In my eyes you're more of the Breitling style..........saves ya a couple bucks too.

Wish I had the $$ to spend on a watch like that! I sport a Suunto Core and it's $200.00 price tag was high in my book. I'm kinda hard on watches.

I'll trade you all my Rolex's for Laurie! Although I think she might have a bit to say about that... but you can't say I didn't TRY! LOL

Latest and greatest......Been working on all of the little details underneath that take so much time. I finished up E-Brake set up. I like using Control Cables Inc. products. Their products are second to none and great people to work with. I used their late model style push on - push off pedal assembly. All of the cables, clamps etc. are done. Mounted the fuel regulator & filter. Mapped out all of the fuel & brake plumbing. I drew it all out on the frame with a good ole' sharpie. Took notes and made a list of what to order. Once the body comes off the frame in a few weeks I will do all of the bending and fitment knowing nothing will interfere. I fit the rear brakes, wheels and tires. Made sure everything cleared so no hidden surprises during final assembly. I'm using iForged wheels. 20X11 in the rear with a 315/35-20. With that said I can officially say that the rear half of the car is 100% complete. Onto the inside this week for console & dash work. Here are a few pics...

Here are the wheels. I did them in full polished finish for now. Once I finalize the colors on the car, I will determine the color of the wheel centers.

Not even tempting. She helped me reinstall the hood on the 67 yesterday. So fun to watch her turn wrenches. Looking forward to her helping install the engine.

Ummmmm yeah...NO!! If I see Curtis "sporting a Breitling".....then that means I'm going to be Suzy Freaking Homemaker from here on out.

I love you Curtis.....but let's just keep it to the car. My heart (and sanity level) can only handle so much right now.

Ok, now back to this Nickelback.......
