Time and money, two things usually not found together. It is coming along quite well. keep it up. Those back tires look like they are begging to be smoked.

Suspension is next I rattle canned it so It wouldnt start to rust again.Hate to have it rust after I cleaned it all off.Suspension is needed,but im not sure where to start.At this point my wife wants me to put the interior back in and drive it stock for a while.Which I was thinking of anyway.

She’s right. (Don’t tell her that.) I had a ’67 that was all stock except for the Baja body and big tires. It was a hoot.

Hey man! Keep it up!

Trust me...when I was reading the first few posts, I had to double-check and make sure it wasn't me that wrote it!!!

Feels like I've been working on mine forever... Hope to get more work done this weekend....I can't wait to turn the key and hear it start!
