Nearing the end of the interior install of my 68 restoration. A lot of mistakes, adjustments made and now finally putting it all together.

Spent Saturday evening washing and running a clay bar over the Comp T/A. Spent most of Sunday polishing (two step) and applying ceramic coating. Finished as the sun was going down. Looks good, but my patience for washing and polishing has gone way down as I've gotten older. That said, this is the first time I've washed the car since I got it so I guess once in 18 months isn't too bad.

This weekend I was busy and the weather put a bunch of salt on the roads late last week. However last weekend I did a photoshoot for BCForged. Was pleasantly surprised to see that some of the shots are starting to filter in and my car is front and center on their website.

www.bcforged-na.com

I'm pretty proud of that.

Next weekend is the first cars and coffee locally for the season.

Wow, you have a lot to feel good about. The car and the photography are gorgeous. You and the wheel company found a great match.

Thank you! This car has been a 26 year project for me. I almost sold it at several different junctures, but sticking with it to get to this point is one of the best things I could have done.

I should have the remainder of the photos by this week.

Finally got Catalina lower A arm installed, took lots of persuasion, someone must have bumped a curb or something in its lifetime.

Figured I'd share a couple of the images I received back from the BCForged photo shoot. These came out incredible.

Drove the 71 to test the cooling system - seems to have been burped enough and show no signs of been hotted up.
