I thought you only had half a Cuda, half rust holes.

Got a little bit more done this weekend - even in the tropical weather conditions we have had here.
I tidied up the rails, removing the engine mounts and lower control arm mounts
I've checked the measurements, diagonals are good, from the datum line to left and right rail 2-3mm difference. Do you think this will be an issue.
Little bit more cutting to do before I can box the rails and install the TCI front end.

Progress has been slow, still making some headway
Some pictures of the progress
Had to trim the flange off the chassis rails in prep for the new IFS
Welded up rails and prep with weld through primer
Removed the dash, cowls, firewall
Prep firewall
Firewall welded in
Firewall installed and a bit of primer put on.
Not a bad effort considering 38 outside temp, shed probably 48

Ozbilt, was looking to do this, but wasn't sure how. Will give you a call to discuss further.
Dwayne, I will talk to Ozbilt about this too.
These are "must do' jobs.
It's great going through this forum for all the great help and ideas you guys come up with.
Cheers
Roger

awesome effort. Played golf (poorly) this morning and wilted in the heat here in Brisvegas. Got home and the lure of the A/C was too great - a nap and the cricket instead.
Cheers

Couldn't agree more
I just wish this forum was around when I was doing mine, would have done a number of things differently.

Ants, can you PLEASE fast forward the avatar- suspense is killing me.
Nassi, I swear she moved the other night like you said.
