Well, actually I started her up and backed it out of the garage yesterday. That 3 spd. column shift works much better now than when pulled it in the garage at the beginning of the frame off 13 years ago. The front fenders and hood are next, the are ready to spray, I plan on doing that the 2nd week of May along with the bed metal.

That`s gotta feel great.I`m really liking your resto.Give us specs.It`s looking to me like an original-style resto of a well optioned 6 banger in the timeless Woodland (or dark) Green.
