A little update for those interested...
For the last few months I've been trying to get all the bits and pieces back on the Green Machine. The colour scheme is a cross between Johnny Cash and the Green Hornet, with a hint of Buck Rogers (chrome)
the list of projects included:
-painting out under the engine grill
-installing the heating/ventilating system
-installing the fuel tank
-installing the new vinyl on the roll bar (thanks Eric Shea for the "how to")
-installing the headlight motors and mechs.
-Installing the rear window glass (thanks Eric ,again)
-installing rockers and valences
-installing new SS fuel lines

You get the idea...for every task there is a task that has to happen first.
some pics.

The big Red guy brought me some goodies for my girl! I scored all the rubber bits needed to complete the doors.
I spent the last couple of days installing them and making new vapor barriers.
I installed them using butyl tape cut into thin strips. TBT20 (Thomas and Betts) it's a pipe tape that sticks to everything BUT pipe! works great on vapor barriers.

Today was a little tense! There are some things on these cars you only get one shot at and Drilling holes in the new body work is one of them.

I started with a mylar template ,transfered that to a test piece of sheet metal and then once I confirmed the mylar template was good, I taped it to the body and centered punched. The first hole is always the worst......

With alot of prep and a little luck...you get this

Well, Its been a while since I updated the thread.
Since rebuilding the doors I've done the following:
-replaced the front rotors and bearings
-Installed my new bumper tops from 914 Rubber.
-got the beast to run after 2 weeks of trouble shooting and replacing, Plugs, Wires,CHT. But the real problem to my start?Stall issue was the MPS.

Now its on to the wiring cleanup with a new modern fuse box and a re-tape of the harness.

She's getting there......today was a nice day and I added the side negative stripes
