Its all for cage stuff, will be same as old cab, 2 extra bars down from main hoop/harness bar area to torsion housing, so missing pieces are to allow welding it to torsion housing, will fill it in after its done and the open area around where Z bar would mount is because it also goes across under package tray to each shock tower cheers Richie

Ah, makes sense! Mine has no boot floor, just a box where it would have been between the wheel arches. Still has most of the body mount and inner arch panel and the crossmembers but has a bar further back tied into the frame horns. I'm looking forward to seeing how the cage ties the torsions and shocks in as they're pretty much free floating at the moment! I've got some ideas which might end up with some mini tubs in there too. Just need time...

Reminds me when I had mine painted and saw it for the first time Good work thanks whatever you paid it was worth it Spent today making more things white, all the small things take so long even just to sand and prep , now got all wings done, redid the bonnet as had a reaction in it, then stock decklid and lots of small stuff. then started trying to save the rear apron, the inner heat shield was rusted through, it had about 10mm of filler in it from previous repair and I had decided to do it like the old cab, after some beating, shaping, grinding etc it now is how I want it and got a good skim of filler last thing cheers Richie

It will be quite thin once I work it, but the whole area needed a little, really it needed a new apron but budget doesn't allow that

Gavin has nothing to worry about. This is more like Drag Queen Restorations. Same amount of filler on the apron as on Lilly Savage and Dame Edna's face

With a little moving, aligning and moving, then moving etc etc I got the body down onto the pan, big moment for me as it finally starts to look like the idea I had in my head

Got all the pan to body bolts in, the usual dicking around to get everything to line up but all done now so started bolting stuff back on, needed some room so bonnet went on, replaced the 2 factory springs with one single gas strut to hold it open, the springs were to strong for the light fiberglass bonnet, this seems to work better

Thanks, how's yours coming along?

So true. I also thought that Richie had a full on shop loaded with high end tools regarding what he already achieved with his cars. It also show that dedication will lead you to the top! Congrats for the work done Richie!

Congrats for the work done Richie! I dream of those tools but unless my lottery ticket wins they will just remain a dream, so have to do with hard work and a little imagination to get me through thanks for the compliment though cheers Richie

As soon as I set myself the target of Cal look drag day in May it became easy to keep motivated, and I am enjoying doing it as well which helps when its is cold or raining outside to carry on

Looks great. We have the same rotisserie as your one, only your car has come down off it now while mine has yet to go up. And we're both working to the same deadline too
