I am glad to see you are back. I remember your car grabbing my attention because of the striping and blacked out hood and roof over the white paint. I hope you keep this theme.

I completely understand how a 50 hour work week makes it difficult to find time for the car. I have been working on my car for just over 2 years now and it seems like forever. But, I have a job and family that I need to balance my time with.

Please keep us updated...I think this is a real cool car to build!

Been quite awhile, haven't done much to the car unitll the past few days. Picked up a new to me daily driver (06 f150 lariat ) that I have been messing with doing maintenance and some repairs on. Got the suspension tore down with the help of my dad, that was nice haven't been able to do much with him in a long time. Found both sides of the frame rails under the upper control arms rotted out. Now going to pull the engine and trans to start the repairs needed.

Never a good thing to discover but there's no time like the present.

All the best in your quest. Keep us posted.

It's hard to make out from the picture but is it the frame rails or shock towers (or both) that are rusted?
