Thanks for the update. I was just thinking about your car the other and was wondering how it was coming.

Looking really good. I saw where you sprayed bedliner on the interior floor. I did the same thing on my car.  :cheers: I see in the last photo it's "red", did I miss something? Are you painting it Red and not Yellow?

Pete,

Great car and detail work being done here.  I greatly appreciate your sharring the documentation of the build.

You didn't mention it before, but would a heavy foot (on the gas pedal) and a six pack (of carbs) have anything to do with the impetitus for starting this restoration project?

Pete,

Can you advise us whether or not you are repairing or replacing with NOS or aftermarket parts on the following:

* TA Hood
* TA Radiator & Shroud
* Frontend Suspension Components (Tie Rods, Idler & Pitman Arms, etc)
* Interior Soft Parts (Seat Covers & Headliner)
* Frontend Parts (bumper, etc)
* Wiring Harness & Fuse Box 

Just trying to understand how original (or not) you are going to go.

Thanks
