Awesomeness!
Every time I see these restorations I get a little overwhelmed thinking about all the work ahead of me.

But as I follow along with your build, I can see that chipping away at it will get it done.
(though it's a bit unfair that you get Super In-Law help! Does he make house calls? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

Thanks for the entertainment and encouragement to soldier on!

Can't wait for the post when you fire it up and do the first drive. Soon?

Ditto. Your work is inspiring while also making me want to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/post-2-1117899824.gif) myself a little over the amount of work ahead. Keep the posts coming! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thank you sir. Your project is very inspiring. I have not done much in the fabricating side on this build but I will do an outlaw next.

Super in law is awesome! Very inspiring to work with him.

Hopefully the engine will be done next week.

Got more done last night than tonight. Decided to take the entire tail end of the one of the wiring harnesses that I picked up and use it to replace the damaged section on my old one.

Don't worry about the end and just enjoy the journey. I am loving just working on each detail and really learning the car and our parts.

I bought them from him right after I bought the car thinking that I was just going to freshen it up and drive it. We will start to carry things like listen to Future once we get our website done. In the meantime we'll keep making more parts for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Got the vent hose and the hose from the passenger side long to the mixing box installed. Had to get the mixing boxes and the interior vents screwed back in after painting the interior.

On the drivers side I mocked up and alternative hose that we sell too, to try and figure out what one I like better. What do you think?

Aside from presenting an epic rebuild, I compliment you for the excellent photography that has brought this work up close and well documented. As a retired photographer, I'm curious about the camera equipment used to make these images? You were often working in some very confined spaces! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I ike the Aeroduct. It's a better product but it isn't original in appearance like the first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
