The Circle of Life.

All I could think about while I was applying the new undercoating was how much of a complete pain in the ass it was to get the old stuff off the first time.  And in that case, 2/3rd's of the floor was rusted out.....

Just need to paint the firewall, and the body is ready to go back on the frame for the final time.

Got the core support and firewall painted this week.  The body is now back on the chassis (hopefully permanently), now time to finish up all the plumbing - coolant, air, brakes, fuel, exhaust, trans, etc.  Should be enough there to keep me busy over the holidays. 

I am going to sell the rotisserie, so keep your eyes on the classifieds.  I just want to make sure I won't need it one more time.

Lots of work got done over the Holiday's just not much you can see in the pictures. 

- Fuel Tank was under-coated, sealed, and mounted.
- Air Tank, Compressor, and Valve Body was mounted and plumbing began.
- Radiator mounted and hooked up.
- Master Cylinder and Booster mounted.
- Exhaust fully welded and finished back to the tips.

Now I have lots more plumbing to do.



Also, Pinstriper has started doing some of the upholstery on the removable pieces.  So far the door panels and back seat are mostly completed, and they are just too cool not to show off.

I'm excited to see this car get finished!  It'll definitely be something that hasn't been seen around here for a while- especially with the paint selection and wild interior.  Keep up the good work Adam!  Debbie helps too... And thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to do the interior!  You two are great!

It's ALIVE!!!!!

The motor was started in the car for the first time this afternoon.  It has a pretty good bark to it, but I will have to turn the hi idle down a bit.



95% of the plumbing is complete, just heater and AC lines left.  Brakes need to be bled, but all other fluids are in and amazingly, none leak.  Time to strip and hang the doors and front fenders so I can get this thing off to paint.
