Congrats on getting the car up and running! It turned out really nice.
Glad you got the wiring on the starter turned around, that's kind of funny. But only because I have done the same thing.
So lets see a series of pics as a walk around of the car now that it's all done.:cheers:

Not quite done yet. Still have to button up the interior and lots of cleaning and detail work to do. I will get some complete pics up soon.

The end is near.............

Well my punch out list is down to just a few items. I finally get to drive it in the next day or two. I have forced myself from starting to drive it because I would not want to go back and finish some details I have been working on. Finally time to reap some rewards of my labor and way too much $$ spent.

Here is the exhaust I had put on last week.

Dude I have to tell you, I am so very impressed with your work ethic on this car. I have spent the last hour reading the progress up till now and I am so stoked for you. In the pasy three weeks, my three car buddies and I have gotten their rides that we have been working off and on for the past 3-6 years on the road. I am last with my 70 GTO. Ain't it amazing what I have read over the past hour has consumed your life for the past 1.5 years.

Now, we all need some outdoor stance pictures asap!!

You have really hit a homerun with this car. What a sweet ride.:hail:

Very nice.

thedude327 06-05-2009 04:05 PM

Excellent job !!! It's a great feeling to get em' back on the road after a long teardown. Give yourself a big pat on the back and enjoy !!! All that's left looks like a small reupholstery job on the kid's car seat and your golden!! ;)

And get her to give up her pink seat she picked out. I'd rather fight a polar bear in a pond full of alligators. :D

ProTouring442 06-06-2009 04:50 AM

NICE!!!!

Ok, you've had your fun, now get up here and help me finish mine! :D

Ok.... well..... I guess not, eh? Ah well, maybe next year when I live a bit closer in Tennessee.

Looks GREAT!!!

Shiny Side Up!

I didn't even realize you were on this board! I put 2 and 2 together after commenting over on DFWStangs, and I saw this today. I've got so much more appreciation for the build after following this thread!

The interweb makes it a small world doesn't it. I was out your direction last night driving some back roads.

gearheads78 10-01-2009 06:34 PM

Slight change ready for Goodguys this weekend. I think the red looks much better than the orange.

I waited while you were talking to the guys in the tech area of the autocross on Friday but I didn't see your car go around. Did I just miss it or??

I went twice yesterday and once today in the rain. Each pass got better. That **** could get real addicting real quick. Now I wanna build a hard core carver :_paranoid :D

gearheads78 08-18-2012 01:54 PM

Just noticed I never posted the final pics of the car I took a couple years ago the week before it headed off to California to its new owner. Ive got a 69 Camaro now. It will be a while but it will be built in a similar type build.
