thanks for the encouragement guys:lateral:

as much as I love block-sanding.. I can't wait to start screwing this thing back together.

Paint is a little over a week away.

A little update on the parts collection:
I bought a AAW kit from one of their vendors last week at the Portland Swap Meet...very impressed, it even came with my new ignition switch and keys!

the 6.0 will be done at the machine shop next week.

and I have the rear-end all assembled with Randy's ring and pinion 3.89's I think that 'll work out good for the trip

in the midst of a full-time job I am a week away from being done with my Bachelor's degree 20 years after high school! Am I too old to park in the "young guns" parking?

anyways deadline is still looking good..many pics coming up soon -Chris

Oh yea..Fred-GET YOUR CAR ON HERE!!

well guys the car is comming along great, BUT, reality is setting in on how much work is required for quality straight body panels. soo...I'm still about a month away before paint..can't rush this part...No columbus this year:mad:

I am starting to rush and it's time to slow down and do things right. I'll still keep pics coming- Chris

STill Sanding
 

here's an update pic. it may not look too different, but I've been working a ton of hours getting the gaps right and block sanding. I'm glad some talented people stopped by to teach me a few tricks.

getting closer. Engine is almost done. all the new exterior parts bumpers, grill, are here. AAW wiring kit, etc. etc.

I am trying to decide on a silver, any thoughts??- Chris
