    Sent 1/4 windows to paint - bought a ton of stuff to finish interior.

    Still need to fab the dash, electrical, gauges, and need more sound deadening.

    Taking my seat frames over to a friends to have upholstery done.

    Purchased firewall rubber circle thingies :0




    Also frustrated because I rushed the body work so I am going to go back over the entire car and try to skim down on the bondo I used. The sandblaster I sent the car too ****ing warped the panels and after seeing a few guys's builds I am angry and wanting to do it right. Also going to be pulling engine, transmission, and everything out so I can clean up the engine bay. Battery tray is rusted out. Also going to remove gas tank and do custom metal work and bead work in the trunk to enclose it along with dual batteries in back, and fuel cell to have weight distribution towards rear end.

    Need to get as much done as possible, going to Seattle on a business trip for a month so will be gone. However I will be ordering tons of parts from Seattle and shipped to my house so when I return It will be Christmas in March :D

    Installed valve stem seals, putting on 4bl intake. Then off to the parts store for plugs, valve cover gaskets & maybe plug wires... Almost have the donor 302 ready for install...

    So tell me why its for SALE????? Its beautiful man. :huh:
    I would buy it in a heartbeat if possible.

    You've given me a great idea for photos for my car. Maybe I can finally get my wife involved in the car. I'm going to show her these pics. No reason we cant do the something along the same line. I mean hell shes real photogenic...... and my wife aint too bad either. LOL.
    Seriously though My wife has the looks to pull off pics like that no problem. I never thought of it before. Thanx. Looking forward to Summer now.
