Well i just got my first teg a couple weeks ago and im beginning to make progress so I wanted to start a build thread

This is what it looked like when i picked it up two-ish weeks ago




Since then ive been doing some purchasing and work and im here now



with new parts chillin in the basement, other than the hood

 

Yeah one is cracked one is perfect so some duct tape should hold it together til I can find another one the only bad thing is the radiator supports is bent all to nonsense so yeah I've almost got it back to shape but if I need to I do have another radiator support

 

yeah its welded in, and i dont have a decent sized tree around my house so i tied myself up to the f150 and pulled away while my girlfriend mashed on the brakes in it =] it made some progress

 

LOL.. I remember I had tried pulling out a core support on a DB that belonged to a buddy of mine. Placed tow straps around a parking lot pole to the front end and slowly pulled back in reverse. It wasnt perfect, but it got the radiator cleared enough from the engine to drive it without much to worry about.

 

haha yeah this isnt perfect either ill try and get a pic up today i should have the whole front end back on, but the picture where the front end is off is after me working on it for about 3 days trust me it was a lot worse on the positive though the radiator isnt bent too bad
