Takes time to do everything. I never thought that 5 years later my car would not be done yet. Keep up the good work.

I just took my car all apart 2 months ago. I plan to have everything done, mint and painted and then have it back on the road within the next 2 months. Good luck with your projects you guys.

It is so neat seeing the progress of all the cars. Whether it takes 4 months (I wish) or 5 years, it is worth the wait.

I am creeping up on 6 years with mine, and have yet to actually drive it. That said, don't feel bad about having it for a year and not finishing it.

yeah i understand i just need to continue to work on it. this weekend my goal is to put the gas tank in, finish the wiring for the dash labeling and get the wire i need for the engine harness, get the front harness out and labeled, and if i can i am going to get the shifter in N and see if i can get the shifter to go into gear. if i can get that done and put it in N i will install the driveshaft also but we shall see what the honey do list looks like first!
I'm still considering changing the diff cover to something that is easy to drain and fill but for now i will put the cover i had back on it.
