Picked up some sport seats

Not quite period correct but they'll be great

Hinge post

Got the replacement piece for the driver's side hinge post ready. Took longer than I expected to get it separated from the donor section. I need to figure out how high to cut. Don't really want to go above the lower hinge area or the door might be a pain to line up correctly. But, the back of the hinge area is rusted. I'll tackle this whole area after floors. Alignment should be fun.





Donor sections:

Floor Boards

Almost ready to drop the floor boards. Finished welding in a frame to provide some support once the floor boards come out. That will allow me to do the repair work to the inner rockers before moving on to the outer sheet metal. Not pretty, but it came out okay. Have most of the spot welds cut (seems like hundreds) and now need to cut the forward section.

Pedal Cluster

Finally pulled the pedal cluster and it's badly pitted so the search for a new one has begun.

Back to work

After a break over the holidays and too much time looking for a new job I finally got back to work on the car. Pulled the gas tank after finding huge amounts of rust in the gas. Striped it to bare metal and it's off to a radiator shop to be boiled and resealed. Will also replace the fittings and likely the hard lines once I pull the floor boards and get into the tunnel.

Picked up some headers on ebay - going to go without heat, also looking for a sport exhaust (thinking about doing a 3 outlet rally style).
