ak70stang 11 Report post Posted November 24, 2010 what was the color of the undercarriage? how detailed do you plan on going with your project? Well what was not rusted through was covered in rubberized undercoating. So don't really know what color. I have been following your tread closely, it has been very helpfull, lots of great ideas and paint info. My plans are to build a fun driver, but at the same time I want to do it right and detailed. And I am going to steal your subframe connectors! keep the photos coming Will do. Photos have some catching up to do, to get to where I actually am in the progress.

ak70stang 11 Report post Posted November 24, 2010 Not a bad write up. Still tossing the two around. I am going to order a complete built motor, not looking at building it, but am not going to worry about it untill sheetmetal, bodywork and paint are done. 408w sounds sweet.

ak70stang 11 Report post Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Loaded up and ready to go to blasting. After it was blasted and in a primer wash. Taking her home. And back in the garage! After blasting found some bad spots that were not seen before but not as bad as it could have been. Edited March 11, 2013 by ak70stang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ak70stang 11 Report post Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) Welding the new trunk floor and rear tank support in. Another shot of the trunk floor and the ugly taillight panel. Edited March 11, 2013 by ak70stang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ak70stang 11 Report post Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) Here is a picture of the new taillight panel installed. Didn't take any during the process though. Also got the rear spoiler all set up! Had to do some mods to the new dynacorn quarter panel. It didn't "kick up" so that the flanges met where it needs to be spot welded. This is where the quarter mets the trunk floor drop-off. A couple of slits cut, a little bending, some welding and a little grinding and it now matches the factory quarter. Getting close to welding it on! only had it on and off about 40 times. Don't worry the door is on and was aligned, aswell as the taillight extention before I cut the old quarter off.
