Got the donor car home yesterday.Had supper,a beer and tore into it.A lot of newer parts on it mechanicaly,but most of the interior and body is toast. The front came off real easy,sombody replace the fender and front bumper skipping quite a few bolts-making my teardown much easier. Score! Nice crossoverand middle pipe.Both are very hard to find in nice shape not cut and welded I will use them until I can afford duals. The power bench frame is a plus.Not working-a minus.Junk Not goona waste my time friggin with it.I ripped out the comlte dash.Pad is junk.Wiring has been hacked into.I will test switches,etc.Toss what is NFG.

Thus is what killed her.Terminal cancer..She is soo bad the left 1/4 panel flexes with the motion of the springs. Rusty is picking her up Friday.With all the parts I removed for the BoaB,and others in need,I am lucky to get 40 bux for the carcass.

Not much going on the BoaB itself. Sometimes all the leg work,parts chasing,pooter time take up the most time.It will be worth it in the end.Pretty soon I will have all that I need to finish my project. Stay tuned!

Sorry for not posting for the past while.I am having pooter problems with my internet server. Just as well since it got me off my butt and do some work on the BoaB. I cleaned up the trunk belly.Prepped it for the gas tank install. I remove as much as possible of the flash rust.There is epoxy primer under the black paint.I could have gone crazy and detailed it but nobody will see it again once the tank is up there.Plus I intend to drive the car.So mirrors at a show are not important. At least I know it is clean and will not rust out. I also painted the tail panel.Again epoxy under the sharp MM1 paint. Not show quality,but solid.No rust-out here anymore,either.The bumper hides this anyways.
LOL
