Yes it should be sweet , Mike does some awesome work. Seeing those pictures make me miss it even more. I would love to take it for a ride even in that condition it was a nice car.
I agree Wayne. They do some great work there. Can't wait to see the finished product. You must be really anxious. Do you know if there are any updates on it?
Thanks for asking guys but nothing to report. Mike is finnishing Rich's car then he promised mine is next . He has it all mocked up . He has to remove the sheet metal and undercoat the inner body then weld up the sheet metal and set all the gaps . He's also making rear brackets to mount my Corvette Z51 brakes with the Corvette parking brake. Thats one of the things I'm sycked about the factory parking brake. I don't like the driveshaft parking brakes. He's also smoothing the firewall and painting it and the bottom with Sikens paint . I had asked him to move the wiper under the drivers fender I have to see if I have the money for that. I was worried about going for it in the winter but I don't care if its a blizzard when its done I'll put chains on my Tahoe. I need to get to work on it to get me out of this funk my mind has been in for a while.
I did order my Fast XFI Harness and duel sync distributor Friday . It should be here this Friday. At least I'll have some parts to play with.
I liked the pictures of when Rich put his sub frame and rear together and pretended to drive it . So I put my trans with the shifter on it and sat next to it. My wife beat me with the broom. Of coarse I WAS in the living room at the time. I figure it will be safe to back in the house in a few days .lol
Thanks again for asking it feels good to even just talk about it .... Wayne

Very cool Wayne. I hope to see it in person when it is complete!
Wayne, that is going to be a awesome car when done. I wouldn't suggest doing anymore setups in the house. As for your Z51 brakes. I am doing the same exact thing. I bought the whole brake assembly with parking parts also. I was going to work on that last weekend. Then my friend brough his 69 over and now I am doing floor pans on it.

It's good to hear that your car is next to be completed! It's been a long wait, but as you know it will be well worth it! No doubt it will be better than new!! Keep the chin up...it won't be too long now!
