3/25/2003
- Repairing hood.
|
Searched
around for quite a while to locate some
"original Edmunds factory style" nerf bars &
bumper
then I found out that "Edmunds Autoresearch"
was still in business with Jeff Wahl now as the owner.
He bent me what he says are just like the
originals and yes, they did fit perfectly.

Here
is Edmunds front bumper being tack welded. This whole fitting
process took about 3 hours. There are still many hours of
welding, grinding and polishing to go before bumper can
be sent off for plating.
|
A
good over all status picture. Front bumper has been tacked.
Right side nerf ready to tack. Working on left side nerf.
Hood fitted, ready for paint. Headrest has been mounted
- that was also supplied by Jeff Wahl of Edmunds Autoresearch
California. Axle can be seen in back of photo - that is
99% ready to be reassembled.

4/27/2003 - The rear is now complete!
A complete "Photo Gallery" which follows every
step of the rebuild can be seen by clicking HERE.
The rear is a tapered axle / Halibrand, H101. This was a
COMPLETE and extensive rebuild. The body was Magnafluxed,
threads repaired, sanded, polished, specially coated and
carefully reassembled. A special thanks goes out to Glenn
B. & Weiland for all there help with the rebuild.

|
The
rear end suspension is carefully being put in place.
| The
shocks being used here are simply to keep the rear in place. Once proper measurements
are made, proper shocks & springs will be put on. |
|
| The
car has been repainted in the same colors it wore back in 1983 - red and black. |
