A little progress---
«

Thought I would do a little update at where I am at with putting my car back together. It's the usual two steps forward-one step backwards. I cleaned up and repainted the motor/tranny. It was blue orig.(later production date) but I like the look of hemi orange better. Just need to get an intake,exhaust and valve cover gaskets and fire it up.
Then all that is left is I need to get a windshield put in---license and insure it and I'm on the road.
So close yet so far. I spent all the car funds I had getting it painted. And work is still not improving much (construction related). For the last year 1/2 I have only been working 10-20 hours a week so things have gotten really tight lately.
With a little patience
I hope to be done soon. I have been going to all the local car shows and the mopar/e bodies have been sadly under rated. Our big mopar show is next month so I have a deadline I am shooting for but I am getting a bit frustrated not being done with this pig yet.
OK--little rant over, here's a few pics. Doug

Looks good
I'm sort of in the same situation I spent all my money getting the car painted then I got married and progress on the car stopped I don't want to cut corners so it's taking longer then I want. Your getting close it is going to look great when you get it finished

Sure does look good. I like how you shifted the motor to the right so you have clearance with the steering.

She sure looks perdy.
There is nothing like fresh paint to get you ready for summer.

Looks great Doug,
and it sure is hard to be patient, eh ? I'm retired now and when even at my age ya got more time than money it crimps the car progress for sure.
But stay with it, each phase must come in order, like you I'm starting to progress a little at a time.
