You guys probably forgot about this build! Well there is a baby on its way! So had to finish all the Reno’s in the house. Once baby comes maybe it might slow down again, but for now I got my brother over to sandblast all the interior. It’s a start for now.

Awesome! And iv always told everyone I want to keep the old pinstriping. But I’ll make a final decision once she’s painted.
Looking good man! You will value your free time alot more now. I know i sure do now.... Lotsa late nights in the garage. #2 on the way in 9 weeks.
Gotta keep that ole pinstriping! Here's my 1977. I had to reproduce a few sections of it, but it maintains the vintage look.

Okay third week! Wife knows I need to get this damn thing done
Most of the interior is all done, now onto Random stuff. Weld old gas filler onto new quarter panels, I was about to weld it in last night but it doesn’t fit perfect so gotta do some massaging.

Back to work ! Gas filler is tacked in.
now onto transmission hump, just the one side was rusted out.
heres my half ass fix.... I guess it’s not that bad, it’s the fitment back onto the 40 that’s not too pretty I’ll post that later tonight.
I’ll post that later tonight.
...but once I throw some gasket in there she will seal just fine! This will never be seen, so that’s why I slacked off lol- Thread starter

Finding a home for where the rear seats and roll bar will live forever. Started out by putting seats in, they still had the one bolt hole on the upper edge of the 40 so I have an idea of where it might go. Then just put roll bar over top of seats, gave it a pretty even spacing all around. I also still have the scap fender top so that gave me another good idea of where it goes.
heres my idea of what I wanted my fender brace to Look like. I never saw what other people were doing but this is what I came up with, but I am a newb so maybe this is a bad idea lol
ou la la, it was very nice to actually be able to weld beads. Unlike all the damn tacks I’ve had to do( damn thin rusty steel) I’ll weld the brace in under the fender later today. OH and my reasoning for the bulkyness of this brace, was to maybe protect us passengers in a rollover.
