Here's some photos of most of the finished body panels











Replaced the steering wheel and all the hardware





Temporarily installed the rebuilt pedal box and fabricated new seat mount brackets





Roll cage and frame are getting some paint touch ups when the roof gets painted , will powdercoat the new seat brackets , just have the seat and pedal box installed so I can get it in the right place for me.

Also drilled out the rivets on the roof and removed several layers of paint and installed new rivets

so will the car be part red and part orange? or am I seeing things?

No the car itself still has to go to the paint shop ,it's easier than removing the roof as it is bonded to the frame

 

[BBRGT]

Not a lot to report , the chassis is going to the paint shop early next week to paint the roof and touch up the cage .
I bought a Eastwood buff kit and had a tech at the dealership fab up a stand for the motor , some photos of the headers after polishing , will finish them up tomorrow







What they looked like when I started



Welded up tabs for the springs to hold the collectors on and put a flange on the collector for v-band clamps for the exhaust
