Hopefully I can get the following done by next Spring/Summer:
Rebuild trailing arms
full VB&P suspension kit (Atleast install the rear portion)
Get rear rebuilt and recoated
POR 15 rear half of frame
If I am adventurous I will attempt doing the following in the front
rest of the VB&P suspension kit
POR 15 frame
With the Interior done and the paint looking good, that will clear me to make mods to the engine without breaking anything else.

Ok maybe not, instead I have several steering boxes, differentials, and other work to keep me going throught the cold and dark days of Winter.

Man, I dont think I will ever get done. Feb.will be two years. I hope to have her on the road for the cruise in in May. Hey Eddie70, HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly it depends on the outcome of a trial. One too many moments of driving foolishness. If I lose the license for a year, the body gets pulled and I get to do everything to the frame that I've never had the down time to do. If I don't *fingers crossed* I'll probably keep plugging away on the interior as I'll still need it in case of weather too dangerous to ride the motorcycle. The worst part is that it could keep me from getting an internship this summer.

I think I'll try to put the front brakes, rear suspension, rear brakes and stuff back under the car. It would be nice to get it back down on the ground again. Most everything is reconditioned and ready to go.
