    Looking good, I wouldn't paint it, for now anyway. That's cool that Midnight M*** is your time frame for getting it done.

    Stay tuned, in the next week or so, for some major annouancement about M***.

    thank you, I have my friend "big Joe" to thank for the bed, but Im afraid he will want fair market value before he takes that 455 out of his boat, so Im going to hold out for a miracle olds motor deal.

    I found a 76 delta 88 for $500 and got to drive it, reverse was out but it was an old ladys car so everything else was perfect. it was almost a shame to rip the motor and ****** out and s**** the rest but it wasnt my style. now Im lookin for a muncie 4spd and a posi rear end. I have a 67 chevelle rear end to use if I have to
