Well its update time. I blacked out around tail lights and back bumper then got them installed. Also worked on the chassis and steering box in front. After getting all that finished I splurged on wheels and tires. I decided to go with classic crager wheels for that old school look. I also got a few more things done in the engine compartment rebuilt the power steering pump and got it installed along with pulleys, alternator, fan and quite a few other things done. On the inside X-mat went down and also some bubble wrap insulation on the ceilings and doors and around the wheel wells. I began working on the doors cleaning and painting int. parts installed new felt on all the glass guides. Cleaned up the glass but needed to order new belt moldings before they can be installed. I've found that the doors can be very time consuming There also seems to be an endless list of small projects to many to list that need attention.

Car looks incredible. Even more incredible when looking where you started when you replaced the whole cars' skin.

Keep up the great work!

Where did you get your taillight and back up lenses ? I bought a new set back in 2004 at the AMO meet in Lansing but haven't found any new ones since. Keep up the good work, your car looks fantastic.

The center backup I found here in Pa near Pittsburgh, brand new still in the original package. A real score I was very excited when I found it The red lenses. I polished with plastic polish and they turned out beautiful like brand new I was very pleased.

            Ken, that will be great still have a long list of work to accomplish but there is light at the end the tunnel and that makes me excited to keep plowing ahead!

              Thanks for all the responses
