Hi all,
I haven't posted in a while cuz I've been really busy, but I thought I'd post a link to my project website.

Coming along nicely. You'll enjoy it much more when you get all the dust out of your lungs

Seriously ... can't wait to see it back in action.

Wow, that is a lot of work. It all takes time, when it is all done it is cruising time.

Man!!!! you really bit the bullet on the rust.....Super job...on the resto.

Funny thing about colors....In my business we pick alot of colors! If you pick
a color you are in love with and you have to see it EVERYDAY you will
hate it.

But... if you pick an odd color or a color you are unsure about...you will seriously
grow to love it.....like tawney gold!!

By the way what color is tawney gold......green??? brown??? gold??

You have a very nice car....take care scott

Thanks for the encouragement guys!

The drive train is being done as we speak, so it should be running sometime next month. I'm about 50% done installing interior, and the engine bay is basically complete. I plan on getting it pretty much road worthy before I do my final prep and paint. That way if I scratch anything during assembly, I can fix it.

I'm pretty much on track now to have it on the road for June.

(Yes Aerodynamic, that is the original 8 3/4 open diff.)

BTW, I love your car Gionni, it makes me more eager than ever.

reposting the pics that were lost in the database crash! I'll be updating my site in the next week or so, and there will lots of new shots with trim installed/paper removed.

It's finally done!!!!

The car has just finished it's inspection, and I'm picking up the licence plates in about 30 minutes. Here's some pics from this week when the appraiser came by, and I'll be updating my web site in the next few weeks with more detailed shots. I linked a couple of shots of my Cuda and Satellite as well.
