    So I was only able to get six hours in in the last two days...darn swimming pool looks to inviting on these 90* days... :drool:

    So....The firewall is complete, both sides, brake system is complete to this point, fuel system is complete....Aiming to finish the trunk tomorrow and work on exterior trim. I'm quickly running out of finished components meaning I now have to restore the parts as I bolt them on....takes a little more time....

    Is there anyway you could take a picture of where the rear shock mount up?  Mine is all sorts of ugly and I need to see what I need to swap out......

    That being said you do amazing work.  I'm very jealous.

    It might be ugly but its a '72 barracuda with a 383/727/8.75 combination and that makes it fun.

    Your rear trim panel looks great. Is it new or did you rebuild it? If you got it rebuilt, who did the work?

    I restored the entire tail light assembly including the outer trim panel on Sunday....then I installed it. The actual aluminum tail panel trim on the 1/4's and trunk is a reproduction piece, but I also had to do the "black out" on it before installing..
