Nice to see it progressing, way to improvise with the DIY spring compressor.
Thanks for sharing the pics!

Here'* some after pictures.Going to have to go with smaller rear tires.

Even with a bit smaller tires that bad boy is still going to be able to burn some rubber!

Been buying parts and getting it road worthy. Just getting turn signals working was fun rebuilding the front sockets. Bought new rear quarters, new front and rear bumpers. Finally got some mufflers on it. Didn't quiet it down much. Need to dig out my spare hood to see if it'* any better than the one that'* on it. Want to get it to my body man soon. Was thinking about painting it new a Ford blue but I think it will go back to original Teal Tourquoise (I can say it just can't remember how'* it'* spelt) LOL! Got all the interior out except front bucket seat. Didn't get the tranny changed cause of the weather changing and not having time. Been fixing the leaking 2-speed. Got pan gasket changed twice and finally got a new O-ring for the dip stick (also had to bend it a little cause it wasn't fitting all the way down inside).

Looks like a fun car.

Glad to hear there is some progress going on, buying parts is fun, I always feel like a kid on his Birthday when new parts come in.
I'd definitely stick with the original color, if anything give it some fine metallic flakes or something.
Can't wait to see pics of it when it is done, if you takes pics of any work being done, please share those as well, we'd love to see them.

Got it in the body shop. He got it torn down. Now the removal of rusted areas. Already have almost all the body panels, patches, pans, seals, bumpers.

Well....That is some serious work going on!
I bet you cant wait to get it back freshly assembled and painted.
It is going to look awesome!

It'* going to be some time before it'* done then I get to put the interior in and change it over to 4-speed.

Got the pivot bracket tack welded today. It'* the wrong clutch pivot but it'* the right length so I can get the bracket welded up while the front end was off.
