Actually the hard work hasn't even started yet. EFI programming, turbo, exhaust, NorthWest Fab Black Box. Rebuild a 205 with 32 sppline everything, cable shifters, 2 piece front drive shaft. Build a roll cage around the rocker boxes that tie into the frame, with seat mounts.

Nice progress. I need to start cutting and welding on mine again.

Ya but....that's all the fun stuff you have control over, if'n it's at some other place, you can't control it. Now it's up to you and that is the fun part. Hanging steel is not fun, that's why everyone doesn't do it

Sorry, but I would have to classify you as GU...Geographically Undesireable, just to far to travel

But, one never knows, I would like to visit the New England area. Nice scenery, good people

Never said it was easy, just fun

Well, if you happen to come this way, I'll BBQ some tips and provide some good beer, just for passing through.

Eh, Yankee Hospitality does exist, once you get outside of Yuppieville.

I have a pond on my property with good size Bass in it. I am also about 30 minutes to a couple of good spots on the Atlantic for Striper...

Are going to the Shore-ah?

vtblazer · 05-24-2008, 01:22 PM

Hoping for a break in the weather cause this thing needs to be put outside for a lot of media-blasting.

Windshield frame and 80% of the dash need attention.
Firewall as well but no pics of that currently.

vtblazer · 05-28-2008, 01:07 AM

Found more rust than anticipated but after 5 bags of media it's all gone.

Dash and windshield frame had the majority of it.

Blasted, etched and primed.

vtblazer · 05-28-2008, 12:37 PM

...forgot to post the pics of the drivers quarter.

Sanded to bare metal, etched and primed but no body work.

*FormerMember* · 07-23-2008, 12:45 PM

So, this is back in my hands now.

Heading down to NJ shortly to pick up doors, fenders and a cowl hood for it.

Then it's off for Rhino lining and paint.

I am installing the Black Box and t-case shortly.

msgross · 07-23-2008, 01:25 PM

Did you do etching primer over the bare blasted metal...?? then what primer is next (epoxy?)

I'm trying to plan my next steps on my cab. Looking good though.

jb4short · 07-23-2008, 02:05 PM

nice work Kurt
