      Not much but started removing the rust on the frame. Currently removing the scale and painting the frame by section with POR-15. I will be topcoating it with semi gloss paint.

        Not much has happened with the project. Life and school have made things a little complicated in trying to find time to work on the car. To try to make things better, I decided to go another route. I was able to find an 03 Mercury for 800. It runs and drives fine. The idea is to get everything from the 03 and put it to the 92. So, Hopefully this year should be the year the car is back on the road.

        Also, the 302 that was built for this car went to my 2000 Crown Victoria. It runs and sounds great.



        Should hopefully keep bring updates on the project. Really want to get it done.

          Haven't posted in a while. Want to try to become more active. Got the body removed and have the frame free. Had my uncle come to town, and he helped me get the mercury body on the Newer frame. Everything lines up relatively easily. Now I will have rack and pinion, abs, watts link, and a working air bag.

            Some more pictures of the progress. Got most of the HVAC conduits in place and pedals. Got the doors lined up and driver fender. Need to install the passenger fender.

              I think you are the only one I've seen to do this without a lift. That's dedication man. Great job so far.

                        You are correct. 71 Chevelle. Helping out a friend. He bought the Chevelle and its a basket case. Carb was bad so he decided he wanted EFI. Finished the conversion and noticed the brake lines had splices. Currently working on those. Front brakes were shot. Replaced the rotors and pads. Accelerator pedal was missing the peddle. A lot of small things.

                              Some more progress done today. Was able to get the dashboard in. This thing is heavy. Didn't remove anything. Left everything together to prevent from losing bolts and items.

                              Got the Passenger panel and header panel in. Need to make brackets done for the header panel. Now comes the fun part. Welding and making harnesses/soldering cables.

                                Ah, so he bought the shiny paint. A lot of those cars seem to be really bodged together.
