Thanks, almost done, have that shock tower seams to weld and the other side to gusset, the rest of the parts coming soon. Found out you have to have your pullies covered in Ohio, friendly cop told me that today, didnt have my proof of ins or registration with me, NO TICKET! guess he just wanted a closer look at the car, said he hadnt seen one in a LONG time.

Looking good. Very original with those shock tower braces.
Do you think you could re-size your photos though please? Those of us with small screens ( ) would appreciate it. You can do it though photobucket. and it makes scrolling through the thread a lot easier.

You have some monster welds there Birddog I would cap the bottom of the end braces. It for sure looks stout, no doubt about that.
In photobucket you can put 640 X 480 as your default upload size and for the pictures you have now just hit the edit button and resize to 640 X 480 and you won't have to change anything here it will automatically change the size here as well. Thanks for your effort and especially for posting pics of your baja and work.

Ok yall, like I said I spend most of my time on the "other site" but trying to be more active here. Got a new Tri-mill bobtail exhaust coming to get rid of the crazy exhaust I have. All the parts to finish my front end rebuild are coming too. Dont laugh, bought JC Whitney ball joints and som cheep monrowe shocks, budget ran low. Did some work on the spare motor, all cosmetic. The car will be painted New Hollend yellow with a ford blue stripe and red stripe when done. Sorry for typos and rambeling beer got me tonite.
