    I haven't done anything to mine in the last few days. But in the last couple months I've finally repainted it (need to post a pic). Fixed the drivers side front suspension after it nearly ripped off the car. Got a new muffler (still can't seem to quiet it down). Bought old wheel covers. And drove it a whole lot.

    Got the rear bumper on, had to just pick the better of the two I have until after the holidays, then I can send one off to get it rechromed while I use the other to drive, also finished stripping the nasty rat nest infested headliner out and got my wiring ready to go in for my antenna and new dome light, headliner tomorrow!
    Oh almost forgot, also put the new tag on the front.... minus the "1972"

    Put on shorty headers with some buds. Also some little stuff like changing the spark plugs and spark plug wires.

    Next is carb and intake.
