Some more progress. Panels have been fitted, body lines being finalized and final block sanding in progress. Will be disassembled soon to start putting color on the engine compartment, inside areas and then finally the exterior panels.

Finally home!!!!! Loaded it up right after shooting these photos Saturday.
Can't wait to start installing all the parts. Been a long time coming. But, sure worth waiting for!

A few more pics....the upper rear quarter panel STRIPE was too short on both sides. Had to re-order from the vendor.

Great to see the update ! Wondering how things were going with this car, sounds like it's been a long road..
Hey Paul! Hope all is well. It is amazing how much time has gone bye since the start. I hope the final assembly phase goes quickely. It would be great to have it on the road in 2018. Fingers crossed!!

Been awhile since I posted. Progress is slow but still moving forward. Here a couple photos. Hope to have fuel system installed later this week and then the rear axle and suspension shortly thereafter.

Some more progress......all under-hood stuff is installed. Brake system, fuel system, Dana 60 and most all of the rear end of the car is completed. Hope to have it rolling on rear wheels by Saturday. Going to get the engine dyno'd in a few weeks and then hope to install the engine and front suspension shortly thereafter. Slow and steady!!!
