    Looks great Mark. Put my roof on today too. Had to do mine twice, screwed it up the first time. It's going to the upholstery shop next week.

    Hey, At least we can say we did it ourselves even if it is not perfect. I'm really happy with the outcome so far. Gotta keep plugging away to be done for spring.

    Thank you for the nice complement. I have been following your build and have to tell you that you are a TRUE craftsman with all you have going on with that Pea Green build. Amazing work to say the least. Keep up the good work. Just wish I had half of your talent.

    Making more progress. Brake system complete and all bleed out. Last of the wiring, dome light, license plate, & W/S wiper complete. Need to hook up new E-Brake cables and put interior back together. Using most of all the old interior to get me thru the season then off to the upholstery shop late fall for a new buckskin interior. Getting close...... IMG_1333.JPG

    Wow just checking back on this and I had to go to the first page because I didn't believe it was the same car! M***ive improvements and a good example of why sometimes your ahead of the game to buy a solid built driver and scrub the WTF off it. Awesome job man

    Thanks Tim, This has been one of the biggest projects that I have dealt with. Started out being a basic paint job and turned into a full blown frame off rebuild. I don't think there has been a bolt or nut missed. But once road worthy I'm sure it will be worth all the labor that went into it. Not a show winner by any means but I will be proud of it. Thanks again everyone for the nice complements.
