Thanks, there are a few flaws that need taken care of with the fenders. Some work has been done to passenger side doors as there were a few dents. No major updates however. Will keep updating when a little more progress is made.

Alls well that ends well! It looks great. How satisfying.

Enjoy the assembly, that part is going to be very motivating for sure!

Ran the main wiring harness today. Was not as bad as I thought it would be. Put some little things on gas door, hood handle and licence plate light cover. Sound deadening material on inside. Here are some pics.

Started to put dash pad together. Still got the glove box to go. Started the wiring, not as bad as I first thought. Good YouTube vids for the 69. So far so good. I知 happy with the progress so far.

Just a couple update photos. Wiring pretty much complete. Nothing fried when I applied the juice. Working on the outside. Brakes are bled. Needed new rear wheel cylinders and hoses, but it痴 done. We are getting there.

It looks great, I'm not a fan of the early bumpers though, but everything else is fantastic.
