Hey guys.

Just wanted to tell everyone here how grateful I am for all the help.

Here are some photos of the last few updates and where she’s at now!

Holy crap! That was completely by accident and a total miracle. These cards layed in my shop in a pile for 3 days. The fact that happened is hilarious. I swear I’m not making that up either! Wait, may have came out of their box like that!

The pink comes when she rains. Other than that it’s mostly ok now after I took a heat gun to the entire vehicle. But, hey I learned a few things so far. I will post updates in this thread. I still have to weld in floor pans and put my seats in!

However I’ll bet even tho they got scattered around, they came out of the box that way.

Wow, the poor girl was abandoned for years, probably has daddy, and trust issues too. With time and healing, the two of you will be inseparable.You should take her out and buy her something shinny.

Man,

Id hate to know what I’ve spent already. I’m not adding it all up until it’s completely done. I fear if I do I will stop 😂. It’s too cold right now to continue working on it at the moment in East Tennessee. It’s actually snowing here. I want to pull it into my shop, but I need a shop heater.

Hey maybe you know why, but on one front side the tire are rubbing, and on one side the tire isn’t rubbing. It’s like the axle isn’t aligned properly, I’ve never seen that before. Is there anything I should check that comes to mind?

Thanks!

I hear ya, it does start to quickly increase in price, while at the same time it is all paid off.

Could it be the struts / springs are worn?
