Looks like it is coming along really well. What is the target time frame for painting? Can't wait to see it in FC7 again.  :popcorn:

He has been answering threads as far as I see. I think he is still under the weather, he was sick a bit ago.

Still sick but in Mexico at least
 I took a couple of pix 10 days before Christmas , all the paint is off now , all the sheel metal is here & the body shop does Excellent work & moves fast , I have been told it should be painted by the middle of Feb , I expect closer to the end or mid March , something Always shows up or slows you down LOL
 I have most of the parts I need now , still working on headliner material , the stuff Dayley told me about is not even close so stay away from these guys http://www.stockinteriors.com/headlinerfabric.asp
 the engine is being machined now
 seats are out being recovered as well
 suspension parts are being blasted some I have already done other parts & need to get out & blasted & will probably be powder coated 
 still trying to figure out how to handle the rear bumper , I maybe should have bought the one on Ebay it was only $160 , but it would have been over $400 buy the time I got it here , the local guy wants $300 but the work is not the best
 rad has been rebuilt & the heater core tested good
may build a 3.7 Dana for it
just working through all the sub parts so they are ready to go back on as soon as I get the body back

Let me look but I bet I have an extra rear bumper you could use as a core Neil. I will let you know tomorrow. None of mine are perfect by the way, they all have dings on them.

Cool , mine is perfect no dings ever , but the water running off the trunk has worn away the chrome in the corners so it needs redoing
 Thanks

And if AL is running low, I can push them out of the Rotors I took off.  :cheers:

 the front rotor ones are different
 I can get them locally for $2 each

the seats are done & look great
i have spent the last 6 days cleaning & detailing almost all the the parts for the car
 I hope everthing will be ready to bolt on by the time the body is in paint & back in my hands  :2thumbs:

re-inforced the K frame strenghtened all the welds  & added the Skid plate to it tonite & welded the LCA as well
 got the springs apart so the hangers can now be powder coated but found out I need a set of outer wheel houses now  :banghead:
 I will take some pix of the K frame tomorrow & will get some pix of the seats in a week or two as they are 100 miles away
