite and every day for at least the next month. I'll keep you posted. Here's the heap as I type.

so, needless to say, you probably won't be ready for my car this spring! that's fine, because now I'm not sure what I want to do first...body work on the car, or build a garage. part of me says build the garage now while things are slow and people are looking for work. but the other part of me says "get the freakin car done already!" ...but, when the bodywork is done...I'm going to need a garage to finish the car in!
