And here we go!
done powder coating the frame.
Time to slap this thing together! I'm going to forgo blasting/powder coating the suspension parts as that would take weeks and my goal is to get this thing driving by July.
I can take the suspension off easy enough next winter and do it right then. Right now it's just paint from when i didn't have the ability to powdercoat.
I get about 1 day a week to work on it for the next month or so with work being very busy.
I couldn't have gotten this far without you guys so don't give up on me yet! Thanks

My hat's off to you bud, good luck.
My dusty border town (62 citiznes) is having their Centential celebration July 4th. All I have to do is an engine swap, brakes, exhaust, and try to put a shine on the worst paint job evar on the 70.
The 95 and 98 are parade ready.

I admire your ambition. It's tuff enough to rebuild these cars once not to mention twice. Talk about labor of love.

I'll leave my interior bare and my sound system for another winter project so that'll save me time.
I need to fix up my gas tank, clean the engine, fix a few wires, might have to do some fiberglass repair on the body mount area...
so it isn't going to be easy and if I don't make it i'm not going to force it. I don't want to burn myself out on this thing....but being able to drive it again this year would be a huge plus.
