Hi All,

I will be posting photos in the next day or two showing the current state of affairs.

I thought in the meantime I should bring you all up to date. I think that the best way to to do so is to refer you to another forum where you can find all the in progress shots.

Hope this helps shed some light on what I am doing and what has been done so far.

Hi All,

Sorry I havn't posted any updates lately, but things have been a bit rushed over the past week or so.

Work has been placing demands on my time. :-(

On top of that, my brother was in an accedent last week. Some idiot (driving when he was talking on his cell phone) pulled out in front of him (Wayne was doing about 50MPH at the time). Wayne went to the emergency room and the fool walked away. Wayne is OK, but he is going to be a bit sore for the next few weeks.

Anyway.... I digress.

Even at that we have a little work to report.

We have all the panels fit and ready to weld on the rear of the car. Also, we have found that we will not be able to just graft the 03 flairs to the quarter and have it look the way we want. We are going to have to copy the 03 design and modify it to mate properly to the 65 body.



I will be posting more in the upcoming days.

Catch you all later.

Hi All,

Well here we are as of this morning.

We have all the bracing and panels fit up for the front end. I lost a lot of time with the original bracing in that it would not clear the front wheel (when the wheel was turned all the way inboard and the suspension was compressed 100%). I will be putting the measuring system on the car and start welding up the entire fronnt structure today. I should have all that done by tomarrow.



We configured the rear wheel housings. They are the original 03 outer housings. We trimmed and formed them to mate up to the 65 quarters. It would have been much easyer to tub the rear, but that would not have maintained the "factory" look we are going for.







You will also note that I have possitioned the 65 windshield wiper mounting points on the cowl. I still have to decide on the location of the motor and linkage. I guess I will figure that out once I remove the 65 dash and possition the 03 dash and can check for clearance.
