Back at it.... finished cleaning the fire wall and 1 coat of por down, waiting on the correct color for the door jams and upper cowl. I'll tone down the shine with a few coats of satin.
![]() We planned on notching the cross member for oil pan removal. I really like how Tim had his done for the 67 so I had my guy copy it with added Jack point and tow hook.Came out great!!!! Hope to have it mounted later this week. ![]() |

It's been a long battle but the steering is finally coming together.
The first problem I had was with the tie rods.... I planned on using the Baer tracker kit but had a problem with the inner tie rods being to long. After a lot if back and forth I decided to build inners. I'm happy how they came out. ![]() I also ran into a issue with the column being compressed leaving a 1/2" gap between the rag joint and flange. We couldn't figure out why since there was no evidence of a front end collision. I think this happened from the body bushings being so bad. I put a strap around the flange and tried to pull it out with no luck. I was able to slide the column down and everything fits great with no bind. ![]() Gonna tackle the headliner this weekend then she's ready for the chassis shop. |

Initial thinking was it would be easier to install without the cage. Since I'm doing it myself worse case it's $70 if it gets damaged....I really don't want to pull the rear glass and plan on running a 12 point so the extra bars will make the back tough. I'll cover it with cardboard and the guy doing the cage said he will use a welding blanket. |
