Well if all goes well with my recovery,(wich everything is going real well right now.) I will be running it on Fathers day. June 19th. I think I should be ready to run by then. I might have to get one of hernia belts and put a little padding on my seat belt. But so far everything is healing up great.

Cool man thanks. It should be a pretty tuff car. I'm hoping to get more than one run out of her. After June our local fair derby is in sept. and I hate building in the heat of the summer.

Thats my Fathers day gift also. but I get to drive. NANANANANANA. Anyway hey I started creasing today. never done it before but I have seen lots if pics, I was just wondering if this looks good. I have only got the drivers side done. I got to hot. the heat is not an old guys friend. Anyway, I am planning on folding those corners in the rear over inside the trunk. But other than that am I doing it right?

On the front I cant go no farther forward from where I stoped on acount of the rest of the fender from there forward is already mashed in from where I folded the corners over. I was standing on the trunk to drill the holes for the roof sign and I did notice that the side that I have creased holds my weight alot better than the side I have not. Its amazing that just that little bit of work makes things that much stronger.

Do you mean the bottom of the rear quarters. behind the tire. Above the tire I'm gonna cut it and fold it up and bolt it I think.

Well I guess you cant see the pass side very clear. I'll pull it out in the sun and send you a PM pic and you can let me know what you think.
