    Thank you Gentlemen,
    It's been fun. Only time and money, which are always short. Lol!
    Shooting for high to mid eights. Motor will be a 513 with glide. Just picked up some factory pack N.O.S. lacquer paint for it. Ten dollars a quart!

    1 1/2 hours a day equals a Saturday. I work swing shift so it's easy to get something worked on every day. Finish is a rare quality that few possess. Keep after it.

    Got some more done.
    Stuck the dummy DOVE block in. Had to re-do the steering and allow for header clearance. Also got more sheetmetal in.

    Very Good. Do little bit everyday and you will be done and when you look back and be amazed at how much you got done.
