    Wow, great to see you are getting it knocked out. In for the following your completion.

    I understand the length of time completely. Have had mine since 84. Not a basket case and still is not done...

    Last one for a while....This is where we are now.  Well almost, we are just a LITTLE bit farther than this but not much.

    Wiring harness is 100% in and the motor has been started.  Everything is hooked up all the way back to the 3.55 sure grip. The tranny is from Coan racing ( 727 ) built specifically for the motor.

    As you can see we went with a aftermarket suspension and brake system.  We installed the Hotchkis TVS and wilwood disc brakes all the way around.

    Cooling system is from Be Cool ( Radiator and fans )

    We have to hang fenders, doors and hood next and put the windows in. Then get the stripes on her.  Interior appointment is in april. So we have time for some tidbits until then   :ylsuper:
