Update finally, so we got the all of the sheet metal done and seamsealed except for the trunk, started to put some of the interior in. Then raised the gas tank so it doesn't drag when laid out, Shaved the trunk lock, and work on the rear door jams.











Then we had an issue with the front fenders. The wheels I have need to sit in about 1/2" more, when laid out they would push the fender out slightly. My friend Ian working on it sectioned the fender slightly, that way I could drive laid out.





I'm happy with how they turned out and it gave me a little more turning radius laid out. And these wheels are cheap and beat up, I plan on getting a different set down the road with the right offset and width., so I could always just get another set of stock fenders.

We ran into a problem when we tried to start it though. The throttle body on it was seized, soaked it gas to clean it and ordered a rebuild kit also. Hopefully I won't need a new one, trying to make it to slamfest but not sure if it will be driving by then.

Thanks for the comments, Rockstar I am going to the junkyard today in search of a throttle body and stock airbox so I will look at the spindles on the car their to see if mine are different. If the junkyard doesn't have a throttle body I'm not sure if the car will make it to slamfest as I'm also still waiting for the rest of the panhard bar parts. I might see if I can get someone to trailer it.

Are those standard trailer fenders from like Northern Tools? Cause the measurements i have those fenders where too small but it also looks like you added to them.

Your car looks good, I took some pictures of it. I rolled in with all the Explicit trucks. I took a some pics of the car today and some video, I'm going to start on the body work this week and hopefully have everything ready for paint. Heres the pics and video and a clip shot cruising during slamfest.
