Rookie's First Restoration Attempt...

[stinger12]

Well, I was planning on building my exhaust system, but then I found this awesome deal on ebay for a set of hooker headers and sidepipes, already jet-hot coated. So, I am going with the side exhaust system now.:nuts:

Welded the wheels on the dolly tonight...

...I have decided to get a used one from a friend of mine...

When do you think you'll get the body? What will you do with your old one? Just junk it?

Probably in 1.5-2 months. I don't know what I am going to do with the old body yet...I still have to decide. For the time being, it is going into storage at my dad's office.

Trying to keep myself busy while I wait for the body. My L-88 hood apparently came in the other day, its getting sent out with the body. I did finish welding some studs on the dolly though, dimensions are dead on:nuts:

Just finished painting the dolly (to prevent rust). Its finally done. Turned out pretty good.

No, I'm still having the body shipped here sometime in the next couple of weeks. I'm going to learn how to do bodywork.
