I'm hoping, have been trying to pick up all the parts I might need. Still have a few major things to buy (an engine, wheels, etc.)

What I really need is time to work on it, life has been crazy here lately. The bad part is, its so long between work sessions, that I can't remember where I left off. Takes hours staring at the car before I even get started wrenching.

That without a doubt is the toughest part........just when the momentum starts building you have to pause.......for too long.

x3 it's why I do very little to the car other than research ideas and make plans etc. I gave up trying to do anything while still doing working my current job.

Glad to see it coming together, Ron. The fender looks great!

Christmas came early at my house. New fiberglass hood showed up awaiting my butchery. A lot lighter then the steel part, and wwwaaayyyy straighter.

That looks bad ass Ron. What are your plans for it?

[GregWeld]

Nice Ron!


Who knew they made FG versions for those cars! Not kidding - I'm really surprised -- and only because you know - there's probably not that many being built overall - but maybe there is??


Great project - now hurry up already!

Did the hood come from USBody or Glassteck or another vendor?

It looks like a pretty close fit.
