Thanks for all the support from everyone!!!! If you see something we missed Brian and I, feel free to comment.

Didn't want to go the vacuum 3x2 route since the car was a 4 barrel new and any dealer 3x2 add on would have been progressive linkage.

We love doing this, it's like a giant jigsaw puzzle, we are going to paint daubs on the suspension after the body is on the car.

I am not thin skinned, this is a celebration on how this car was new! The goal is to replicate this, but make it a little nicer without going over the top.

I know some of this stuff is impossible to get 100% correct because reproduction parts just aren't the same, between close and better than worn out LOL, NOS is great when you can find, but now we are working on it every week and not in the collecting parts phase, were doing the best we can with what we have.

But paint, fit, finish, chrome, trim on the outside being white has to be show all the way.

Is the driveshaft in correctly? I thought the narrow end went to the rear of the car.

You are right!!! I let the kid do this, I should have checked, thank you.

I kept staring at it thinking something wasn't right, it was right under my nose!!!
