Thanks, can't wait to get it started.

Went to impromptu cruise in at Starbucks this morning. I guess they have it every Saturday, but I just heard about it a few days ago. Had a good time and saw a few nice cars to boot. Also got the car picture taken for a tee shirt.

Christmas came early this year. Most of the sheetmetal I need for the car showed up yesterday and today. I'd say there is enough to keep me busy for a little while.

Looks like the fun is about to begin. I lucked out, all my sheet metal only needed minor repair. Keep us posted on your progress.

Ray, I wish was lucky enough to find a good solid car but for the price I paid I couldn't expect to much. I just wish I wasn't on such a short time frame, but I'm just making this a nice driver so the small details aren't a big deal.

I'm getting married the first weekend in June and the fiance wants it to be the car we drive off in. So, hopefully I can make it happen. If for some reason I can't, my uncle has a restored 51 Chevy truck we are going to use as a backup plan.

You can't disappoint the new wife Justin. If I lived closer I would let you use mine.

Got my tee shirt today from the cruise in on saturday. Also got my console light working and had to repaint part of the top of my motor. Paint started to peel off.
