A Wonderous Homecoming!!
« on: November 16, 2004 - 01:03:56 AM »

Well... as of 3:20pm CST, the 'Cuda resides in my garage again... and from then on, work started!!! Got my wiring harnesses in, my battery relocation kit in, my 3/8" fuel line in (for the most part), my new stainless rear axle lines in, got the rear drums gutted for new parts, got the speakers sitting in the package tray, engine wiring in and ready, still working on brake lines but those are coming along...

If this much progress happens everyday (I know it won'!), she'll be done by the end of the month... LOL!!! Wishful thinking, I know... but, here's some pics, because worthless !!!!
