Being a rookie, I have two VERY IMPORTANT questions:
1. When did you find the time to take all those pics?
2. What brand of vitamins do you take?
Great Work!
1. I would just take pics on rest times during working on the car.
2. I take Mens 1 a Day vitamins, highly recommend.
I am very motivated when it comes to car projects, this is my 5th major restoration and have been doing this for years on various chevrolet muscle cars. I learned from trial and error, guys from previous generations and know exactly what works. Thanks for your comments!!
Here is the latest update on my car. I got the engine installed. I am working on finishing the serpentine system. I was going to run AC but changed my mind. I am going to buy the heater box from Ecklers that removes the large AC box and has a flat look at the firewall. I am rebuilding the transmission now so I am hoping to start this thing soon.
Hi Zo6, I just got done looking at your post. I know you have done this before. I am doing my 1st off body restore and often find myself getting down with all the work and if it is worth it. I am very impressed with everything you do yourself. Prime ,Paint, all the mechanical stuff. Any words for those of us doing it for the first time. If you haven't seen my post and have time take a quick look. Very nice work and quick.
Thank You
Roger

Roger,
Thank you for the comments on this thread. It has been challenging building this car. I looked at your thread and you seem to be doing very well. I notice that you have some rust issues with your windshield. That will be quite difficult to get right with sealing your t tops. I know that I have had to shim my t tops a lot to get them to seal the weatherstrip. I hope that project goes easy for you. I will keep an eye on your project and give any advice I have from this project. Good luck on your build, it looks great!!!!

Thanks everyone for the comments on the car. I just built the 400 turbo and got it installed this weekend. What a job that was! The driveshaft was a real pain to install. Other than that, building an automatic wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Basically a weekend job. The kit was $240 and all you need is basic tools, some measurement tools and a shop press. My exhaust from OBX will arrive this week and I will bolt up the side pipes. Should have new pics next weekend.
