# 1115 resurrection

When I installed the Boyd's tank, I had to make a bracket holder for the filler since I have a Gen 2. I was not thrilled with it and definitely not thrilled with it being inside the trunk. So last night I got the hole saw out and moved it. Always fun cutting holes in your car... lol
Tried to bevel the top edge to give it a little less of a sharp edge look but might still need some work. Thinking of ways to maybe recess it. Might look better painted to match the body, we shall see. Attachment 206673Attachment 206669Attachment 206670

I have a very similar plan! Looks Good!

A little more work on the hood contour to the body

Took advantage of the warm day and Finished the rear swaybar today. made brackets for the rear axle housing and welded them on. Thanks to James Shaw for the suggestion of making the arms longer. I made adjustable length arm extensions for more adjustability. Ignore my welds, i'm not a welder and i'm even worse laying on my back.

I made a couple e-brake cable holders out of some 1st Gen Camaro cable holders

Bump steer kit done. Had to take 3/4" off the inner tie rod, probably should have taken a full inch but I can always revisit it if needed.

Got the hood hinge sorted out and now have a functional hood. I need to figure out how I want to "latch" it at the back. I'm not a big fan of the FFR supplied latch and cable. Also going to need a big hole for an air cleaner or scoop, it just clears the carb

Looks good Frank. Looking at that hood when it's up like that makes me think you could use it as an auxiliary propulsion device with an appropriate tailwind. You could peek through the hole you're going to cut for your scoop.

Who makes that gas pedal?

I had to stand on my head to figure out what was going on... =-)

Finally got around to attacking the power window install. Wasn't bad overall but making that first cut is a little nerve wrecking. Also had to make some brackets to move the door latch cable out of the way. My top aluminum "trim" pieces were horrible, very rough and had indented lines from the bending. Started with a 220 DA sander, then wet sand 320 and finished with a wet sand 1000. Attachment 222327Attachment 222326 Attachment 222328Attachment 222329

I had an upholstery shop make the beading up to fit between the body work and the fenders. My paint shop guys painted it matching the body. Very 'old school' but looks great on the car. I did this in 2009, and it's held up quite well.

Best wishes,

Looking great! Just wondering, have you put many miles on it yet now that it's titled? If so, how's she ride with the 315's in the rear? Any issues with rubbing the inner fenders? To get the clearance you have in one of your pics, did you change from the stock 8" springs to 10" long ones and by any chance did you change from the 300lb rating to anything different? I'm getting ready to go thru the registration process myself and I want to fix my slight rubbing issue in the rear (also running 315's) but only have about 1" left on the threads of the Koni's for adjustment.

I've got a little over 1,000 miles on it now. It rides like a brick. Yes I still get some rubbing on the outer lip of the fender, not the inner but that's due to my wheel backspace and tire width vs the fender. If I had 7" backspace I don't think i'd rub. I replaced the Koni's with QA1's. I've dropped my compression and rebound adjustments down to 1 & 1 for the softest ride possible on the street, still pretty stiff but better.
