I have finally gotten some more stuff done to the 4 door, now that I have a job again, I can actually buy things for it lol. Nothing huge yet, but I got those Wild rides battle box, torque box reinforcement kits, a drive shaft safety loop, Lakewood 50/50 rear shocks, and I bought a 10gal fuel cell but its not here yet. I have also gotten my racing seat mounted but I have yet to take pics. The battle boxes were pretty easy to put in, just a bit of drilling, and you dont need to weld them in, but I did anyways. Some of the pics are kinda dark, but I think you can make it out.


More progress on the 4 door. 033-1
The top plates from the kit.

More progress on the 4 door. 036-1
The upper control arm mounts.

More progress on the 4 door. 038-1
Drive shaft safety loop installed, sorry, pretty crappy pic.

More progress on the 4 door. 041-1
Upper plates(Not sure if that's the correct term lol) burned in.

More progress on the 4 door. 045
Up close. Decent weld?

More progress on the 4 door. 047
I lied, I have one pic of the meat mount being made. This is the front bar for the seat mount, I welded another for the back of the seat mount, I will have to get pics of the rest of it asap.

More progress on the 4 door. 009-1
The shocks, I cant install them untill my rear end is done.

More progress on the 4 door. 40spline-spool

Once my rear end is done I will be getting these. I have paid for them we just want to have the rear end done so we can make sure to get the right length axles. This is just a pic off of their website ofcourse, but mine are 35 spline and 4 bolt.


Anyways, hopefully I will be having it on its wheels in the next few weeks. I can then start on the engine.

Thanks for looking.

I was out in the garage working on the fuel cell mount and figured I should take a few more pics.


More progress on the 4 door. 002-5
Seat all mounted, I still need to do the passenger side. I want to get those nice kirkey(spelling?) seats but these will work for now..

More progress on the 4 door. 004-1
Fuel cell hole cut. Its just sitting on a stool, so it may look alittle off lol.

More progress on the 4 door. 007-3
Rear bar for the fuel cell mount. I need to grind a bit of metal left over from the spare tire wells support so I couldn't mock the front one up yet. I need to straighten that tab up too... Embarassed lol


I should have those bars welded in tonight so I should have some pics of it all done pretty soon. I'm still waiting on the rear end... so no cool stuff yet... I cant wait to see what the axles and spool look like. Cool

Thanks for looking. Cool

Well I got a bit more stuff done to the car, I got the fuel cell mount welded in, and I also removed my trunk hinges and put pins on it. I always wanted a lift off trunk(watched two lane blacktop to many times I think lol) and any weight loss is a good thing. I also might have gotten little carried away with the 1/2" unibit, but my trunk is lighter now lol Cool

My beast, pretty haggard looking right now, but once it warms up I will be blocking it and primering and painting. I probably could have moved things around a bit so you could see the car better, but its not very big in there.....

Trunk.

More progress on the 4 door. 014-2
From the bottom, the trunk floor needs some support now so its sagging not straight across the top. Thats my next job. Smile

More progress on the 4 door. 020-2
Trunk pins

More progress on the 4 door. 022-1
Weight reduction... Cool


Thanks for looking, I hope to have even more updates soon Cool

Thanks, I seem to have killed our poor $15 drill in the process though... Cool


I have gotten a few more parts this week. Mallory fuel filter, a bump steer kit, a Trickflow diff cover, and the mount that mounts the back of the seat to the roll cage.

I am installing the bump steer kit now, I just need to buy a 5/8" drill bit tonight so I can bolt them up. I am also going to be making a mount for my fuel pump and fuel filter this weekend, I just need to buy the fittings first.

Thats it for now, still waiting on the rear end... pale
