nice looking car, like the wheels! Mines almost ready to drive. Picked up a rear muffler section last nite and a center consule. Should have the hood and stuff painted in time to go to a local rat rod show my bud is putting on...ill be almost together. Still waiting on the suede to show up in the mail to finish the door panels, and ill need to paint the rockers and such. None of the radio will be installed until i can get rid of my belts and get some harnesses, and i need to still have the templates for my dash plates sent to the waterjet guy to make some aluminum covers.

alrighty, been a couple days. Got the consule installed, suede showed up and the g/f finished the doorpanels today! got everything painted tonite except the rockers and valances, oh, and my quarters which need to be resprayed since the tires were rubbing slightly and burnt the paint off the lips of them. 
that all should be done tomorrow, along w/ my bronze shift bushing, and new linkage cover to keep da dirts out. Almost there! And to think, sunday i have 200 miles to drive leading a group of porsches!
a pic of the car at my buds show, had to put on the primered hood and trunk. Ran ok besides the tires rubbing.

for those who havent seen it in person, pictures just dont do this car justice.
