    I took a couple days off to tie up all the loose ends... and trust me there were alot of them.

    I guess I could put it in a list but It would just be dumb... Its ready to go, and done as far as I'm concerned... FINISHED----- for a while at least...

    I'll cover the highlights...

    -New Floor
    -New reversed eye spring
    -its wired, key and ****on, brake lights and lights
    -new 3.55 gear rear which replaced the 4.10
    -lubed and cotter keyed to death...
    everythings 'tight'

    here are the pics...
    thanks for the support in the FUN build.

    I didnt take any of this real serious at all- From a grove of trees to the street in 3 months.

    If you asked me 3 months ago if I would be driving around a 34 Coupe by the end of the summer I would have laughed at you...


    HA HA...


    here are the before pics in case anyone is just tuning in--->

    heres pics of the floor etc=-

    I did them in a day and they're not quite finished where the rear quarter meets the floor- I POR'd them and they're good to go- made the trans hump- fit the guages-

    its got gl*** too-

    I had to re-engineer alot of stuff,
    had to replace the throw out bearing
    ad stuff like return springs and wiring-
    everything that makes it dependable...

    I pulled off those stupid portos too haha

    people like tuck and videos like that realy make it feel like less of an all consuming obsessive addiction, and more like a quest. lol a mission from god.

    some people are supposed to be building hot rods, its just that simple.

    very ****ing cool tuck

    That car is so sweet it's making my teeth hurt. You need to bring it to Paso next May. The Kanadian streets will never be the same.
