Whoever makes the 1200th post wins a big prize. I wonder who the lucky guy will be? Oh wait, I see, it's ME!! I can't wait to find out what I won! Hope it's something I can use for my car. Maybe a steering wheel recast!?

Got my parts back from the painter Friday but, due to other commitments, I wasn't able to work on the car over the weekend.
The weather is supposed to warm up some this week so I might be able to get some done.
I still need some A/C parts before I can wrap up all the under hood stuff. Hopefully, I will get them in the next few weeks.

Yeah Phil, no pics? What's up with that? I got several inches of new snow on the ground and my car is hibernating; I NEED pics!

I don't know if anyone wants to see any pictures or not but, here are two I was able to take before I had to get the car back in the shop. The weather started looking threatening.
I only took it for a short test drive because of the weather. I have some issues to address with panel alignment and some other bugs to work out on the mechanical side but it sure felt good to drive it!!

I figured you would have noticed right off that there are no wipers on the car!! I still have to install the antenna.

What a fantastic job!! The car is stunning! When the time comes for me to tear mine down and restore it I only hope mine looks half as good, albeit in a 66 Candlelight Cream version.

I almost forgot to make my weekly update post. First, I would like to say thank you for all the compliments and help. I still have a way to go but it is a lot closer now.
I spent 8 hours putting the stainless trim on and installing the grilles and front bumper.
Putting a front bumper on is not the easiest thing to do by yourself! Especially when the brackets are not adjusted. I got everything loosely bolted on then started playing with the alignment.
And, it is possible to install the grilles, one at a time, with the header panel bolted on.
I will update totals next week as i am off tomorrow and plan on doing some more work on the car.
Again, thanks for all the help. I will be needing some more so don't go anywhere!

Been there, done that and have the skinned knuckles to prove it.
