Body work in progress..... It took a lot of courage to attempt some of these mods since I don't have much bodywork experience, but so far, so good.... |
|
|
|
|
| My simple home made rotisserie Made this in a couple of hours...can't imagine doing all this cutting and welding on the car laying underneath it! |
 |
 |
Driver's side floor in and chassis leg cut out Definitely point of no return!!.... |
| All done welding....for now! Both floors and chassis legs complete. Took me longer than expected 'cause my welder gave up (blew the ic board), but it's all better now! |
 |
 |
Subframe connectors Here's a closer look at where the chassis legs connect to the rear sub-frame. As you the stock frame rails end under the seats! Also a good look at how the front diff mount attaches to the tunnel. |
| Trans mount tunnel reinforcement Here I welded in a patch of 18 gauge sheet metal over the existing tunnel sheetmetal, just to be sure the tunnel could take the weight and torque of the trans. |
 |
 |
Here is the patch I made to fill in the fuel hatch This was then welded and bondoed. I am using a fuel cell, so this filler door was no longer necessary |
| The marker, antennae and vent holes filled in Patch panels welded in and bondoed. Still needs much sanding and more bondo and more sanding..... |
 |
 |
Drip rails cut out I cut out the drip rails with a cutting disk on my grinder and rewelded the roofline, then bondoed. Boy was this ever nervewracking!! |
| Before the bondo Here's the above picture before a coat of bondo! |
 |
 |
Rear body panel completely removed See the new panel below |
| The new panel before actually tacking it in place I used 20 gauge sheetmetal cut out using a poster board template and a jigsaw. |
 |
 |
Here it is tacked in place |
| Just from another angle I put the tail lights in from the inside instead from the back of the car. I plan to use some lexan sheets to glue on the inside of the sheetmetal, behind the slits, between the tail lights and the sheetmetal. |
