    A while back i posted some pics of a 71 Mach 1 me and a friend are biulding for a local guy.Well after 6 months of evenings and weekends it's finally painted and all the mechanical work is done.Now it's reassembly time.I threw in a pic during the restoration.

    Looks good (y)
    Now the stressful part of putting it back together and delivering to the owner without damaging it.

    Yea it's been a big project.It started as just a paint job and then turned into engine,suspention,interior,etc,etc...The guy is great to work with,he will buy anything it needs.He admits he can't turn a wrench but loves the car.I'll post pics if you guys are interested as the project comes to a end.We have about 5 cars on the go along with our own.Man i'm going to have to quit my day job if this keeps up.
