Well the Firebird went under under the knife today. It's amazing what we found. This car had already had new rear quarters installed by another shop.........

Re: 198Plus build
 

That firebird is probably going to be at least a second faster without the weight of all that bondo. :lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Yeah, but at least it's getting done right......good work takes time.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Dang!! I don't think butcher even really discribes the Firebird. :lol:

Nice progress on your truck.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Holly Bondo Batman.

Re: 198Plus build
 

It probably took him longer to butcher it than doing it the right way. :uhmk:

Re: 198Plus build
 

When I was a kid, my boss had a similar piece of Bondo like that on his desk. He had written "it looked good until it fell out" on it, and he used it as a paperweight.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Nothing much on my truck.......So here is the Mustang update pics.

Re: 198Plus build

Re: 198Plus build
 

Looks great Ronnie. Did you hang it up when you painted it?

Re: 198Plus build
 

Is it just me or is this build going in reverse.:lol::lol: #605 it's almost done. The frame looks sweet.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Frame done now it's time to install my Big Block ;)

Thanks

Thanks........No sir just flipped it over.

It's been in reverse for a long time....It's in high gear now, I'm going to try to finish it by spring......lol

Re: 198Plus build
 

I see you have your engine perches in the rear holes is that going to work out ok and what motor mounts are you going to use. I'm asking because I,m at the same point as you and installing a big block.
Thanks

My new doors from California have been shipped.........

Re: 198Plus build
 

Where did u get the doors from.:uhmk:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Craigslist.....Some guy out in California had them...............Lucky me

Re: 198Plus build
 

How much. I see there's one in Boise for 225. Bet shipping is a lot. I think I would be worried about the doors get dented. :waah:

Re: 198Plus build
 

These came from Sacramento. I wished they had been that cheap, I paid a primo price for these........Plus shipping

Lets don't talk about the doors getting dented, surely someone can read the writing on them....Dang I should have written it in Spanish :smoke:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Sorry. I've just seen what happens when they lay flat for awhile.;) I'm sure the people can read.:mm:

Re: 198Plus build
 

And then a Bus runs over them........:lol:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.

(sorry, I couldn't resist! That goes around my house for months after Christmas)
