I have been busy with the car, but havnt had much time for pictures or posting here. Here are a few shots. The idea was to get the underside painted, engine bay painted, and interior floors all painted. From there, I will remount everything, making the car a roller. At that point I can advertise it as a roller needing paint, wiring, plumbing, and some odds and ends.

I went ahead and had a torque converter built for it, figuring it would be dumb to put the engine and trans together and in the car just so the next guy could pull it all back apart. I am ordering rear axles for it as well. I had machined down some truck axles and changed the bolt pattern on them, but unfortunately they are not re-splinable (is that a word?).
I was able to get some billet pieces finalized as well. The front disc brake brackets as well as the alternator mount. This is a new 3G alternator and an old style water pump with the outlet on the passenger side. I couldnt find anyone who made a mount for this setup, so I made my own. There is a adjustable turnbuckle with heim joints that goes to the lower alternator hole, and the threaded hole in the bracket.
I also went ahead and made up some aluminum inner fender panels for the car. I dont blame on painting them as they are removable, and I figured it may be a spot for the next person to add a little of their own touch via paint color, anodize, polish, etc.

Im a little behind schedule but hoping it is listed for sale in the next week or so. Thanks for looking!
