    I do not see Wild Bill's pictures and that is a great loss and a grave infraction by Photobucket...

    Hi John, looks like I did not answer this question!
    All projects stalled due to work -responsibilities to business and family...hope to get some time in over Christmas.
    65 in this thread is getting some attention and my 69 GS350 3-speed is in the work space. Glaciers are disappearing faster.
    Onward!

    OK Wild Bill, I have to get some help to do some work on the Challenged 'Cat.
    Here is the state of mine. Up on a lift and no engine installed or interior; lots of shiny bits installed but a lot of stuff to do.
    Time to JUMP on it. Cheers,
    Ted

    Glass going back in this week. About time to install a temporary seat and take a test ride. Waiting for my spot in the upholstery shop.

    Ready? Clutch working? Check! Brakes? Check. Exhaust? This week? TA Shorties, 2.5", H pipe + these monster Ultra Flow Welded 27" long(straight through) beasts with
    resonators :) I'm hoping for the deepest exhaust sound ever.

    You're right when referring to how fast glaciers move. This thread really started back in 2006?! Wow! Hey Ted is your shop a private shop or do you sell your skills to the highest bidder? Lol:D

    SpecialWagon65 Ted Nagel

    Well the thread started in 2006, I took the body off the frame in 2000. So yeah, glaciers...I keep finding more cars,
    not finishing them. Bill and I talked in 2006 about driving them to Seattle for that year's BCA. All about the overdrive!
    A friend of mine had taken his Dart apart the year before his son was born...Son is now a successful engineer. Dart just went to the trim shop-24 years later.

    Exhaust on but not quite routed properly. Looking good though.
