Post My Friday night date sleeps topless!

Not much better in life than a warm night, cold beer, ball game on the radio, and completing the front end.

Engine is about ready, minus a dipstick and some T-Bolt Clamps. (Turbo Tim, check 'yo mail)

I ended up doing a lot of custom plumbing, but I think things are cleaner, and much easier to replace if needed. If you have an eye for detail, you can spend hours looking at these pics and still not see all the little things I did.

I have some paint work left yet (wet sand, polish some more), but you get the idea. Again, if you look close enough, some of the finer details can be seen here. (Greasy hand prints, plate screws unpainted, no AIR chin yet....)

Love the details.

Got some more suspension and brake work to do, then the interior, and then the paint. Should be golden in about 2 weeks.

So... who wants a ride?

Yikes!!!

That really is a beautiful car, Brian. Well done!, and glad I could help you out in some small ways.

Eau Claire isn't too far away so maybe some of us MN guys could come down and meet you.

I am heading up for a wedding that Saturday, but was planning in being in the area Friday morning. I would not have anything to do, so to speak, on Friday afternoon or evening. I would be willing to divert a little ways if some of you would like to grab a beer.

I would do it Sunday, but I have a hell of a ride home.

BTW Dan.. your cables are proudly displayed.

Your car is truly "dream material." For us, the "wet" kind. For you, the kind that is finally coming true! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
