I just went back to the beginning of this thread...I still can't believe this is your first project. You've done some amazing work, my man.
On a side note...that last pic says it all. Bad ass wheels...your rockin' an oval...and the scenery...yep, I'm doin' it all wrong. Not that Ohio sucks or anything.  Ok, it sucks.

Those are some kind words!! Yes it is my first car build but I have met some cool ass people along the way that have given me good advise. Names to many to mention so i won't even list one.

Kind words that are well deserved. I always appreciate it when people keep these cars that I love alive...when they take them to the next level, it's even better. I've seen some of the folks that have been dropping in on this thread, so I know you've been in good hands along the way. That's what it's all about too...meeting cool people and enjoying the ride.

Thanks hedgehog, and yeah I have been in contact with what I like to call some of the heavy hitters in this game.

Finally doing body work. Prob not gonna post any more pictures until it is painted but, I'm really please with the work being done.
The fire wall and side trays were removed so we put them back in.
Did a modification to the frost vents I saw a freind doing to his car and I though it was cool. Don't need frost vents in the Virgin Islands! lol

LOOKING Good. Coming along nice.
You should put Vert vents in the deck lid to help that motor breath.
I have a set I can sell for a good price. There the period correct weld in's if your interested they come with a template where to install them. Looks like welding isn't a issue for you and they look bitchen once installed.
