Good Looking job Craig... I remember seeing that car at Sonic Burger about 3 years ago,, Now it is going to look as good as it sounded.
I got the Yellow 81 in the garage for the Winter and gonna put a new front end in it..

Thank you everyone for the kind words 
The EFI is Edelbrock ProFlo and the frame paint is POR-15
It has not been easy and should be an incentive to all that think that they can't do it.
I started mine when I had recovered enough from my heart failure and got used to this damn computer in my chest. My lifelong career was over and my new one was taking care of my Wife, who lost the use of her right side in a Stroke at age 38, and the children. My Mom and middle brother passed in Dec 2001 and cancer settled into my Wife. She had hospice care here at home and I started tearing the car apart and started the bodyoff to keep my mind off things. She passed here at home in my arms April 18, 2003 and my older brother, and last member of my family, passed six days later. I am 100% disabled and on a fixed income now which makes it hard to find extra money for the car as raising my 16 and 12 year old boys will always come first. I do long for the day when I might get to drive my car again, it used to mean so much to me and I long for that feeling again before I leave this earth.
You can do it!

Wow, and I’m bitching because I am 60 years old and had 3 disks taken out of my neck 3 years ago.
Work on my 69 has slowed down quite a bit. I need to get off my sorry *** and get back to it.
You have inspired me. Thank You! And Good Luck!
