wow man it's really getting somewhere. I could never imagine doing all that ourselves. I think if we did it would take years to finish. My hat off to you for all the hard work.

Thanks orocker... I appreciate it! I think that it is going to slow down though because the heat of summer is on it's way in!!! And I don't have A/C in my garage...yet...

This makes me glad I bought a car that doesnt have any major rust, then again how many cars have a lot of rust in the southwest?
I can't wait to get home and rip my car apart, I'm quite sure I wont need to do any major body work like FlightMechYJ68, most of my time will go into stripping paint, smoothing out the firewall, and rebuilding the dash. some stuff will be out sourced like the subframe, engine build, paint and powdercoating. I'm planning on taking welding and body work classes at my college, hopfully i'll get some major work done before I get deployed again.

Umm, yeah... I never really took a metalworking class so much... HOWEVER, I do have complete metal/machine shop at my work that I practice on all the time... As far as welding goes, I did take a class on that and it was very benficial... If you do not have the time to take a class, get the lincoln welders guide book or any other book like that... They are helpful and can make a good welder better...
I think of it like gluing metal together with molten metal...and it is flippin' cool too...
