    Just waiting for pistons and I should be assembling the engine, meanwhile I'll screw the rest of the car together.

    Yes: I bought it as a painted shell from Seattle last fall. Here we are loading it in Seattle last October.

    I used "rebuilders cast" on the calipers. I got the stainless trim polished up this week and the headliner in. I'll go through the dash this weekend and if I get that installed Sunday the windshield and back window will go in next week. Most of the PITA hurdles will be overcome at that point. I'm still waiting for a front bumper from AMD and pistons for the 528 but things are looking pretty good for May or June at this point.

    The 340 and 4 speed are the originals so they will be rebuilt/restored and set up for display in my "car room" in my house.
     Got all the stainless polished this week and the headliner installed. Am currently redoing the rally dash assy. and hopefully install it this weekend and the front and back windows this coming week. After that, assembly should mostly go pretty easy an hour or two a day after work.
