    figured out how to post pics. Here is shot of the current garage. garage_original.jpg

    here is one of the car... need to finish rebuilding the suspension and paint the body before I can put it back together.

    Here is the color that it will ultimately be painted onto the trunk lid. It's John Deere Blitz Black tractor paint lol. Only $35 a gallon!

    I gotta get this thing at least done enough to be on the road so my 'rents can have their garage back.

    -yea... I can't paint it in the garage anyway. I'm at my parents house so I have to get it to the street and paint it there. My upper arms should be here on monday so I can put my suspension back together. thinking paint on tuesday if it's not raining (y)

    I'll post all of my before, during and after pics once I get it painted and on the road. Over the next couple of years I'll probably take everything apart piece by piece and get it "right" so I'll be on the forum for a while. It's soon to be my daily driver. - well take everything apart except the transmission. I'm kind of hoping that just lasts as is forever. Transmissions are intimidating.
