    I don't think I will be able to go because there is no insurance on the car and I don't have any money at the moment to pay for it.:( Its not painted yet I hope to have it painted next year depends on my income at that time.

    Yeah that's true, you got to start some where. I really lucked out and find someone parting out his car the fenders have little to no rust a grabber hood in good condition and lots of other parts. I will show every one when I put them on and do the engine bay welding or cliff one of us have to do it and a few floor spots there's lots of stuff to go bananas over.:grpnanadance:

    New bug wash placement

    Okay so im trying to get everything off the front driver side panel so I moved the horn right behind the grill. I am trying to get the bug wash hidden or just take it out completely I would rather keep it but hide it. Tell me what you guys think about were im thinking about putting it.(y)I was also thinking about going on the inside of the fender and putting a pipe going to it to fill it up. What one do you guys like better.?

    Got the new bucket seat put in and bolted down and died black had it shim the seats up a little bit to make them level. I had to take the small air cleaner off because it hit the roof. Cliff and I think we can get around it.
