    Thanks all ... Yup ... March of this year ... This car was discussed back in either November or December of last year because it was on eBay. The owner trailered it down to my house in GA about 3 weeks after the auction. I must admit that starting with a rust-free car makes all the difference in the world ... I'm trying to dig up the email address of the guy I bought it from so I can show him. I don't even have his name because he just gave me the Title from the original owner ..

    WOW isn't even the word...

    but, I'll say it as well... WOW!!!

    5 months is goes by fast. You MUST have had
    everything collected you needed before building.
    I'm finding out you are right about gathering up
    all the parts first.

    I've changed my mind and plans three times since
    I started on mine. If I would have stuck with the
    original plan, I would have saved alot more money and
    would be almost done. BUT, I'll be happier knowing I'm
    going to do it the best way the first time and not have
    to worry about saying "I wish I would have done this or that"
