I've always used newspaper... just got used to it, so why change now!  Hood and trunk lid have since been painted, no pics yet, but suspension is all getting done the next couple of days and I can really get into assembly and no more side jobs.  Need to get it rolling soon and motors ready too, its all numbers, but will be an e-headed 493, mild build, but easily over 500hp.  Should be fun to drive with the 2.76 gears that Dr Diff just finished and is sending back out.  I should be alot further along, but hard to do alone at times and stay motivated.

 :worshippy keep it going! No outside pics available yet? I didn't get mine painted this summer because of various things. Hopefully I'll get started when the spring comes again. Did you order a clutch type locker for the rear? How much was it?

Hey, good to see ya back!  I just have too much going on, so probally not outdoor pics til its a roller, which should be fairly soon.  Painting the suspension tomorrow.  Its a new locker deal in the rear, I'm not sure on the specifics, just sent a case and the owner took care of the details.
