With other projects we have painted for money, 510 only. Paint jobs have run from $4000-$7500 depending on how intense. But the fumes are making me crazy in the head, so we might just b retiring from painting cars for awhile.

Those that know me might say i have always been crazy, yeah i know

Vic is recovering from surgery so she has not been able to help in the shop. But soon.

On with it I say

 

cut out the drive line tunnel, what a bitch this was. (cutting was ez, but welding things back wasn't)

We cut the complete tunnel from a wrecked 4 door thinking we might be able to use it. Turned out it was a bit to big at the tranny end of it. And i cut it to short wow.

Welded in the beginning of it working my way back, slowly, ended up using some of the red tunnel. Cut and trim and weld, repeat.

After a trip to P town, we got back to work and Victory is back in the game.

Finished the tunnel and ready for the sealer.

Afterward, pulled the gas tank and started cutting all the unnecessary crap out form under the cargo area.

Also made the plunge into the gas door area. I will get a lot of pics of this as we get more done.

Dropped off the goon a week or so ago, at a friends shop. I'm contracting him to do some custom sheet metal work. Atom and I picked it up last night and things look great. Completely cut the rear valance off and installed a hand made custom sheet metal pan with french ed in hinged license plate with hidden hitch receiver.

I wanted the pan to follow the angle of the rear sides of the goon, instead of flowing out at the bumper bracket areas.

check it out, these pics my buddy took

Have thought about this for years. Hoping to tow this someday
