Thunderscrash 10 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 I'm sure everyone has seen the episode of overhaulin where they put fastback quarters in a convertible, has anyone ever done that with a coupe? I'd be interested to see what it would look like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protowrxs 111 Report post Posted July 17, 2013 This is a pretty cool thread. Love all the little and big updates each day. I actually worked on the car today and resolved the the final mock up and test for the Unisteer rack and u joint phasing. Seems like it should work now. Hopefully I can realign after I blow it part for paint and final assembly. Stephen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike65 475 Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Some more welding to the new quarter skin. A little at a time each day until it is done so as not to warp the panel from the heat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
