Great work Jake, nice re-route on the headers!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.
I take no pleasure in saying it, but the pandemic may be what creates enough free time in life to finish the bodywork, paint this thing and get it on the road. I've been fitting panels here and there as time permits and here's what we have so far. Hood gap is even but the hood needs to come back about 1/16." The driver's door is a little better now than the pictures show, and closes better than those of the old Pontiac sitting next to it. But I need to add a little HSRF to the bottom to tighten up the gap. A reasonable amount of filler is needed to get the hood, cowl and doors to match. The hatch glass is tight in spots but nothing that some sandpaper can't fix. I'm actually looking forward to doing the filler work and giving Slick Sand a try, having never work with that type of product before. I was expecting another nightmare after how much the headers and side pipes needed to be re-fabricated, but this has been pretty easy by comparison.

Nice Jacob,
Good to see your back at it. Hopefully you’ll get a lot more done in this “down time”
Keep posting those updates.
