Oh yes.. putting it to good use... I had to reconstruct the whole front end after I took it off the old body... that hood is going to take a lot of work to make it fit ......

[bbcowboy]

Well, began cutting the fender wells to make room for the turning radius for the big meats .

if the cowl side pieces you removed are rust free and complete I would be interested in purchasing them.

I wish that one was complete, I cut them next to the spot welds then chiseled the rest off... there was not rust that I can think of. I havent taken the drivers side off yet. I will see if I can get that one off without damaging it to bad.

Well, it has been like Christmas at the house with new parts coming almost daily.

Just happened to see this today. You should check with Mark Schwartz at Campbell Auto, Campbell, CA. He's a friend of Chris Wheaton, has a 510 CID converted Cosworth Vega SCCA car.

Looks like quite a project.

I have seen that car, up close when it was at Chris's place...I don't know how Mark can get into that car....lol. This project is turning into something else...there has been metal removed out of the car, the front has been redesing to give me more suspension travel.

Funny you mention wondering how Mark is able to get in the car. I was told the first time he drove it on the street, it is a plated CA car, it took him a half an hour to get out!

[hammerdown7]
