Yeah just the first result in canada. Nascar Road racer for sale in Vernon, Bc, Price: $11,500 here's one more local. As funny as dailying a tripodding late model would be, I'd want the coupe cage anyway. Ways off anyhow

Good thing too, I've decided on my next project. I was talking with a buddy that did late model racing a while ago, and he showed me how cheap used late model circle track cars are. Incredibly fast machines with top dollar motors that can outcorner supercars on road courses, and used, these...

Tacked the quarter together with everything properly located. Tomorrow I'll drop the tub and do it all up final and then do the prep and paint for final install. Feels like i've been about to install the tub for a while now, but it seems we're finally ready. Hopefully the floor just goes...

Got the tub fitting much better. Though strangely the top door jam to tub brace only partially lines up, and I'm not sure why. Though every other mating surface lines up exactly, and i drilled some pilot/screw holes to ensure it can go back in exactly where I want it. Frankly I'm pretty...

Yeah that's what everyone's telling me. Already using zinc weld through. I'll see if I can paint up to 1" surrounding the weld seam without burning up. Might fill this cavity with wax if it doesnt' weigh too much.

That's certainly why you'd do it after. But if it does fit well before, doing it after is just introducing a terrible weakness for further rusting in the future.

More test fitting. Got all the quarter pieces playing nice with each other. (Glad i double checked, you could see my initial cut with the tape there.) Not sure if i should weld this in before or after final fit of the tub. If I do it after the tub is in, it'll be more accurate and fit the tub...

No but I've heard nothing but good things about them, and i like that they look like the stock 906 heads. price is good too.

It'd better be. I have a plan to ensure it. Still saving my pennies for it though. Already threw the firmfeel catologue at it, which should be all arriving this week. Had to spring for that junk early since i'll have the suspension apart anyway.

Got the tub fitting really well. I have to grind down some bits on the new rocker/quarter area but other than that we're on track there. The new lower quarter will need some serious trimming though. Remarkable how much the fury and polara stampings differ. Gonna patch this too. Needs...

oh wow i didn't know there were any patch panels for these things. Might have to get some for my heap.

What did you use for the floor patch?

Informative day here. Test fit the tub. It'll take some fighting later, but it fit roughly into place very well. Gotta get the last of the quarter grafted on with it in place and then i'll prep it for final install. Secondly, took the trim off the left side. It appears the 1966 body...

Yeah I just can't pull it apart until the floor is in as that angle iron is all that's holding it together. I also can't risk cutting through it into the tailgate above. What exactly i'll be welding the floor to, i'm not sure. Depends on if i can save the donor's drip rail stamping i guess, it's...

Further dispatches from mopar hell. I'm not sure if i should cut all this out and replace it with the proper drip panel from the donor. At this point the angle iron is the primary structural elementof the tail and it doubtless requires taking the tailgate off which I can't do until everything...

Fighting the last of the floor weld by weld. Sill looks healthy although someone filled some pinholes from the top with bondo. Strange. Probably going to weld the floor in first and then cut the top of the sill and patch it later from above. I don't know how tight it is to the bottom of the...

Hung the car from the lift using ratchet straps. The load is very light, it's just to keep everything square. Not sure this is what the engineers had in mind when designing the roof rack but i appreciate it regardless. Cutting out the last of the floor now, the seam it welds too looks pretty...

It is under a lift. I could ratchet strap the roof rack across the lift to take the weight while i remove the angle iron. The actual weight is borne by the rockers, the jacks are just there to keep everything square. Terrible idea but all too plausible... Also looking at the donor that angle...

So order of operations thing here, it looks like the best call is to put the tail light filler panel in before the tub as it ties into the inside of the tailgate sill. However, the original panel is underneath two pieces of angle iron. The upper one is part of the floor and coming out, so ok...

Well at this point I can't just put it all back. Only way out is forward.
