Sooo slow on this resto. But yesterday I was able to see a wee bit of progress.
You might notice the fender wells all had angle iron reinforcement everywhere plus the top armour plate should have been able to withstand a nuclear blast.
The left side still needs a bit of work. All I had with me was my cell phone for photos. The upper well or top is metal from Florida Tac, and yes we had to rework the entire piece. It’s not a clip and fit piece.
This section has it all, the top fender Florida Tac. The centre section of the well is original the bottom tail light was made by Sheldon. Just a little trim and it fit like a glove.
The the entire back from RapCo.
The above pic is the NOS part from RAPCO. Supposedly it was to reconvert the 825 into a standard vehicle.
I still have enough to keep me busy.
These few photos don’t even begin to show the amount of work that has been done. At least it’s much closer to standard now. I’ll get it done.
