THEN it was to go to my buddies house/shop - where they'd do all the rest... that was TWO YEARS ago - and nothing got touched. I mean NOTHING. So I rescued the project... brought it back to my shed and will now finish it up. Seems some guys eyes are bigger than their skill set.

Now - since all of this occurred... Rick (owner) had a MAJOR stroke - so will never drive the car... and in his current state - wouldn't even know it was his. But I'll still enjoy putting it all back together - and if I can - take him out for a ride in it.
Sorry about your friend, Rick. Very nice of you to finish it for him and eventually take him out for an occasional cruise!! Very nice of you .
