Im back,,,,,,,,,My Outlaw Build

[Restomod]

Justin, its Rustoleum. The engine is about 32" wide total so I will be close on the engine shield on the side but I think it will need to be trimmed on the rear rounded corners. Have to wait till I get the trans to do a total length from the torsion bar back.

I figured the frame mounted pushrod engine tray/shelf would have to come out. It will be interesting to see if you must also alter the rear bulkhead wall and frame "cross-member" too. Keep us posted! Justin

[Restomod]

At this point from some measuring the engine should clear the bulkhead and I am hoping that I can use the original hoop mount holes. That will mean making a new bracket or modifing the original hoop.

Not much going on just getting some of the out side welding done. The jamb had been started before I got it and still needs more work. For some strange reason someone had cut two slots behind the quarter window.

Thanks for the update Brock! Maybe someone was thinking about channeling the roof? I see lots of little PIA loose end patches to do. The little nagging stuff that is so hard to concentrate on but such a relief once its out of the way. Keep at it! Justin

[Restomod]

After looking at it I think it was a strip of rust they just cut through. Yeah seems the little patches comsume the most time. I did dig a big hole in the pass side today..LOL!

[JTR70]

Thanks Brock! Lots to do and looks like the last guy got a little ahead of himself by installing the rockers and longs before addressing the holes in the end caps and closing panels that your fixing now. Keep chipping at it! Justin

[Restomod]

Yeah Justin he did but I have it almost done now just needs a little more flap disc work. Had to also fix the "B" pillar, there was only the channel holding it!
Going to install the quarter patch next. Notice the old green primer....NOS maybe??
Jeff has my harness and ecu running on his test engine. He is not sending me the whole engine but just the intake/harness/ecu/sensors.

Thanks for the update Brock. Yes, that green primer does look like NOS Porsche. Thanks for posting that video. That set-up harness your getting is really going to make your life simple. Real nice! Keep after those patches; its coming!

[Restomod]

Got the quarter patch going along good Saturday hope to have it done today.

[Restomod]

Right quarter done.....

[JTR70]

Looks nice Brock, another one in the done column! Just a suggestion, I would hold off on any primer or cover coats until you've got the metal prefectly clean. Maybe this is only temporary but its quite possible to forget, miss some only to have it bubble up on you later. Just my 2 cents. Keep at it! Justin

[Restomod]

Just to keep the freshly sanded areas from flash rusting. So close to the ocean here that stainless will rust.

[JTR70]

Oh, I did not realise you were so close to the breach (lucky). My advice comes from a dry climate were bare metal can lay in state for a year or more. Okay, never mind.. Keep up the great work!

Yeah [pretty much baseball range!! LOL! Its not all it cracked up to be.....
