Very, very nice Curtis. Looks like a very clean car.
I look forward to seeing the progress. I love the wheels on that car.

Very true. I think the trick is to just keep moving...a little everyday. Before long it's done. If all goes right, I'll be back driving it by Christmas.

First one I know of. Craig mentioned that there aren't many sets out yet.

Thanks Brother! I'll have to get one of the rears out of the box and get a pic of it. I wanted HRE's...heck I've wanted HRE's for years! But the price on those was just off the chart and the budget just didn't allow for it. I bought them through Tony a.k.a. Nineball, whom I also bought my last 67 from. He runs a wheel business called Deviate Motoring. Really good to work with. In fact the entire deal was done via e-mail and text message while I was on the road for work. He's not a vendor here....yet.

Picked up a set of rollers today. No way I can send the car off for metal work with those purdy wheels on it. Not to shabby for $30.00.

Cool to see you finally started on it. Hopefully you won't lack much before you head back to work.

Thanks Mike. There's a lot of this going on thanks to you. Appreciate all the input. I still need a radiator setup. I'll give you a call once things slow down.

I just got off the phone with Russ and I'll be dropping the car off for Mini Tubs, Rear suspension, frame connectors, and the firewall fill plate tomorrow! Hope he's able to knock it out before I head back to work!

Default The word I'm look for is - SMOOTH

Nice looking car. Definitely fast work taking apart at only 104. The shot from the yard is so cool. All of the cars lined up to be picked over. And a shopping cart to boot. My yard - no cart. Have to bring a wagon.

This is a thread for all of us to watch and learn from.https://lateral-g.net/forums/imag...s/popcorn2.gif Best wishes on a smooth build.

Rod
