Thanks Joe, Fixed it, man am I quick.

Of course it helps when you have a brand new front suspension from a previous abandon project, that just needs washed and a couple of touch ups on the paint. 😀

I didn't think that hole was right, but it almost looks like it was purposefully done. I thought I better make sure.

Thanks Troy. The job wasn't finished. Check my mega-thread for new pics.

What's your schedule looking like for your car? What else are you planning on doing this year with it?

Been watching, on my off moments.

It's all ary right now, moving slowly forward, but several bumps that disrupt what I thought would happen. Goal is to have chassis back together ready for the body. The body timing is out of my control.
