    Heck it looks drivable now. Fire that sucker up and bring it down to Texas for the Bash. The rest is just extra sheet metal.

    Looks like it's coming along great.  Just get that little knot out of the wiring layin' there on the floor and you'll be good to go...LOL.

    Put some radiator hoses on it and hit the road. It has that flow thru design that will be great for summer. Engine, seat and four wheels. What else do you need?

    What's that paint you got on there?  (on the front half at least) As much details, PN's, etc. as you have handy, if you can.  It's pretty sweet looking! I like the color and the degree of matte/gloss (or so as it seems in that light at least)

    Thanks guys! It is far from done I still need to pick up a/c p/s drill/ weld holes shut and finish the brake lines then tear it all back apart to paint. Is there going to be a BASH in 2032 ? LOL.

    I did finish up wiring the cluster and tossed it in to make myself feel better about the build.

    Re: Never enough! One of these days it will be a driver!

    It has always surprised me when, after months or years of one detail after another, I suddenly realize.....dang!  It's done! 

    They all go through the same procedure.  Some take years, some take mere months...just seems to depend on your personal situation.   Butt, TS&T, it WILL get finished if you just keep pecking away at it.

    Sure looks like you are doing it right.  Keep it up.

    You're doing great. The devil is in the details.
