This was right at 10 yrs ago...old 235 was smoking hard pulling this light load around.

You’ve come so far with this thing. I’m glad you are finally getting the paint laid down. I just hope it doesn’t take another 10 years to get it put back together

It won't...I'm looking forward to working on this on my schedule again. Paint and body jail is a real thing, but I knew what I was getting into...kinda. I still have to work this one around a few other projects though, but this will be a priority.

Picked up the hood and rad/latch cover today...it was nice seeing them in the sun. Also, got our first good look at contrast between hood and powder coated pieces.

So good to see progress on this thing! My wife is sick of hearing about how excited I am to see it drive around. Please please please let us know what car shows/ cars & coffee type thing it goes to first.
