Motor and engine tins made it to the shop. As soon as I pulled in super a law was waiting like a pit crew to try and pull it out of the truck. My very lifted truck . He grabbed my step ladder and jumped into the back to hook the motor to the cherry picker. At this point has daughter and granddaughter came to pick him up and take him home and get him out of the Heat. He didn't really want to go but they took him. "Why do I have to go?" "Because you're 87 years old and it's too hot."

Took another shot at the dash top vinyl. This time I'll let the edge set up really good so I can pull against it and stretch as I put the rest of it down. I'll let this drive for a day and then finish it.

Got all the rest of the hushmat sound deadening installed. So the passenger side has the original early door. The driver side at some point received a late door and still had the dealer part sticker on it. Let me just say the early door is the easy one to put the sound deadening in. The late door sucked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I'm glad that's all done but it took forever. What a P.i.t.a.

Sounds like a great offer.
In reality, I have a big "project" already on my plate.
It's called raising a set of 3 month old twins.
Unfortunately I don't get out much ttese days.
I'll just have to cheer for you from the sidelines.
Good luck.
You got great help with both Jack and Cary.

Got the antenna installed. Finished getting the dash top vinyl down and then put the dash top in. When I went to hook up the speedometer I realized something was missing. I found it all the way at the other end of the tunnel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Ugh.. I hate it when that happens.
I recently made a couple of sizeable fabrication mistakes on my build and had to remind myself that this is fun, I'm enjoying the process, it'll be so cool when it's done...

So... remember all that and know that when everyone is drooling over your fabulous car, this is one of the stories you'll be telling them and laughing about.

Hang tough, Matty! You're almost there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Thank you Chris! These 16 hours days in 100 degree days are taking their toll on me. I am doing my best to get this done so I can make it to Okteenerfest. 2500 miles from here. It occurs to me that the trip is so long that I will actually need an oil change, on the trip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Am I nuts? But this sleep deprivation is having funny side effects on me. Think it's stupid song stuck in my head. For some reason the Smokey and the Bandit song every time I wake up in the morning. We got a long way to go and a short time to get there......

Yes, you are nuts. And that's why we love you and can't wait for your next update!

Cary got the hard lines of finalized on the brakes so I believe all we have left is to hook it up to the reservoir and add fluid and Bleed It
