this is how she arrived, not bad, he already had someone do the door post and floor pans, which they did a great job!!

 yup, strip out the engine, tranny (needed to be rebuilt) and t-case (needed the pills taken out for twin stick), strip out the shafts and the fuel tank, ready to get cleaned and coated!

 cleaned up and coated, looking good!!!

added a 3.5" suspension lift, reduced the 3" body lift to 2" and added new shocks and flares. of course, the body lift almost always has to be modified to get a straight body line, and yes, before the cage is made to fit!! also added new door hinges and aligned everything up!!
 

 while the engine was out he wanted to clean it up a bit, it still ran great so now was the time to make it look purty!

 cleaned and sprayed the engine comp and put the massive 2 bbl power plant back in!!
 love the smell of herculiner in the morning...

 cleaned, "de-pilled" and stainless steel twin sticked from JB fab (nice!!) added to a fresh rebuilt c4, life is good!!
  ripped out the dash for a refurb/ paint and wiring repair while i'm there.. He has a column out of a 78 chevy van, I thought was odd, but turns out to be common!! Tim also wanted his instrument cluster rebuilt by Kevin at classychassisrestoration.com he really did a great job!

Tim wanted the original plain dash to keep the old school look and a relocated key switch, in wimbeldon white,  no prob...

shot the interior, gotta love the nice look and serious waterproofing!

 
 fresh dash with new dash overlay and cleaned up switches and bezels, cleeeeean babay!! fab'd and installed a family cage, and installed the corbeau seats and brackets. these are the low side corbeau's very nice, but they do require some mounting mods to get them to lean back, otherwise they sit almost straight up. no big problem, just a little heads up!

ahh, he couldn't resist...the new ford racing valve covers!!! it looks faster already!!

I'll be finishing his rig this week and update, thanks for looking!!!
