Hard to believe that it has been exactly 6 months since I posted on this old dead thread. Needless to say that usually isn't a good sign and that is true in this case. Tom Fischer decided not long after he blew the car apart to pursue his dream of becoming a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer). As a result, I had to do the walk of shame and drag the car home in a million pieces shortly after the metal work got completed.

On the bright side, Darrell Davidson agreed to take on the project without too many demands or too much humiliation for not bringing him the car in the first place. The rolling shell is at Darrell's now and he and Billy are about to get fired up on it. He's doing paint and body, and a bunch of other stuff, but me and MPD are doing the front subframe, engine, rear axle, interior and a bunch of the assembly. How much depends on time and how much Apple Pie Moonshine I can truck up to Darrell's...

Currently the front subframe is about complete, and before long we'll be ready to drop the engine in. The engine just needed cleaned up, painted, and all the components refinished and detailed. That too is mostly complete. Here's a few pictures. Hopefully the next update won't take another 6 months. We plan to make the TA Nats, and of course there is MCACN in November.
