Hey guys! New member here. Some of you might know me from other forums as there is only one of me with this user name that I know of.
This is my latest project.
I picked this car up from a guy whi had it listed for sale for over 4 years and it had sat for over 15 after it's engine was pulled and if I hadn't had bought it and hauled it home that weekend it was going to the crusher.
Going to be building it into a Thunder Stock Class Stock Car to race at our local 3/8 mile clay oval track.
The stripping process begins. Luckly the car came without seats or carpet so that was a bonus! It turned out to be a very solid car needing only very minor body panel rust repair and only one very small frame patch.
All the good bits saved (Switches etc.) and all fit in one small box, the rest went to the dump including the steering column with was smashed after the previous owner lost the keys.
Header panel removed and is going to be replaced with an '80 to match the car me and my co-workers built for our shop. With is a 1980 Cordoba, the door skins have been cut out as I will only need the outer sheet steel to cover the roll cage.
All pressure washed and clean.
Next step is to do some mods to the front suspension and K-frame mounts, radius the RF fender arch and start welding in the cage.
