It's been a while sense I made an update. Lots of work on the body and now there is even paint on it. I haven't been working on it and haven't started on the frame. But here is what the body looked like a week ago.

Great project Tim. Almost at the "light at the end of the tunnel" phase even!
I didn't see if you mentioned it already, and I just Evelyn Wooded my way through because it's late and I'm not seeing straight, but figured I'd bring up the subject of the frame again.
Do you know what steering linkage you'll be using in the end? The '76/'77 frame you're using will dictate a custom mod or two with the steering linkage depending on what you're going to use. I figure you're doing a lot of custom stuff anyway, so this will be a very minor tweak. But curious what type of setup you'll be building?
It's not a huge deal, but with the larger trackbar bracket and the typically more popular (and stronger) "inverted-T" style steering linkages, your angles will be off if you use most of the off-the-shelf EB stuff.
Anyway, you may already have it all engineered. And you're not there yet anyway, so if not there'll still be plenty of time to work out the details.
Great how it's coming together.
