The cage on that thinks looks better than I remember actually. ;D
Think I would just continue the theme and make new wheelwells out of dia. plate.

The only problem is the cage is not very symmetrical and some of the welds aren't so hot. Regardless I will most likely leave it in place. One less thing take up time before spring arrives.

Sure, if I find some diamond plate cheap I'll use it.

Fazzios has to have some junk pieces lying around.
I'll weld it up.

Fazzios has cleaned up their yard! There's hardly anything outside now.

Progress is slow, but I'm starting to get a feel for what needs to be done. I'm glad to see the part of the tub under the windshield hinge is solid.

Look at this rusted, rotten and rigged up mess.

Is that an exhaust clamp welded in there?

Sunday just before lunch.

At the end of the day.

Slow and steady.

This explains the oil leak. I didn't think anyone actually used those stupid gaskets.

Cleaning up the frame.

The garage is getting crowded.

Flipped.
