You can, though it sounds like Jim has 10 cars waiting, sooooo....it might be a few.

Packedup a good chunk of the parts I've been hording and hauled them over to Jeffs place and spent the better part of yesterday sorting through everything that came off the car. Jeff and I also started a list "To Do List" and the beginnings of our plan of attach.



As part of the process we ran the car up on the lift to get a better look at what we need to accomplish.



Jims attention to detail is pretty impressive. I need to get a better picture of the how the frame connectors are blended into the floor and how the undercoating transitions to the firewall.









I know...goofy videos, but I'm having fun and that's what it's really all about.

Thanks for looking.

Fellas, this car looks fantastic in person.

Somehow I ended up getting my hands dirty twisting some wrenches.

Thanks Mike. I nearly went crazy trying to pick the right color and then the right shade. Jim was a Saint and very understanding. He gave great feedback and was kind enough to do numerous spray outs for me.

Todd it was great to see you and thanks for the help. Appreciate your assistance in getting the ball rolling. You're welcome anytime. There are plenty of wrenches to go around.

The rear suspension is in, pinion agile is set and everything has been torqued. After that was finished Jeff and I started putting the brakes together. I've got the rear rotors bolted and torqued, but still need to lace them up with the safety wire. Haven't done that for awhile, so there's going to be a few do overs.

I am really enjoying working on the car. Jeff is more OCD out the details than I am and it's refreshing. There's no rush and I believe we are both enjoying the process. Jeffs shop setup is very user friendly! He has done a great job of putting it all together and and making it functional. In addition to being air conditioned, it's very clean. Never have to hunt for anything which is nice.

I'm headed to TX to do some hog hunting with some friendsand won't be back till Sunday, so no work on the car this weekend.
