    So it was an exhausting weekend...Just need to finish welding a few spots. I'm finally happy with how it came out...and the fact that it is DONE! Here are a few pics of the progress.

    Next project is hooking up the E-Brake. My wife got me a set of Lokar e brake cables (nice and simple and should work great).

    The weekend was productive but like always, wishing I was able to get more done. The hole in the rear floor is no more and just about ready to haul some luggage:D Exhaust system is 100% done. Got all the wood back in the body and ready to start making gl*** patterns. Next step is mounting the seat belt anchors....and then...
    Here are some pics of the progress.

    Your car is looking like it's coming along quite well. It looks really neat. If you want your wife to enjoy herself, you might want to consider installing some Dynamat insulation or some other kind of insulation and sound deadener. It will make the ride a lot more pleasant.

    Keep the up the good work...
