Looks great Seth! What motor and tranny are you going to run? Can't wait to see pics of it installed.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Steering shafts all done. Pretty tight in there. I was a little nervous about it.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
There is a support right above the center joint, bolted to the frame.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Some more progress. I got the inner fenders all mocked up and ready to paint.
Also got the core support a fresh coat of black.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Inner panels painted and installed. I wasn’t going to get a new washer bottle, but I may now.
Rerouted the wiring behind the panels and then to the bottom of the core support. Trying to keep engine bay as clean as possible
