Finally some updates. Got my frame back from powdercoat Sat. Was in the garage late Sat night. Motor dropped back in tonight. Tomorrow, trans and headers then I can roll it into the other garage so it stays clean while I prep and paint the floorpan. Sorry the wheel photo isn't clearer, but I must have been shakin' w/ excitement.(they only took 4 months to get to me)

Haven't posted cuz I was livin' in the shop. I said I was going to th gg show in Joliet and I made it. Put in a lot of hours and thanks to my friend Dewey and my neighbors, Mike and Chris it was possible. I spent 19 hours in the shop on Thurs.(till 3am), got up at 7 and finished the car. I test drove it down the road and back and packed it up. We drove 200 miles there for the maiden voyage. The car ran flawlessly down the road getting 20mpg on the way back and it still needs more tuning. Handles like a dream even with a neutral setup, and man it's a riot banging through 6 gears. I will spend some time this winter on details like some small clamps and a shifter boot. Hopefully some big brakes in spring, but I am gonna drive 'er till the snow flies right now!

Hey all, I guess I need to check the forum more frequently. At least I can tell you that I was in the shop. Just recieved my firewall filler panel and master cylinder bracket from DSE. (nice stuff!!) Let the grinding and welding begin. To those fellow Wisconsinites I live in Kaukauna.
