https://ttiexhaust.com/TTiC6573-383178.htm I'm pretty close to pulling the front end apart and I don't feel like making the exhaust twice on this car, so I just bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on longtubes. Wild overkill for a bone stock 383, even the magnum motor that it has, but...

I do want to build that stock car rolls, that'll take some fabbing. After that, why not man. Always wanted a 30's roadster, i'll just have to make my own.

Starting to fab this corner back together. The outside/rearward facing section of the tailgate sill is junk, but I can't weld a new one in with the tail gate pressed right up against there. Probably going to very carefully cut out what needs to go, and then weld it in from the other side later...

I got everything I needed off of the first donor really. The from the belt line up and C pillar forward it's perfect fine.

Hey wow this sucks! Looks like water got between the tub wall, tailgate sill and D pillar. Major surgery inbound, it's all coming out. The tailgate sill has been revealed to be nothing but bondo. And annoyingly, appears to be an extention of the d pillar wall. At this point the tailgate is the...

Began brushing the tub. came out looking like a coal miner and/or victorian batman. The hack fraud bodyshop strikes again. Complete with booger welds and failed weld wire sticking out. Though whatever undercoat they used is ******* amazing and not even the wire brush can dent it. I have to melt...

it gets worse?

I'm back in the "careful cuts to make careful cuts to make careful cuts" phase. This whole pocket is pretty bad and it's about 4 layers deep. No one piece of it is too hard to fab on it's own, but getting it apart and even just getting myself in there is not easy. The junkyard also cut up...

No OEM replacement on there that i could find. A hot roddy billet thing would be nice, but I am trying to keep this thing as factory as possible. I'd still need that super specific gasket though. Nothing left of the original. Maybe wildcat has a new one, might ask them.

Borrowed a buddy and his saw. Turns out the filler neck is not PVC, but fibreglass overtop of steel. My guess is it was leaking or damaged, and they sealed it up with fibreglass. Even after significant violence it's still not coming out of the tank. With that much force no way it's just the...

Started cutting up the left wheel tub. Had to get back to dropping the tank. Cut out all around it and started prying with the breaker bar against the panel seams. Enough force to bend the tank flange, inner quarter and filler neck head and that thing Still wouldn't come out. Then I noticed...

In like Flynn.

Got the tub in. It was a nasty fight this time, I think it warped when i welded in the final patch. So much for nice clean paint. Just as well, apparently the undercoat is very flammable when welding near it. Oh boy. Totally forgot to weld this in before hand as well. Oops. Kinda afraid to...

Good news: It's in! Bad news: It's in. Missed one bit of tape and the whole thing's gotta come out again to get it. Bleh.

Rattlecan restoration is going well. The cap matched well but it seems to turn out a little brighter than advertised. Close enough at least. I think it's finally getting welded in this weekend. For realsies this time. For what i've spent on spray paint, I should've just bought a compressor and...

Trying to figure out the pie cuts on the footwell. Is there a better way to do this? This sucks. Also i was looking at the front stub frame mounting situation. Pretty bad. So bad, I'm not even sure what i'm looking at here. We have a blind locating hole in the stub itself, which mates to...

They say 'dress for the decade you want'.

More tub progress. Been rained out the last few days, next week is looking like rain too. Hopefully I can finish rattlecaning this thing before the rains start. During monsoon season 2, I'm thinking I'll start fabbing the new footwell. I figure the best way to do it is pie cuts on a strip of...

Gettin' there.

Not C body related but here's some more parts ****. The last of my rebuild stuff for my 35 DeSoto Airflow finally came in. I've been tracking down this stuff for 2 years now. This is most likely the last set of .010 mains and rods for a 34-35 Chrysler 6. When you first saw the ring...
