    Seems like this has taken forever. Been working on this off n on for seven years. With lots of help from friends on the stuff I knew nothing about and learning what I could on my own was both frustrating and rewarding at times. Last Saturday 3 of my buddies came over to help with cam break in. Even with a lot done to get here there is still more to do. At least at this point I can back it out the garage n take it around the neighborhood. IMG_0878.JPG IMG_0891.JPG IMG_1066.JPG IMG_1075.JPG IMG_2211.JPG IMG_4981.JPG IMG_6095.JPG

    Wow, look how far you've come from when you first started. You sure did that 2dr body justice.
    You've done what only a very very small percentage can do.

    Thanx, the 32 grill was never a consideration. This is an original body so wanted to keep it that way

    The seven years would have passed with or without you working on your hot rod. You are doing what they used to put on report cards when I was growing up: "Uses time to good advantage."
    Very nice and tasteful work. Looking forward to more progress as you finish it!

    Be careful or the tuners will copy that wheel style.
