Thanks for checking in.

I wish! I plan on pushing hard this weekend, hope to start it the first week of June.
Thanks for the kinds words! The paint has a lot of orange peel, but other than that, it is my favorite color.

Rockers, yes, I am concerned. I plan on doing some sort of clear plastic protector from the woodgrain trim down once I get it on.

I did get the brakes wrapped up, and I had a bad sub that had to be switched out along with some other wiring tidying. Small wins!

I'll do a proper update early next week.
I hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Yes it has. I haven't touched it since July 24. Very sad. Our family was looking to move out of Wa state, but we ultimately decided to stay and remodel the house. The fun part was the addition of a new garage. I haven't gotten organized yet, but I should be shortly.

Thanks for checking in on me!

On top of the remodel are two kids in multiple sports, a new driver & more work travel.

I need to take a week off or more & wrap it up this spring.

Couple more pics.

I have to get the interior panels upholstered.
Wrap up wet sanding
Add the exterior trim
Add a ground buss under the dash
Install the front clip
Exhaust
Start it & work the bugs out.

So close.
