    Pretty far off.. Got the floor pans ready on the drivers side.. Just got to have them welded. I would say in a bout a month or two i will have the car primered down all over and just awaiting paint. For exterior only body work i need to do is replace a bent up quarter panel.

    Well no pictures update but the motor is going in in less then a week.. ITs gonna be a sleeper(sorta)... we got an AOD transmission stall and flywheel for the motor... Then we are gonna primer it and leave it primered for a while pictures will come soon. To much rain to even get much work done.
