Catching up!

Wow how time flies. I started this blog a long time ago with the intention of chronicling the Mach restoration. There are two problems with that. One, I have made very little progress on the car in the last 7 years since my daughter was born and two, I haven't blogged about the things that I have accomplished on it. So, here's a catchup.

Things that have been completed

  1. Both full floor pans (except the trans tunnel weld, more on that later)
  2. Both torque boxes
  3. Both front subframe extensions. I had to patch the end of the front frame rails using the convertible reinforcement brace to have metal to weld the extensions to! I will get some pictures of that later
  4. Subframe connectors with X-brace. Those are pretty sweet!
  5. Cowl repair (will post pictures)
  6. Passenger's side engine compartment panels

Things that need to be done

  1. Passenger's side engine compartment brace
  2. Install new front crossmember and radiator support (already stuck in place)
  3. Driver's side engine compartment panels
  4. Complete trans tunnel (installing a Tremec, so I may need to lift it)
  5. Both rear quarter panels, outer wheelhouses (yes, ouch!)
  6. Taillight panel, trunk brace, trunk floors
  7. Passenger side rear frame patch
That should keep me busy for a while still!
