Title: New Thread for Chris's Car now at Home
Post by Chris Smith on 12/31/06 at 16:00:48

I spent the last 4 days tearing everything apart, cleaning, painting and replacing everything. I then Started putting it back together.

I took every piece that could be removed and pulled it off the car. Incuding all suspension pieces. I worked 12-15 hours each day for the last 5 days to get to this point to make sure it was going to be ready to be painted soon. I still have a few things I need to do to get it ready but I am going to take a couple days off from it.

Here are the newest pictures.

From the start I was worried about the rear end being too high. Now I see I am going to have to raise it a little. ;D

It is definately looking good, just be careful not to rush and make mistakes. It would be a pain to have to go back and do it again.

Was so excited. Put my Driveshaft in and my radiator in tonight. Then rob came over and we yanked the motor and tranny out. By saturday it should be more stripped than it was a month ago.

Funny to tighten that last part, then finish putting it back together. Then gut it! ;D I got to celebrate my car being back together for less than 5 minutes.
