    Have not even started it yet .I started assembly in the back and went forward.
    as of right now still need to install heater box,finish carpet,front seats and seatbelts,vent side covers and sill plates.then the interior will be complete
    Id say by Christmas
    Then front and rear glass,fenders- inner and outer,hood, grille,bumper,exhaust,front wiring,battery and underhood accessories.
    I think Ill be driving it in March hope to have it running in late January early February
    That would put me at a Total of 19 months which is pretty incredible considering I seem to do everything twice
    I have a couple other projects going (TSM CAR and 87 Rosewood car) and a 50 hr a week job so if it doesn't get done it is not a big deal but this is the fun part.I do have a bunch of left over parts i will need to sell ,thanks for watching

    Got all the lights working first time since 78.took a while everything electrically checks out except the horn and it is in the horn because the relay is working.Assembled the inner fenders this morning and have the soft rubber to install (also incorrect material)but I am using it. Gathering bolts and cleaning for final assembly of the front end.Going to bleed the brakes and install backup lights and licence bracket today also 1-12-14
