    Hi Guys - It's been awhile since I posted anything, been almost 10 years since I started the resto and nearing completion. I have visited the site daily and you all have been a great help and the site is awesome! Special thanks are being sent to Craig Selvey. He has helped in more ways than one! Put the factory stripe on the right side today and I must say after 42 years in a box they were tough but in my mind make the car ! Yes ? Stay tuned tuned guys for more pictures as I know everybody loves pictures :)

    Looks like you found a real quality shop. Though I have to ask, what's that trans tunnel from?

    Floor tile is the best. Doesn't matter what gets dropped or spills on it and is easy to clean.

    Transfer tunnel is made from scratch. My brother- in- law is the mastermind behind this car and he is a one man shop. Todd Redenshek..google him. He is truly amazing and gifted and has been working alone for over 35 years. Does it all guys. The tunnel was really butchered when I got the car and he positioned the trans in place and built the tunnel around the trans. He just makes it look all so simple its sick:)

    Well its about time you got that heap together :) I think the last time you sent me a pic of it it was still on the turn table. Good things dont happen overnite and it looks like a really good thing.

    Now its just about time to go out and enjoy all your hard work :thumbs2:
