Thanks! Next is dealing with the dash and deciding to continue working on a custom panel, or revert back to the dual-tunnel stock setup, which I actually do like. I guess the previous "fabricator" hacked a good portion of the dash completely out, so it might be easier/cheaper to actually move forward with a custom piece. Cute huh? I need to get up there and see the dash in person so we can decide. I might go up tmrw (actually today).

Thanks bro. These pics really got me excited today! It's starting to look like real car!

Dropped of a few parts @ Gearhead yesterday and snapped a few pics. The more I see it getting closer to completion, the more I think I won't be able to sell it even if I have a good offer in hand.


Ring Bros hood hinges are sweet


so are the Twist Machine fender braces


I love the industrial look of the Twist Machine shifter


I just liked this pic of the throttle body staring at me

Yeah I saw that too in the pic, but I don't remember it looking like that in person so it must be the camera. It better be!

Yup, my enthusiasm is at a level I don't think I have experienced since starting this over 2 years ago.

They are gonna get the motor running without the procharger here soon and get her moving around so exhaust, alignment and stuff can get done while we work on the dash fiasco.

I gotta find me a stock dash panel and apparently this isn't the easiest thing to find! I love paying a bunch just to GO BACK to where I was before the hacking of the dash started.

If it is rusting, call Ididit, they sent me a brand neew one when mine rusted out, make sure they clear powercoat it. It's coming along nicely, and I love the car color. That was my second choice, and first for the stripes.

Ya know I remember Jason telling me about that on yours. But mine is from Flaming River... I just emailed Jason to take a closer look.

Thanks, and there still may be some "extra paint" going on at the end...

Is the column stainless or has it just not been painted yet? It sure looks like surface rust to me......
