    well a couple more things to knock off of the list. first, the hood is finally fit, along with the fenders, also bumper is ready to go on, and looking good. Finally got my engine painted :woohoo: looks pretty good, definatley better than blue. went on pretty good and with out much of a hitch.


    i can see i screwed up masking :faint: but i can fix that.


    out in the light

    Small update:
    turns out my master cylinder was bad and leaking so got a new one and brakes all bled. and i'm almost done the body, keep finding small things that arent quite right but it's so close. Also got my rad in, it didnt leak when it came out so fingers crossed thats the way it stays. hopefully motor will be in soon :money:

    well 75% of the body panels are ready for paint. Still fighting with my pass. fender but it's getting real close. just have to finish the fender and the hood and i'm done :bananasmi also finished my rear panels, look pretty good. still need seat covers but you've got the idea.







    dont know why the roof looks so much darker. it isnt really noticble in real life.

    My guess is the headliner probably didn't match when the car was new...

    well Its just about time now. finally dropped the motor back in :woohoo: went pretty well, all i have left before i can turn the key is to hook up the torque converter, and hook up my tranny lines/rad hoses. i thought they were coming in friday, but unfortunately no. :walkaway: headers went  in fairly easy actually, i did have to dent it around the starter and the steering box, but i expected that so i wasnt too upset.
    gettin real close now :working: :burnout:
