Rapid Rabbit's 70 Stang

[RapidRabbit]

Wow, 3 years and not much has changed.

Sending the car out to have some rust repair done in a couple weeks and have the exhaust system installed and 02 sensor bungs welded in.

I started running the fuel line's but want to make sure that they are clear of the exhaust before I clamp them down.

This may be the summer it gets back on the road. As long as the engine is still OK after sitting for 5yrs.

Stopped by the body shop today.

Front frame rails are done.

Rear frame rails are in, but need to welded up in the trunk.

Rear valanced painted.

Here you can see the original color on the rear.

He should be reassembling everything tomorrow. He's realigning my hood and front end panels also. And repairing around the drivers side taillight then repainting the three rear taillight panel.

Then off to the exhaust shop.

I'm pretty pleased so far. Moving along.

Looking good, like how it's progressing.

Holy crap, didn't you JUST take it to the shop? If so, these guys must be the best shop in the U.S.!

I dropped it off last Monday. They got a little backed up and didn't start it until Wednesday.

This is a little old hick town in WI.

She's almost back together. All the Frame rails are done, back end is all back together except the fuel filler.

The only thing left is to get the front bumper back on, but apparently when I bought the front brackets several years ago the sent me 2 driver side brackets. So I had to do of my old passenger one this morning.

Here's the rear frame rails they cut out.

Seriously...go buy a lottery ticket!

Looks great!

 

[RapidRabbit]

The guy doing it has been great! I couldn't be happier.

He even realigned my hood and repainted the rear taillight panel for me.

 

[Grabber70Mach]

Looking good, looking real good.

that is one sharp looking car Patrick......I can't believe you have been letting it sit this long!

 

[RapidRabbit]

Thanks guys. I really miss driving it. It's been 5 yrs since it's been on the road.

 

[Ponyman66]

WTG Pat!!

 

[RapidRabbit]

The front end is all back together.
She's a whole car again!

Now another tow truck run to the exhaust shop and another step closer to getting back on the road!
