Canada, nothing to do up here in the winter but work in the shop. lol

With the weather you are about to get (or may have now?) you should have A LOT of good time in the garage!

What are your initial thoughts for the interior? Stock look, full custom?
I like the stock "look" but with some modern touches like the gauges, shifter seats and maybe a few other small items thrown in. Just my .02.

I like the interior on this Fesler built car. The Recaro seats in the back look nice as well as the door panels. Think I will give Fesler a call and see if this stuff can be puchased. I just orderd a Covan Thunder Road dash in black so thats a start on the interior I guess.

Ya the savings account is taking a big hit for sure!! I'm in Calgary Alberta Canada. The exchange rate is good right now so I'm not complaining too much. I should be putting the rear suspension, engine and trans in soon. I will post pic's and let you know how it goes.

I finally got some pictures up for you guys. This car has been a real lesson in patience. You know.....two septs forward and one step back. lol
Its finally getting close to running condition, I just got all the electrical stuff sorted out.
Power windows, power locks with keyless entry, Remote battery dissconect with a Viper alarm. New guages and A/C all working. The L.E.D lights are super cool looking.
I will keep adding to the photos as I have an aluminum 540 ci BBC going in this week.

Wow the car looks great and the shop looks a little different too.lol Nice progress even if it took longer then you thought. It allways does. How close was the bell housing when you checked it? its looking great.

Car does look great, and I like the job you did on the garage as well.

Thanks
I had an initial misalignment of 0.12" and used a set of 0.014" correction pins to get the bell to 0.02".
That was on my 496 BBC, that motor went back to the engine shop with a bad cam. Ive got a aluminum 540ci to replace that engine. Its going in this week.
The engine shop felt real bad for my hassel as did the cam company so they totaly hooked me up with a way better motor for a real good deal.
I will be doing the alignment on the bell and new aluminum Dart block this week.
Not a big deal I like working on this car but like I said, two steps forward and one step back. Lol

Well its here and its in. Started it up and all is good. Some pics of the new motor.
