And oh yeah, I decided to insulate under my carpet while I was working on the car. Here's some pics of that ..

Nice work,love the color :cheers: :cool:

 

Man THAT is Great!!!
Looks real :cool:
Great Job

 

:iagree: :lol:

 

Thanks guys. It was a far cry from the $3000 I wanted to invest in the engine this year, but it was well worth it. I must say, this has been the busiest year for this car yet (aside from the original strip and repaint). I've done:

All body mounts,
Upper/Lower front a-arm bushings.
Engine Rebuild
Install of A/R TTII rims and new tires.
86 Seats recovered and almost installed.
New door panels and other misc interior panels.
Removeable rear window.
Perma Cool electric fan.

I can't wait to stop working all this overtime and begin enjoying the car this summer. Once I have the engine done, I'll post some final pics.

what did you paint the master cyl. cover with?
