Good stuff Jim, I'm sure people on here will love to watch the motor/ car come together!
+1 to you.... Maybe now that car might be able to finaly pull a Bumper out in front on mine!!!! :lol:
If anyone wants to offer Jim some advice, Feel free... this is his first attempt at anything close to this large of an undertaking!

 

[cobra tom]

my advice to you is try not to get overwhelmed, rember it's suppose to be fun, write out a plan first, stick to it, this will keep you on budget. it's always amazing how quick parts add up. good luck! - tom

Just curious, but what is the reason to get both the Fenders off? Are you going down to frame?

 

[jimbzx6r]
