The start of the build

Hey everyone, here's the first day, a long one at that, of the building of the car...

We started early at Joe's shop and got to work fast.

As soon as we started, we found ourselves in a bit of a pickle.

Every place we had to weld was either covered in dirt or a thick rust protecting undercoating that was quick to catch fire from the mig welder.

We cut some tubes, tack welded them in, got the "ok" from Jay at 24 Hours of LeMons and finished up the welds.

Got the seat mounted up and place the belts in...a slight adjustment will be needed, but we took care of a lot of stuff yesterday and the tough stuff is done.

Next up, the bolt on pieces.

Here's a flury of pics from the day.

Enjoy.
