I wish I had taken more photos to document the off-season refreshening of my car. Here's what I do have.
First job is to strip off the old body.
Straighten the reusable sheet metal.
Update the rear suspension to 4 link/Z link
Remove the trans and rebuild it.
New footbox, dash, and sides (doors, quarters, and sail panels)
Weld on a new front bumper
 
Right and left ball joints and spindles will be replaced, notice the bent spindle arm in the above right photo.
That's all I have for now. I'll post more when the roof and hood go on and when I'm re-doing the front end and setting the geometry.
It's not HOW fast you go, but how you GO fast.

Bucky,
Are you driving both a sprint and a mod this year?

That's the plan. I'll have to see how long I can hang and how long the money lasts!
