The welding is much much better today. I will be getting the passenger pan finalized and the seat platform prepped to put in later in the week. Truth is the darn heat is kicking my butt. I had to mow the yard before the HOA goes full Karen on me .. that used up a lot of the cooler hrs.. (excuses.... )

I got this 73 Grande about 10 days ago. The last time it was on the road was in 2022. The engine is a 351 Cleveland. The floorpans are rotten and I am going to replace them.

This first year will be about structure and safety. No real hot rod stuff at first.

I have been a BMW guy most of my life, bit this thing really caught my eye.

I live outside Dallas TX.

Hope Yall are having fun.

Great looking ride, an ditto on the block ingenuity. Good luck with the build, I just started a restore on a '72.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I thought I had replied again. There are big holes in this car, so those parts are shot.
 
Since it is almost October
. The temps are lower here. I put the car on some skates and moved it about for the next stage... plus made room in the garage..

I have seam sealed primed the topside of the floorpans and am seam sealing and bodyfilling the small gaps where the floorpans and the original metal meet. I ran outta steam and have more sanding and then priming to do, but wanted to dry fit one of my subframe connectors..
