    After four long years, its back up and running
    « on: December 06, 2007 - 08:44:37 PM »

    I just bought my house last january so funds are tight. The whole drive line and suspension are rebuilt and 1/2 of the body panels are completely done. Just gotta get the full quarters i got a few months back and the rockers on. Should be completely done in time for spring. Just a matter of time now. Getting the motor finally figured out gave me a real boost to get off my butt.

    It only takes a little then you catch yourself in the garage more than the house!

    Keep up the good work!

    It took me 5 years to get my 70 Cuda done and in the end I almost lived in the garage wanting to get it done so I could drive it on the street. Keep us posted on your progress and pictures would be great.

    Same color as the GT500 in gone in 60 seconds. Love the gunmetal/silver look on the E-bodys.
