thanks buddy
can wait to see it painted

Yessir!! Have you picked out a color yet? (sorry if I missed it...)

if I dont change my mind before the end of winter, it will be black with satin black stripes

I get it. Paint is literally the hardest thing to choose from.

got some help from my daughter and we made some wheel cribs

I’m glad I waited so long to check on this build. You got a lot done since the last time I checked. What brand door skins did you use? How was the quality? Did you use any skinny tools(to flatten the lip) or just a hammer and dolly? What brand hood? Sorry for all of the constant questions, but your experience will hopefully help me. I have a bunch of AMD panels and am hopeful that they are reasonable to fit up, but I’m not really holding me breath either. LOL

I really dig the pics with your kids. They will look back on these pictures once they are older with fond memories. Knowing they helped dad with his car. Good times. Enjoy it. It goes by fricken too quick.

Keep up the awesome work,
Jim

Wheel cribs
 

What size did you make your wheel cribs Thanks.

18” is what I do

doors skin are dynacorn, fit great. I use a regular hammer and dolly to start folding the lip and a cheap modified doors skin hammer to finish.

16x12 and 12 height

Coming together nicely...

I love that split bumper front end.

We’re all waiting for some new pictures.

sorry, no update till she go to the bodyshop. I think it will be in june.
I ordered some goodies, I'll post a pic of that soon

Wow June seems so far away. I would take this time to mock up everything in the car and get as much done as possible while the car is in metal.

I would install the motor, trans, suspension, radiator, master cylinder, brakes and start running all of the lines including all of the wiring. It's not fun drilling holes in a freshly painted car.

Looking back I wish I would have built the entire car including the interior and then taken it apart and to do the paint and body work.

some goodies for my late christmas
I had some difficulties to ajust my hood with the worn hinges and my rebuilt doors hinges still had some play.
I ordered me a gift from ringbrothers.

And the surprise. One hinge is incomplete and missing some parts.
It was friday and I contacted them. In less than one hour I received a response from them. Monday they shipped me an other hinge and a t shirt and received it the next day.

I am really impress with their customer service, I think they earn a good highlight.

here is the billets masterpieces
