    No, that means the right side looks good so far! I was hoping to be farther along but surgery and a cold garage has taken it's toll on me!:mad:

    Bought a new one. Need to get pics of it up.

    Found out that it is really scary to drive a car with drum brakes over 100mph. I wont commit to an actual speed though. I was more surprised than anything else that a 40 year old engine would peg the speedometer so easily.

    Lots of fun ahead with this car.
