Wow!! 2 1/2 months since my last post. Windshield is in for the last time. Battery cables run and put the seats, dash, and column back in. Going...

Finally a little color. Just the windshield frame. [ATTACH] Yes I changed it. This is the 4th time. I think I like it.

Not much work getting done due to the holiday. We did however reinstall the hemi. Then FedEx dropped off my hood 3 weeks early. Rootlieb did a...
Once again doing something twice because it's been so long since I started this build. The hemi got a new coat of paint.[ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I didn't get an engine with the car when I bought it.
Pulled the body, engine and transmission, and prepped and repainted the frame and underside of the car this weekend. That's the kind of thing that...
My shop time is shortening. I'm back to my full time job, and my hobby business is needing attention so things may slow down trying to wrap things...
I'm only running the top. The valve cover front corners stick out just enough to be a problem with side panels. The new hood is a single piece and...
I made sure when building the mount for the grill shell that it was semi adjustable so in the event I could possibly find a decent hood it would...

Working towards finishing the inside. I had to shorten the storage behind the seat because of the fuel cell. It's pretty shallow ( about 3 inches...
Today's progress was the battery box. With it complete I can drill the floor for fuel lines, and battery cables.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Painted the remaining 2 floor panels today. Then I mocked up the windshield frame for latching hardware from a model A Ford since I had no...
Didn't take any photos today but front shock mounts are in and shocks on them. Primed and seam sealed the trunk and front floor pan. I also worked...

I removed the trunk floor today due to the shock mounts being in the way. The floor originally stepped down over 1 1/2 inches so it has to go. Set...
It's been a long time coming.
After almost 10 years from starting this project, my goal is to finally finish it this year. Got the upper rear shock mounts installed and added a...
Just finished pressure washing after pulling the body. There are some changes coming to this build.

Looks like we've got alot of dust and dirt to get rid of. Pressure washer here we come.
I've been gone for quite some time. I'm gonna blow the dust off and get busy real soon.
