Finally have some new pictures to show all- Red is home!

Other features incorporated in her to help do away with some of her weak areas: Rhino Hide both inside and for undercoating completely through the floor area and the underside. Weighs way less than the undercoating that came before. I do not want this thing rusting out again!

Likewise, new frame ties take the stress out of the body so that the doors, hood and trunk will continue to close nicely. The fellow did use my spare parts to advantage- all of the body work is in metal with just a smattering of filler where needed. 4 coats of clear bury the rally stripe so that is can't be felt.

Nice job making the matching cutout for the dual exhaust- now just have to arrange the fuel tank to take advantage of it.

Also on the plate and being reconditioned to go under is a 8.25 SureGrip with the 5x4.5 bolt pattern and 11 in. drums- 2.71 gears for highway work. . .and 11 inch discs from the same car for the front- all hung with PolyGraphite bushings. Hanging front and rear sways as well- kinda going for a rally capable suspension to justify that stripe!
