Wow if I would spend time in the garage instead of on here the car would be done. :roll:

Well the patch panels have been purchased and the time has come to start getting things done.  I am getting a 53 or 54 olds rocket (as long as its not stuck).  Not a big horsepower motor but still supposed to be a good motor.  I am finally getting excited about the build I will post some pics as I go on this.

Ok here is a pic of her for those who have not seen it.  I already have removed the headlights.  Thought I should get a pic before I tear into it.

Aaron delivered my transmission this weekend and it looks to be in good shape.
Tim delivered the Hallock windshield from his stash.
