batbuilder's LP640 called "No Mercie"

[batbuilder]

The front piece of the headrest in Robs pic is completely cut away except the outside frame. Then the back piece has the two little holes and you see the back piece almost like a channel. Honestly if I did not have those pics it was hard to make heads or tails out of these pieces and i think thats why my first reaction was to skip the seats.

Here is another pic of the seat we are trimming the fiberglass to adapt to the seat. I did have a couple pics from Robs CD to use as a guide but we went way different on the cutting and attachment of this piece.

This pic shows the two arm rest side by side before we start trimming the foam.

Here is the door handle for the side door. I've been thinking about attachment possibilities and have come up with the idea of using expantion foam used for making molds as a way of creating an attachment area. Don't follow me yet on this idea as I'm not 100% sure it will work the way I plan.

The left side of the dash were the switches are didn't even have a lip. so I will have to use the lower panel lip to create a lip for the upper part

[batbuilder]

Here is a pic of the dash where we are extending the lip between the upper and lower part. Used a piece of reinforce plastic from Lowes to act as a form between the two lips. The original were so curled they were useless. With the new wider lip we will be able to screw the two parts together especially when vinyl is installed

Big day today. Spent most of the day fiberglassing dash, door panels, mirror mounts and cutting in the door handle then the big event was towing the "No Mercy" back to the house. The tow went really smooth. The bat wing flew  up one time but other than that just a smooth tow. Here's a couple pics but I'll post some soon just too late....Thanks for looking Oh also got the engine cradle back from the powder coaters..

Got buried with work for the last week but finally digging myself out of it. Hopefully tomorrow will be a day I can get some fiberglassing done. Pics to follow....Decided to try and attack that seat. was going to skip it but I think it will look good as I can get r done

[batbuilder]

Hey Tallon, yeah I have been working on the connection of the door pieces on the main door card. We are hoping to be able to tow the No Mercy back to my house. My first priority are those doors. Thats going to be crazy hard I can  tell....dave
Thanks usmc-butler. Appreciate the kind word...dave

[usmc_butler]

Looking good! 

[Tallon]

Did you find out how much of the door card needs modifying to fit the door opening yet? 

[batbuilder]

There are two different angles on the hinge assembly. Going back to pic-n-pull for some more lifts and latching mechanism, getting close to removing the body for the final welding of the rollcage. Thanks for looking...

[batbuilder]

Here are the hinge they are a little different being mounted from the end. The mounting plate is on the outside. There's also and inside plate drilled and tapped so the fiberglass is sandwiched between the two plates. Works great...That long rod is our temporary latch opener but all my latches are electric.

Here is a pic of the rear deck lid. I am making it as an opening lid so we will have access to the original fiero trunk

The seat cover removed and the foam ready for cutting
