More pic are coming tonight

But yesterday got her running and driving no more having to push it. Which is good because some jack-a$$ yesterday pushed it so the front drivers wheel was wedged between a curb and stairs i was sure they had broken something... thankfully not. Hopefully it doesn't happen again or ill be very angry.
We made it so only i can drive it they can only push it because were still unsure about brakes. We only reversed like ten feet and pulled back forward.

I also worked on shaving the side markers. I need to dress the welds and then kitty hair over it then do the other side to. I also shaved the hood emblems welded those holes and filler over it.

I decided on for now some mechanical shaved door handles. Cable operated. We just finished a 72? LTD using cable and hood spring. works AWESOME! we used hood spring off a SAAB. so thats my plan for now then electrical later on.

I also traded my bucket seats for a new steering wheel.

I need to pull my dash out so i can weld everything up.Ill do that hopefully later this week.
