Today I just stripped it down to nothing only has doors and the front guards on it now. I went rust hunting and I only found a little bit in the drivers side floor plan like the size of a 1c piece. Tomorrow i will start to do the rear conversion and if i have time start welding some of the holes up in the engine bay that are not needed. Then I need to find a good tg Gemini radiator support panel.
Here are some pictures of what I got up to today.

here are some of the pictures of what i did today i still have to grind down all of the welds and bog them to get them smooth Today I started to do the rear end conversion it is all cut off and the new one is tacked welded on there. I also started to weld up some of the holes in the bay I only have two left to do I have only welded them I have not grinded the welds down yet. I also found out that the paint for car you can just buy it in a can so when the rear end is on and bogged up I will spray some on the rear end to see what it looks likes. Has anyone put early bumpers on a late model car I am just wondering what it would look like.

here is the link

Nice.

TE round headlight front will look good.

Not many around, and in my opinion looks better then late model coupes.

Goodluck kart
