Got the rear in, just need to get the shock, brakes and backing plates done and installed... Then i started in on the wiper motor resto... Apart, some stuff cleaned and finished, others not... And here it is all but done, i need to figure out where to get that orange rubber insulation that goes over the wires and put the to brackets back on, along with finding new rubber gromets...

73rrunner Thanks, The car bottom is undercoated currently. I would have liked to have a paint bottom but since i will be beating the snot out of the car i dont want to have to clean it all the time. The flash of my camera make the bottom look unfinished, it is but its just the flash. sunroofgtx Thanks man, she likes painting, hates that im always working on the car but i promised if she can withstand another 5 weeks of suffering ill make it up to her. Shes coming out to the nats with me this year so ill introduce you two. Check your PM's on the Carlisle Spot... ixelerate Well i have a 440 that was built for a different project. I did it when i was thirteen with my dad at a friends place in Michigan. It was built, then dynoed, then put on a motor stand for 6 years. I have been searching for Hemi stuff but right now its not going to happen, other things need to happend first. If i had the money about a month ago i found a KB aluminum hemi block, and heads for $2500 But didnt have the money so i had to watch someone else get that deal

Alrgiht guys well im focusing on the interior, trying to finish it completely so i can call it done. So i finished the headliner, almost messed it up when i sliced it for the dome light wiring Finished cleaning and painting the Interior trim, well the girlfriend painted it, she had me scared and got a few runs but the paint that i used for it was great, it managed to run itself smooth Then i started in on the dash harness, oh boy is this a mess, all i have been doing is cut, tracing the schematic, and soildering I am using three harnesses to make one(one not pictured)... One harness apart... To give you and example of why three is making one, just take a look at the wiper connector on the left

sharpie Thanks for the tips. I read your comment after i was to far in to do it that way. Im not running it like a stock harness at all, i improved it in my opinion. I each connector and genre of wiring wrapped up and running by themselves, that way if i ever have a problem with anything i cant just pull that part out, not the entire thing... court9155 Thanks! What i did for the glass was pretty simple. Your supplies include windex, paper towels, rubbing compound (I used 3M's), a buffer (you can adapt any air or electric to for this and a polisher),and 3M's Finese it. I barely used the Finese it (polishing compound). Most of my stuff came out pretty nice with just using the rubbing compound and buffer, but if needed or desired you can use a polishing pad with the finese it. This proccess i made up so it could be improved im sure... 1)Use your windex and towels, clean up the glass to get ride of dirt and debris 2)Put the rubbing compound on the glass, rub it in and all over with your buffer. Then start buffing go over a 3-4 times with it in different directions. Then wipe and use windex to see what its looking like, if needed sand with 1500 or 2000 grit if scratches are present and do it again and then polish the same way you buffed if desired. If you need PM me and i can call you to explain it better!
