Tore it apart, hung new quarter skins...then made a little room for tires:


Blasted the underside...made subframe connectors...installed rollbar:


That was all by the end of '03. Slacked on the car, got divorced, moved, etc. etc.
Fast forward to this fall...epoxy primed the underside, POR-15 on the floor and trunk, assembled rearend (thanks, Larry!) and as of last night, it's off the rotisserie!!
