    Well not as much has gotten done that i had planned but the chassis was painted and its ready to start going back together this week! Body is almost all together and a new turtledeck was found. Little details are getting done on the motor before it goes in. Should be able to get the chassis together and maybe the motor and trans in by next weekend and maybe have it running by then.

    Well its been a long day and a lot of progress has been made but not nearly enough with less than two weeks now to my deadline. The front end got put in along with all the brake lines along the frame run. Still need to do fuel lines but that souldnt be too bad with the engine and trans now in the chassis. Also the rear end was getting finished tonight. Hopefully you guys like whats going on so far.

    You gonna throw a cross bar of some type b/t the frame horns?

    Looking very rad. I'm mega jealous.

    Cool project.
    T's were meant for A frames.
    I've been gathering parts up for a similar project,
    with a v8-60/torque tube running gear.

    Keep at it!

    Thanks guys! It'll definitely be on the road for the showdown next year. Starting classes tomorrow and going in for an interview for a new job so it'll be a busy couple months for me.
