I have since added the delete plate that was sent to me , I guess I need to find a different fan as the one I have no longer fits , not sure why , it is the correct size but it seems like the engine is sitting about 3/4" too high now  :pullinghair: cannot get the shroud to look good enough to install , picked up the upper rad hose today for it , I of course had the wrong one  :banghead:.
 I need to connect a couple of wires under dash & install the column & dr8ivers seat next , then get the rad in place add the engine fluids & fire it up , then install the front grille valance & bumper , then the emblems & the windsheild

Looking good my man!  :bananasmi
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

 :2thumbs: Well, I've been following along all these years  :roflsmiley: so now I better chime in and say, you are not only a master talent but one patient guy. But obviously it is all paying off for you Neil. Now you realize we will not only want pics but a sound bite of the start up.  :cooldancing: And although it is well past the paint/stripe conversations...............I think it looks great, actually the colors of royality, purple and gold. And this car belongs to Mopar royality, CP the main man.  :cheers:  :cheers:

Congratulations brother.  :ylsuper:

Don't give up just yet, I notice the jack stands behind the front suspension, at least when I had mine supported there the nose seemed to sag a bit. If you get the weight of the car on it's wheels you may find the 3/4" for the fan.  :2cents:

I got the steering column in & the drivers seat installed , started to bleed out the brake system , installed the splash sheilds on th eframe rails , mounted the front tires & installed the wheels , installed an extra oil pressure guage under the dash as well , need to add the oil pressure wire as someone had cut it out of the harness in the past.
Just picking away at the final details
