Well, it's been a few months since I posted an update and since I'm waiting for the shop to warm up i thought I'd snap a few pics and check in. New roof skin is finished thanks to my brother-in-law-body shop teacher . All metal work is now finished and engine compartment, interior and trunk is painted. Heater box, steering column and dash frame are back from Hodges Restorations, excellent work by the way . JS Restorations is working on the dash harness and switches and progress pics he has sent me look amazing. Even though I was really careful to bag and tag everything when I was taking this thing apart, I sure hope I remember how it goes back together Today's agenda calls for finishing up the new brake system...front to back and emergency brake installation...it's almost back on 4 wheels

Well...that's a REALLY good question... ...My hope (and plan) is to have it moving, and stopping, under it's own power by mid summer, the "long pole" in the tent as they say, is the dash. I have the dash frame done, the dash harness and switches are with Jim at JS Restorations and thye are almost finished, the dash pads are at Just Dashes and should be back anytime now, the freaking dash cluster is sitting on the kitchen counter waiting to be sent out (shame on me, I'm on my backside on that), in my mind I think once the dash is reinstalled it should be somewhat downhill after that, so with all of that being said I think i can have it ready for exterior paint by mid summer...
