Update: Just got tracking for the LED lights, which should be here early next week. The body is also now back at the body shop, and they are getting started on finish body work. A little hiccup is that the car needed floor pans up front due to miniscule pin holes. I ordered pans that arrived, but unfortunately Summit sent one of the pans for a '64, and not for my '71. So that is going back and I'm waiting for the replacement to bring to the body guy. Hopefully, he can have it all finished in about 6-8 weeks, as he has a lot of other projects ahead of mine. In the meantime, the interior guy is going to work on the seats and panels.
Joe also got the transmission painted (pic below) and the engine painted (waiting on pics). Hopefully he can get them put together along with all the clutch parts, and permanently install it in the chassis. Once that is done, I will measure for and order the driveshaft. I will also be ordering the brake lines and fuel lines. The goal was to have all of that (and possible the exhaust) done and installed before the body is finished and ready for paint, and I'm hoping now that Ben is at Bulldawg, we can still achieve that.
Here is the painted transmission and bellhousing:
