    Man, oh man oh man! Life has taken me for a journey the last year! I have been trying to keep my business and get it through a tough time. Things have changed for the better, and business is going great!

    If things continue at the rate they're headed I should be able to pick up where I left off, and really excel this build forward! Im excited, but I have to keep the grind on a little while longer. See you all in a few months with some pictures of shiny parts :)

    We may have to fill my new shop with our two projects!

    Removed the cowl. Would like to get the car to media blast and primered by end of April.

    Did you do that just for good measure? I was thinking about doing the same, mine doesn't leak and seems solid but you never know what's lurking where you can't see.

    Yes and no. I had already welded up a cowl from my first car I had so wanted to put it on, also wanted to make sure I didn't have any holes because I have a clean cowl bottom that I could use to replace any sections.

    Makes sense. I thought about smoothing mine to but I think I'll leave it as is.

    nice to see you back again. Looks nice and smooth but I seriously wish you guys would figure out how to do a hidden wiper assembly on these cars so I could just copy and paste it onto mine. LOL

    Peeled the headliner out, a good amount of mice droppings :(

    After getting it all cleaned out, I removed the seat brace on the floor. Will post pics later if anyone needs/wants them.
