update...yeah!!!!

suspension almost completely in w/2 wheels on....







now if I can only get the pitman arm off the steer box so I can replace the seal.

Looks great..I also like your big purple beast

Very cool man. Any updates to her?

awsome job on the car mate

well a few pic's to update the thread - drivers door back together, sound liner in the car, all suspension on, touch up painting on the frame where the stands attached is finished, trans mount fabbed up for the 60A 5 spd. & misc other things accomplished. Starting on the headliner so I can get the windows installed under the rubber seal.






headliner



all for now.....

Very impressive Evan! I think I have a door window for a coupe and interior panels if you want them. Cleaning out garage again and I want to move stuff. My car should be done by the end of February for sure. I'm ordering new aluminum bent pipe for the supercharger. Other than some welding for that, the engine just needs to be stuffed back in.
I bet you can't wait to get your car on the road.

Thanks Ernie, appreciate the kind words. Yeah, your not kidding - I want this beast done just too much time going everywhere else. I might be interested in the panels, I've got 2 sets of windows but what the he*l one more cant hurt the stockpile. I'm working on getting the wiring & felt in the roof for sound deadening & the rear defroster, I also bought a pretty cool mirror thats got a compass, map lights, temp. & self dimming - gotta run the wire for that to in the ceiling. Maybe one day soon..........

Update.......

So I made a new headliner & just got it installed. That's a 1st for me, I think all in all it came out pretty well considering I'm no upholsterer - it'll have to do.





I think this'll be cool - the wire dangling from the old mirror base (took it apart & used it as a grommet) will feed my new rear view mirror thats auto dimming, compass, temp & map lights!





now I can get the ft & rear windows installed & move forward on the dash & the rest of the interior, wiring, AC, etc... as well as the drivetrain, hopefully it'll go quicker now.

all for now.

Love the idea of the mirror set up.
I'm all for modern niceties snuck into old school cool

More updates....

Glass in - yea!!!!!





Engine w/rebuilt DCOE & ceramic coated header, 60A 5 spd. trans, H150 3.7 rearend & driveline in....
