Great story and with pics of progress, makes it even better.
Hopefully, the guy has learned about the CG of a lifted vehicle for at speed, other things need to be 'adjusted' for handling.
All this together and under a set of MTR's (roughly $900??).
Then that backyard, it needs a little cutting. I'd loose my tools in that for sure.  A little frustration toss, it'll be gone..... Hopefully, for the jackstands, there are some type of 'flooring' to keep them on top of the ground rather than in it.
I really like the contrast of the white hood and grille. Tell him to add the white to the top also right along the inside that black roof top. It's really too bad that he couldn't cut the top off the white one, add a family cage, add a custom soft top, remove the windows and the track from the doors, add removal soft windows, and have a full 4-dr conv't with removable door windows.
What does he have planned for the 2dr? Suggest a trailer type setup.
Yah, CG is a little higher, but a lot of cars would have had a hard time doing what he did. ÂÂ
That's idaholwb for you. Again, that's his backyard. Thankfully most of the work was NOT done there. It was done on a cement driveway.
Heh, he thought about making it a convertible, but that's a lot of work, and might cost more than he would want to spend.  He still has the other body and frame though.
As for the 2 door, well.... goodbye was part of the deal. One reason why he's been able to keep this project cheap.
Soon, once he figures out all the parts he has, we'll be putting a buch of misc. stuff on ebay. Anybody looking for anything in particular? I'll let you know if we have it.
